Review: Hiccups and Dan For Mayor

From Myles McNutt of Cultural Learnings:

  • Series Premieres: CTV’s Hiccups and Dan for Mayor
    “CTV has effectively gotten two shows out of one, with Butt creating (and starring in) Hiccups featuring fellow Corner Gas alum (and wife) Nancy Robertson, and Fred Ewanuick taking on the title role in Dan for Mayor as a follow-up to his role as Hank on Butt’s former show. And as someone who had lost my taste for Corner Gas (while maintaining my respect for the show’s starting point, considering I wrote a thesis chapter about it), it’s nice to see the talented people involved bringing two new series to the table.” Read more.

Review: Republic of Doyle and The Bridge

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • So what if CBC goes for light entertainment?
    “CBC renewed the right show. But what does it all mean? It means we are in a time of transition in Canadian TV, a period when familiar shows are leaving the air and a crop of new series are arriving. It means CBC is interested in lighter, populist entertainment and other broadcasters are making the more intractable, tough-minded material.” Read more.
