Tickets available for Pop Quiz Toronto tapings

July 12, 2013 Diane Wild

From a media release:

POP QUIZ pits contestants against one another in rapid succession. In each episode, 10 contestants positioned in a circle begin the challenge by answering random, pop culture questions. A wrong answer leads to elimination, while each round of questions becomes increasingly difficult â€“ and increasingly hilarious. Each show, contestants compete against one another, themselves and the clock to win prizes – with stakes getting higher, games getting faster and prizes getting more exclusive as the match rolls on – until the day’s Pop Quiz Winner is crowned.

Tickets for POP QUIZ are currently available for the following dates:

Wednesday, July 17th 9:00AM
Wednesday, July 17th 1:30PM

Degrassi

Confessions of a Degrassiaholic

July 11, 2013 Diane Wild

From Margaret Lyons of Vulture:

Oh My God, I Have Seen 319 Episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation
I never set out to be a Degrassi completist. (Oh, and before you ask: No, I have not seen every episode of the original series. Most of them, though.) I started watching the show with my college roommates back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, but even we didn’t really watch it on purpose â€” I think we were watching Daria reruns and just left the TV on.

The show dabbled in slapstick humiliation but also in story lines serious enough to warrant PSAs at the ends of episodes. Also, it was always, always on. Marathons! Specials! There was no end to the Degrassi wormhole. Continue reading.

From Jay Bobbin of Zap2it:

‘Rookie Blue’ Season 4: Ben Bass agrees ‘McSwarek’ is ‘really complicated’
