I've seen the show a couple of times and thought it was excellent. I also thought it was REALLY smart of them to have Kevin Smith on the show.

It proves that if you write it and cast it well and treat your cast and crew with respect and like family, it all works. <BR/><BR/>It has been produced with tender loving care by the two most decent and humble people I know in television anywhere in the world. The attention to detail that is put into the work speaks for itself. I am a big believer in karma and Stephen and Linda truly deserve all of their successes and then some. They are incredibly generous people, in life and in business. Through their volunteerism and mentoring, they have shown time and again that they care about Canadian culture and the survival of the industry as much as they do their own business interests. I applaud them and the show and wish them all the best.<BR/><BR/>How's that?<BR/><BR/>I think we did talk about it a while back, can't remember at who's place, though.MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308425678775919961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27956160.post-1166760885805902252006-12-21T22:14:00.000-06:002006-12-21T22:14:00.000-06:00another part of the Mediaweek link has gone unspok...another part of the Mediaweek link has gone unspoken by anyone...<BR/><BR/>Degrassi:TNG has gone to daytime syndication here in the states.<BR/><BR/>Care to comment?Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137025404327426886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27956160.post-1166748471382103092006-12-21T18:47:00.000-06:002006-12-21T18:47:00.000-06:00Ah, Simon Cowell.
