In the news: George Canyon guests on Trailer Park Boys

Tara Merrin of Sun Media talks to the country singer about his guest appearance on Trailer Park Boys:

  • George Canyon lands ‘Trailer Park’
    The country music star will appear on two back-to-back episodes of Trailer Park Boys, starting tomorrow night, in the role of an American forest ranger who protects a colony of North American beavers. “It’s funny because the character takes this very seriously — it’s his whole world,” says Canyon, who is staying tight-lipped about the details of the story line.

Trailer Park Boys book review

From Blogcritics:

  • Book Review: The Complete Trailer Park Boys by Matthew Sibiga and Don Wininger
    “I’m all about the book learnin’, but it feels like a quaint relic, trying to hold on to something better suited to that new-fangled Internet medium. You could Google “Trailer Park Boys” and come up with websites with similar but ever-evolving content. The book has the advantage of glossy pages and prettier pictures, but the major disadvantage of being static.”

In the news: Ratings and other lies

John Doyle of the Globe and Mail writes not specifically about Canadian television, but a reminder that ratings – especially here – can be deceptive:

  • Lies, damned lies, and viewership statistics
    “My point, and I do have one today, is that statistics lie, just as people do. Nobody is going broke in the TV racket. Viewers are not abandoning TV in droves. They’re watching what they want, when they want or when they can get to it, just like me. And I’m not special. Ask anyone.”
