In the news: The Week the Women Went finale

    “What does it take to get more than a million viewers to tune into the CBC? A reality TV program about a bunch of bumbling boys in small-town Alberta. The Week the Women Went, a reality/documentary style program about how men cope when all the women are sent away, wraps up tonight.” Read more.
  • Dads debunk stereotypes
    “Reality TV/documentary programming at its best — who doesn’t want to watch a bunch of bumbling males attempt to survive one week of life minus their better halves?
