In the news: Profile of Jeff Seymour of Jeff Ltd.

From Andrew Ryan of the Globe and Mail:

  • Jeff Seymour
    “On the successful homegrown series Jeff Ltd., the central figure of Jeff Stevens, as performed by veteran stage and TV actor Jeff Seymour, is entirely self-possessed, but somehow he’s still quite likeable. It’s a deft acting trick, considering that most of the character’s time is divided between chasing women and pursuing get-rich-quick schemes. As befits any classic TV character, Jeff invariably strikes out on both counts.”

In the news: Robson Arms review

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Robson Arms reaches for a high bar
    “The initial series of half-hour episodes involved a little comedy and a little drama. Set in an apartment building in Vancouver, each of the 13 episodes dealt with the tenants of one apartment, while some key characters — especially superintendent Yuri (John Cassini) — floated through every episode. As the stories evolved, overlapped and grew, there was nuance and poignancy intricately mixed with the comedy.”

Little Mosque on the Prairie

In the news: Little Mosque on the Prairie ‘dreary’

1 Comment

From Macleans:

  • The little mosque that couldn’t: We’re so boundlessly tolerant we tolerate endless dreary shows about how intolerant we are
    “I went on to explain that back in the nineties, sitcoms and movies began introducing gay characters who were the most likeable and got all the best lines, and that Muslims were likely to be the lucky beneficiaries of a similar dispensation.”
