Seeing that HNIC is the only profitable programming on CBC, then yeah, those revenues pay for the other programming. So if you want to keep other shows on CBC, better make them good enough to support themselves...
I didn't realize that they had created a show jPod. Wonder how much it's based on the book...

It's got Alan Thicke in it. That's TV gold... right?

Not a full episode. It seems like something that could be worth my time, but I'd have to actually give my time to do it, which I rarely do for TV shows anyways.
Until CBC produces something as fantastic as Twitch City again, though, I can't be bothered.

I saw Doulgas Copeland on the Hour with George Snuffleupougous, and he said he was very involved in the creating and writing for Jpod. I haven't watched an episode - but I hear it's hilarious! Especially Alan Thicke!
And I TOTALLY agree on Twitch City - that show was brilliant! I keep looking at the series at my video store and I have been thinking that I need to see it all again.
Dammit. I was home sick all last week - I should have picked it up and watched it then. It would have been a great pick-me-up. |
