Our tax dollars at work?


Can you guys believe that this show is actually subsidized by the Canadian government? I blush at the at the commercials because I'm just embarrassed for everyone involved.

Who's watching this garbage?

reply

I don't think anyone does. I can't even stand it when I am clicking during commercials and accidentally end up watching this show for even a few seconds, it's terrible, just terrible.

This show is probably a cheap way to make CAN-CON (Canadian Content) to appease the Comedy Network's obligation to air X amount of Canadian TV.

reply

What they need to do is come up with a rule so that they have to make Canadian Content but they actually have to make something good. What's the point of making it when they make something this awful where everyone knows it's awful and nobody watches it?

reply

there it is, i knew there had to be a reason it was still here... the no-talent hacks on the show probably work for minimum wage, and clearly, any writing is done about 3 minutes before filming... it's probably also filmed in an abandoned warehouse in scarborough

reply

If so I hope that abandoned warehouse has been burned down to make sure they can never tape this show there again.

I'd almost agree with that Stealing, but CTV produced Corner Gas which they used actual film for which isn't cheap, plus no one can say the writing wasn't brilliant... right up there with Beachcombers and Littlest Hobo, IMO.

Global on the other hand has no idea how to make a good show.
