RussellInClassroom-gallery-thumb-638xauto-254149

From Scott Stinson of the National Post:

  • Mr. D keeps it classy for Season 2
    It has always seemed to be the show’s biggest challenge — how to make Duncan (Gerry Dee) bad enough at his job to drive the comedy, but not so ridiculous that the character makes no sense. It’s a fine line, one it crosses at times, such as an episode that airs this month in which the teacher is apparently the last person on Earth to not realize that religion in the classroom is a sensitive subject.

Republic of Doyle

New season, new changes for Republic of Doyle

From Ted Shaw of the Windsor Star:

  • Change inevitable for Republic of Doyle
    Jake’s thing is keeping the Republic of Doyle safe for the average Newfoundlander. But Allan Hawco, who plays Jake Doyle and created the character and the show around him, said change is inevitable as the CBC-TV series enters its fourth season. Not only is it airing on a new day, moving to Sunday from Wednesday, but there are also new challenges for the characters. Read more.
