In the news: Death Comes to Town twists old format

From Bill Harris of the Toronto Sun:

  • ‘Death Comes to Town’ twist on old format
    “Our interview with Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall was just beginning, and the laughter quickly followed. Seated in the vicinity were the other four Kids, doing separate interviews. All were promoting their new series Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town, which debuts Tuesday night on CBC. ‘I DON’T WANT TO TALK TOO LOUD, BECAUSE THE OTHER FOUR ARE GIVING INTERVIEWS IN THE SAME POD AND I DON’T WANT TO TRUMP THEIR INTERVIEWS,’ Thompson bellowed.” Read more.

    ” Of all the Kids in the Hall fans who have been waiting for the beloved comedy troupe to return to series television, perhaps none has been as eager as group member Scott Thompson. The quintet brings their absurdist comic mystery, Death Comes to Town, to CBC-TV on Tuesday, and the funnyman says if it were up to him it would have come years earlier.” Read more.

New tonight: Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures on HBO Canada – series premiere “How to Get Ahead in Medical School”

BLOODLETTING & MIRACULOUS CURES
Sunday, January 10 at 8 p.m.

As Ming (Mayko Nguyen) gets ready to proceed with her plans for artificial insemination, her husband, Chen (Byron Mann), is stressed and fantasizing about street races and infidelity. The sperm donor, Fitz (Shawn Ashmore), their medical school classmate and Ming’s former boyfriend, is considering reinstatement at the hospital which stirs up a lot of unresolved issues. His return would also create more tension between the trio since he wouldn’t be an absentee donor after all, but working alongside the couple every day.
