Memories


Slash The Writers!

Where do I start?
- Katie McGrath, late of <i>Merlin</i> and the quickly-cancelled <i>"Dracula"</i> reboot, seemed to have a hard time controlling her native Irish accent (probably not an issue in Anglophone Canadian, especially the Maritimes, but I noticed it.)
- Hitting on all the pointless Canadianism tropes: a mixed-race marriage, prominent gay couple (hell, one of the victims was discovered by a lesbian couple on a hike!). Not that there's anything wrong with that,...
- The villain's ID was telegraphed in Episode 1 - I knew it was either <spoiler>the Anglican reverend</spoiler> or <spoiler>his police officer son</spoiler> in the first 30 minutes!
- I don't live in Canada, but I would think after the second or third murder would have resulted in the intervention of the O.P.P. (the show was clearly based in Ontario) or the RCMP, instead of a lot of shoe-gazing and existential worry!
- The appearance of every member of <a href="http://www.listal.com/list/the-canadian-ten">The Canadian 10</a> actor. Even DeGrassi stars Lauren Collins and Paula Brancati got 5 minutes' of pointless face time.
In all, it was a dozen hours of prime DVR time that could have been better used viewing another series!

Based On a Real Murder

Sadly, because this was a made-for-TV movie, it rarely pops up anymore. This is one I need to see again.

Black Cherry Soda - A Philadelphia Staple!


A Mash-Up That Works!


Quiet, Subtle, but Powerful


Not Very Healthy To Watch

Even worse, the show originally started as "Dr. Simon Locke," a Canadian version of Marcus Welby (the producers' pedigree did include involvement in an earlier medical procedural, Ben Casey), but quickly collapsed due to poor production standards (well-respected star actor Jack Albertson walked off the show and laughed off breach-of-contract threats, using the show as his own defense!)
If this show pops up ion one of your syndicated or "classic" TV stations, here's an all-points bulletin: avoid it at all costs!

Faux-lympus!


Not A Comedy,...and My Eyes Are STILL Bleeding!

I honestly can't believe the FOX Group (FX/FXX) dropped Wilfred for this kind of dreck!
