Poll: What is your favourite Canadian TV show of the 1980s?

4 Comments

The first series in the Great Canadian TV Playoff are complete and SCTV triumphed with a 3-1 series win for favourite series of the 1970s.

Now it’s time for the next series: the 1980s.

Unlike the Stanley Cup playoffs, TV, Eh’s Great Canadian TV Playoff boasts solely homegrown head-to-head matchups of television shows. Through the rest of the month, we’ll pit eight television shows (just like the NHL) from the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s against one another until the final showdown to name the top Canadian TV series of all time on May 29.

Cast your vote now and spread the word — the 1990s battle it out starting next Monday.

As the network perviously announced:

“Season 6 promises to take the raucous rollercoaster ride to new heights with nail-biting storylines, curveballs abound and a heavy dose of romance and heartbreak.

ROOKIE BLUE, SEASON 6 – Thursday, May 21 at 9 pm ET/PT
Last season the officers at 15 Division unearthed their sins of the past – dug through it, aired it out, and paved the way to move forward. They have all grown and are more resilient than ever. This season, they will have to learn to embrace living in the gray areas, because life is complicated and the best laid plans are just that. But sometimes it’s the unpredictable things life throws our way that turn out to be exactly what we need.”

What do you think of the new images? Comment below or via @tv_eh.

Schitt's Creek

Link: With sophisticated ignorance and unexpected heart, Schitt’s Creek finds riches

From LaToya Ferguson of The A.V. Club:

With sophisticated ignorance and unexpected heart, Schitt’s Creek finds riches
Based on the title, it’s easy to assume that Schitt’s Creek is a low-brow toilet-humor factory, completely unbefitting of Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara’s combined talents. But instead of relying on oh-so-easy juvenile gags (some still come into play, especially in the pilot), Schitt’s Creek is a show of witty zingers, which grow progressively more melodramatic with every passing episode.

Surprisingly, the MVPs of the series aren’t Eugene Levy (who is more of a straight man) and O’Hara. Their characters both have their moments—especially O’Hara’s—but it’s Murphy and the younger Levy who are the true stars of the show. Even though all of the Roses are detached from the real world, it is the kids whose sheltered upbringing prevents them from fully understand their new surrounding and drives most of the show’s humor.
