sad, sad times
I don't find that it is a problem with Canadian shows in general. In fact, amazingly, if you trace back the roots to the ever popular C.S.I., it had Canadian roots through Canadian Alliance Atlantis; which still owns the rights to this show . It was only decided that it originate in Las Vegas as it would appeal to a larger market. Who would watch C.S.I. Thunder Bay.
But you are totally right, Train 48 is terrible. I can't even stand watching the trailer commercials. I have watched a few episodes and cannot understand what there is to be drawn to. After the few episodes, I had realized I had lost time from my life that I will never get back. This show has got to disappear.
