Joel Rubinoff of the Windsor Record isn’t impressed with CBC’s Sophie:

• Sophie proves good comedy isn’t easy
  “The funniest scene in Sophie (8:30 p.m. on CBC) — a remarkably unfunny Canadian sitcom that attempts, without success, to emulate the freewheeling irreverence of American counterparts like Will & Grace and Desperate Housewives — happens when the pregnant woman at its centre visits an unhinged psychic for a glimpse into her future.” Read more.

Vinay Menon of the Toronto Star:

• Sophie grates on my nerves
  “When I wasn’t irritated – or not laughing where I should’ve been – I was mostly bored. Admittedly, this could have something to do with the clichés: the gay best friend, the teary consumption of empty calories, the graveside confessional, the overly affected actress-client with foreign accent.” Read more.

Bill Harris of Sun Media talks to Natalie Brown:

• Sophie ready to ‘bring it’ to CBC
  “Brown describes Sophie as ‘a half-hour dramedy.’ If you take the ‘half-hour’ out of the equation, most real lives can be described as ‘dramedies,’ and that’s the level on which the creators of Sophie hope to cultivate an audience.” Read more.
