    “SLINGS AND ARROWS is successful cable TV. It is also successful highbrow culture (which satirizes highbrow culture). TRAILER PARK BOYS is successful TV. It is also successful lowbrow culture.

If people waiting in the cold to see actors isn’t a sign of vibrant culture, you tell me what is.” Read more.

Little Mosque on the Prairie, a brilliant concept with an even more brilliant title, made Corner Gas look like Arrested Development when it debuted in January.
