Trailer Park Boys

In the news: Trailer Park Boys book

April 15, 2007 Diane Wild

From the Toronto Star:

Homage to Sunnyvale: Having just begun its seventh season, Trailer Park Boys deserves better than the complete lack of wit of this fanzine effort
“For all its guns and dope and fights and swearing, there is something almost fragile about Trailer Park Boys (which is maybe a strange thing to say about a show that follows the raunchy misadventures of Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, a trio of trailer park dwellers, but it’s true.) The show works, like a lot of great comedy, because of the very balance it creates between sincerity and cynicism, gentleness and raunchiness (or “greasiness”), the way it straddles the proverbial fine line between stupid and clever.”

From Playback:

Mosque shortlisted for Banff awards
“For the second year in a row, CBC’s The Rick Mercer Report is named in the best comedy category, up against first-season nominee Little Mosque on the Prairie, from Regina- and Toronto-based WestWind Pictures, which also airs on the pubcaster. They will square off against The Knights of Prosperity – which has struggled on U.S. caster ABC – and U.K. shows including Channel 4’s Green Wing, the BBC’s Pulling, and The Vicar of Dibley: The Handsome Stranger from Tiger Aspect Productions.”

In the news: Painkiller Jane review

April 14, 2007 Diane Wild

From the Orlando Sun-Sentinel – the show premiered April 21 on CH

Crime fighter lives in a world of pain
“She heals as quickly as the cheerleader on Heroes, narrates as chattily as Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy and battles as fiercely as Sydney Bristow on Alias. Jane Vasco is a hybrid of others’ traits, sort of like a monster composed of spare body parts.”

Painkiller Jane Review
SCI FI Channel’s Painkiller Jane aims high while offering some great eye candy with the lovely Kristanna Loken.

From IF Magazine:

TV Review: Painkiller Jane, Season one – “Pilot”
“It always does my heart good to see comic book adaptations done well. It never hurts when the creator in some fashion or other is involved with the adapting either.”
