  • 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.

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.
