Air Farce, Intelligence, and TV myths on the TV, Eh? podcast
I’m particularly excited by this Sunday’s TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show. Why? Not only does it promise to be entertaining, what with the funny and smart guests, but I have a de facto co-host in Bill Brioux, the Canadian Press TV critic who also has an entertaining blog, TV Feeds My Family. He’ll lead the first interview with Roger Abbott of the Royal Canadian Air Farce, who recently announced this upcoming season will be their last. Then I’ll talk to Bill about his book, Truth and Rumours: The Reality Behind TV’s Most Famous Myths, before we’re joined by Chris Haddock, the creator of Da Vinci’s Inquest and Intelligence, the first season of which was just released on DVD.
Listen live this Sunday, May 4, at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern — and feel free to call in at 646-200-4063 with your questions or opinions — or listen to the archived podcast later.
In the news: Dave Foley interview
From RM Vaughan of the Globe and Mail:
- A kid we can count on
“In a delightful bit of cultural back-pedalling, Foley is now playing an obnoxious, swaggering Texan in CTV’s Robson Arms. His performance is a broad, winking burlesque of American mannerisms, complete with pointy cowboy boots and garish belt buckles. One wonders if Foley tucked a pistol behind his back before each scene. Welcome back, please hand over your passport.” Read more.
