Being Erica

In the news: Erin Karpluk on Being Erica at the TCA tour

From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:

  • Erin Karpluk having a ‘blast’ Being Erica
    “I’ve only been here for 24 hours, and so I haven’t had a chance to get that much feedback,” Karpluk said, looking visibly relaxed. “But the little I have, it’s been the same. The feedback is that the premise is very relatable. Regardless of your age, your race, your gender, wherever you’re at, I think that everyone can identify with (revisiting) the past, and that makes it universal in a way. So, while it is Canadian, it’s doing well internationally. I think it’s been picked up in something like 30 countries abroad. So, I’m blown away. I had no idea that it would be like this when we did the pilot.” Read more.

Review: Time not kind to Kids in the Hall

1 Comment

From Robyn Ludwig of the Vancouver Observer:

  • The Kids in the Hall Present: Death Comes to Town
    “Still, Death Comes to Town lacks the emotional and character depth to sustain interest for eight episodes. The murder-mystery plotline feels obvious, the background music is irritatingly amateurish, and the humour elicits smirks and chuckles more than big belly laughs. (One exception is the Town Abortionist who cheerfully offers women a free kitten for every procedure.)” Read more.
