In the news: The Tudors, Rick Mercer, 22 Minutes return

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Henry and Anne start to lose their spark
    “The Tudors (CBC, 9 p.m.) comes back to CBC tonight. The second season of the madcap series about Henry VIII and his many wives already aired on Showtime in the United States, where it is now a major cable hit. The high-octane promotion is hilarious. Among the slogans being used are, ‘This is the untold story!’ ‘Breaking up is hard to do.’ And, deliciously, ‘This time it’s total monarchy!’ Whoa, dude you’re killing me with the anticipation.” Read more.
