Anthony and Diane st
art with a tribute to the amazing career of Leslie Nielsen. Then it’s a recap CBC’s revised winter schedule, which moves Republic of Doyle out of the way of the World Junior Hockey Championships but not 18 to Life, Little Mosque on the Prairie, or Village on a Diet. CBC’s holiday specials include many of their scripted shows but their PR as usual conspicuously avoids mention of 22 Minutes, who have been pumping out newsworthy and well-watched episodes lately. We mock the holiday schedule of CTV for being more a collection of stuff they’re throwing on the air.
Anthony rants about MuchMusic’s thwarted desire to play homeopathic levels of music videos, and also about the comparatively high cost of content in Canada. Diane pretends to listen, as usual.

New tonight: 22 Minutes on CBC celebrates the career of Danny Williams
This week on 22 Minutes …
This week, Premier Danny Williams makes his final appearance on 22 Minutes. And very, very special guest stars join him for his finale.
Award-winning hit comedy series 22 Minutes with audience favorites Mark Critch, Gavin Crawford, Geri Hall and Cathy Jones airs on Tuesday, November 30 at 8:30 pm on CBC Television.
Unfair and unbalanced, the 22 Minutes team is on the scene uncovering stories the mainstream media won’t touch, calling politicians to task, and satirizing the hilarious state of contemporary news programming.
22 Minutes grabs spotlight despite lack of publicity
From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family – I’ve already embedded the video but he points out the way the chronically unpublicized 22 Minutes has been grabbing attention lately:
- Pinsent, Williams this week on 22 Minutes
“22 Minutes is quietly having a stellar year–despite CBC’s best efforts to kill it. The 16-year-old Canadian comedy showcase hit 925,000 viewers last week, pretty amazing given how little publicity the show receives. That’s like, what, three times what Being Erica gets? At, what, one-third the per episode cost??” Read more.
