Why I'm The Beavis Of The Canuck TV Bloggers...

You've all probably read these posts already, but I still wanna tip my hat to McGrath and Epstein and Henshaw...

On the Canadian Television Fund hearings going on in front of the CRTC...read what Dead Things On Sticks and Complications Ensue have to say...and at the Legion of Decency, Jim's monster post about trying to make good TV in this country, against all odds...

It. Just. Shouldn't. Be This. Hard!

But it is...


And I'm at a loss to add anything new or that hasn't already been said, except to say I'm appalled that we still have to get up in airless lifeless rooms and restate the obvious.

Best I seem able to contibute these days is how a certain Canadian actress currently starring in MVP...erm...arouses me...



So when it comes to writing passionately and intelligently about the state of the industry in Canada, go read the other guys...they're the pro's.




Hehehe...I said hard.

...so are you calling them Buttheads to your Beavis?

Cute post Will - brave to reveal your inner Beavis, as it were.

If only "MVP" would follow the "Regenesis" model of integrating viewers into their programming. Ms. O'Dell could muse wistfully about that guy named "Dix" she wishes she could find again and CBC could be guaranteed at least one dedicated viewer.

But then maybe "It shouldn't be this hard" is CBC's philosophy too.
