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.

CaptioningSUCKS.com interview

From Joe Clark at CaptioningSUCKS.com, a transcript of that interview from the TV, eh? Blogtalkradio show:

  • Transcript of interview on the TV, Eh? podcast
    “It’s the latest, you know, foray in my quixotic effort to get a pittance of money together to start a research project to actually develop and write, and then test, a viable standard for things like captioning and three other fields of accessibility – one for blind people and also subtitling and dubbing. Because at present there are no independently-developed and -tested standards for things like captioning, which is one reason why captioning sucks – because there is no set and tested way of doing it.” Read more.
