In the news: MVP’s ‘awesome dreadfulness’

From the Toronto Star:

  • Ben Rayner’s reasons to live …
    “Wow, MVP – a.k.a. “Desperate Hockey Wives” – is so much more dreadful and obvious than CBC’s relentless promo blitz threatened that it’s actually kind of awesome. All the women bouncing around in their skivvies don’t hurt, either, I must admit, but there’s something sickly compelling and utterly ’21st-century’ about self-aware meta-crap Canadiana too dumb to get its own irony right.” Read more.

In the news: MVP, jPod switch places

2 Comments

Bill Harris of the Toronto Star analyses the CBC schedule change:

  • MVP, jPod skedded for a changeup
    “Obviously, the fact that this move was deemed necessary isn’t great news for either show. Anything that the CBC runs on Tuesday has to deal with stiff competition from American Idol on CTV and House on Global. And nothing tends to do well on Fridays, regardless of the show or the network.” Read more.
