Not really, but the shows the CBC has cut are no surprise: Moving On (Is that still on?), Country Canada (ditto) 72 Hours: True Crime (a series like America's Most Wanted without the class), Jozi-H (A Canadian/South African hospital show? Without someone named Dr. MacDreamy, it didn't have a chance), Hatching, Matching & Dispatching (I'm going to miss Mary Walsh being abusive. Oh, wait now she has a movie, now I can pay for the privledge.). Rumours (I watched this once and laughed till I realized they were trying to be funny. Then I nodded off)
Venture, (this was actually interesting) the acclaimed performing arts series Opening Night (darn no more... what the hell was this?)
So looks like the new CBC regime has cleaned house, but what do they hidden behind their backs?
"CBC also announced on Wednesday a handful of new additions to the TV lineup, including the star-studded new Henry VIII drama The Tudors, with Jonathan Rhys Meyers portraying the British king." (Is this about Princess Di's son? Cause that would be totally relevant and "now" for a young audience.)
"Among the programs returning to the schedule will be favourites like Marketplace, (Where is this in the schedule? They never got back to me on my letter about the dangers of pop rocks and coke! Probably went with the mentos and coke story which has more pizzazz) Hockey Night in Canada, (love a good hockey match. Now what night is this on?) and the comedy trio This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Rick Mercer Report and Royal Canadian Air Farce, (Should Air Farce be The Next Generation like Degrassi 'cause I don't recognize anyone when I'm flipping by. The show still seems just as funny as it ever was.) as well as recent hits such as Test the Nation (I gait an egcellent in the langruage part) and Little Mosque on the Prairie.(a show about wacky characters in small town Saskatchewan. What took you so long? CBC has ordered 105 episodes of this hit show)
But what else do they have cooking? Surely the "new" CBC is going to offer us some original, new talent oriented tantalizingly new shows. More BBC than NBC. We shall C.
