In the news: Canadian comedy going strong

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Plenty of promise in new Canadian TV comedies
    “I mean, how do you replace a Trailer Park Boys? In fact, there is Showcase’s thrice Gemini-nominated Cock’d Guns, a similarly deadpan rock twist on the same mockumentary style. On the other hand, if you related more to Trailer’s taboo-toppling vulgarity, you need tune no further than the same cable channel’s new and resolutely rude Testees, which has thus far made the Boys look more like altar boys.” Read more.

In the news: Trailer Park Boys will live on after series ends

From Tim Arsenault of the Halifax Chronicle Herald:

  • Yes, it’s the end of Trailer Park Boys
    “ANYBODY WHO thinks the Trailer Park Boys are on the verge of moving away hasn’t been paying attention. For all intents and purposes, Ricky, Julian, Bubbles and the gang should be around in various forms long after the television premiere of a one-hour finale special on Dec. 7 at 11 p.m. on Showcase.” Read more.

In the news: Jean-Marc Genereaux of So You Think You Can Dance Canada

1 Comment

From Joel Rubinoff of the Toronto Star:

  • Exuberant dance judge stealing the show
    “We all know the dancing is great – no news there – and that the show is the No. 1 program in Canada, but what makes So You Think You Can Dance Canada (Wednesday, 8 p.m. on CTV) stand out for me aren’t the gravity-defying spins, dips and krump-bumps by the finalists, but the way they’re critiqued by judge Jean-Marc Genereux.” Read more.
