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.

From Chris Neilson of DVD Talk:

  • Intelligence: Season One
    “The best new television crime drama since HBO’s The Wire came and went before many viewers south of the 49th parallel even heard of it. That show, originally aired by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, was Intelligence. The series began airing in the summer of 2006, but was not renewed upon the conclusion of its second season. Fortunately, the pilot and first season are being released in a DVD box set by Acorn Media, with the final season hopefully to follow.” Read more.
