In the news: MVP echoes Bertuzzi case

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • PeterWhen art imitates Bertuzzi
    “Peter Miller even looks a little like Todd Bertuzzi. They aren’t spitting images or anything. But Miller’s character in MVP, Damon Trebuchet, doesn’t do the exact same thing as Bertuzzi, either. Suffice to say that in this week’s instalment of MVP on CBC, the general similarities to the infamous Bertuzzi incident will not escape you.” Read more.

In the news: TV tonight

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Hot Box, TV worth talking about
    “A recent survey says that awareness is at an all-time high for the new, more viewer-friendly CBC prime-time lineup. One in three people polled late last month by The Canadian Press and Harris-Decima had actually heard of The Border, jPod, MVP and Sophie. Mind you, that’s heard of – not actually watched. Indeed, the most seen of all the new shows, The Border, came in at only 10 per cent. And that’s also heard of as opposed to liked. While jPod got the most positive reviews of the bunch, it also got the most negative responses. Could this be more quintessentially Canadian? … 9 p.m. Let’s try to up those viewership numbers (see above) for The Border on CBC, shall we?” Read more.

MVP, The Border sinking in ratings

From Bill Brioux at TV Feeds My Family:

  • MVP Needs Performance Enhancement
    “CBC’s sexy new hockey wives drama is simply not scoring with viewers. MVP’s second Tuesday outing netted just 221,000 viewers, down from last Tuesday and down from the sorry numbers in its original Friday night timeslot. … The numbers are also starting to tilt the wrong way on Monday nights for another new CBC drama, The Border, down to 494,000 this week, despite an incredibly timely episode about illegal organ harvesting. … The new CBC reality show The Week The Women Went drew 687,000 the same night, remarkable when you consider it has now officially become THE DULLEST TV SHOW EVER MADE. … Global’s The Guard held steady at 538,000 Tuesday.” Read more.
