In the news: ‘Fresh’ new CBC season

5 Comments

Jason Chow of the Ottawa Citizen:

  • New CBC shows are something to write home about
    “The usually staid, boring and risk-averse CBC launched four new midseason series last week — The Border, jPod, Sophie and MVP. It’s unlikely the CBC will undo Canada’s addiction to hammy David Caruso anytime soon (CSI: Miami remains the country’s top-ranked show and routinely pulls in more than two-million viewers each week) but the network has finally created a primetime schedule that is actually watchable, and at times fresh and slightly sexy — adjectives that have rarely been associated with the network in recent years.” Read more.

In the news: CBC’s cliched comedy

2 Comments

From Bill Brownstein of the Montreal Gazette:

  • Radical rethink at CBC coughs up some seriously clichéd comedy
    “Audacious, yes, and for that we give the CBC bonus points. But coherent, clever, comic? Not so much. And let’s just say jPod stars Alan Thicke (yes, that Alan Thicke) and Carol Jarlewski will never be confused for Californication’s David Duchovny and Weeds’s Mary-Louise Parker, although they are cast in similar roles. And that Natalie Brown, playing the mercurial talent agent in Sophie, will never, ever make us forget the most fab Jeremy Piven, playing the mercurial talent agent in Entourage.” Read more.
