In the news: Leslie Nielsen in Doctor*ology

By Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Nielsen adds humour to med series
    “More than a quarter-century after his classic role in Airplane!, Leslie Nielsen remains the quintessential comic doctor. That surely is why the veteran Canadian actor was nabbed for the key comic-doctor role in the new 13-part, genre-bending medical series Doctor*ology. The Discovery Channel will show the first five half-hour episodes back-to-back this Friday.”

In the news: Degrassi Extra Credit panel

From Comic Book Resources:

  • NYCC XTRA: “Degrassi: Extra Credit” Panel Report
    “One fan in her twenties succinctly described the show as ‘Canadian middle and high-school melodrama.’ For many fans, however, it’s much more. Several were dressed in homemade shirts featuring iron-on pictures of their favorite stars and carried well-worn scrapbooks packed with magazine articles and personal letters to the characters. One young girl carried a detailed banner decorated with cut-outs, quotes and declarations of love.”
