Lack of Intelligence at the CBC - Intelligence, jPod and MVP cancelled

It appears that the axe has fallen and CBC has cancelled some of it’s (at least in my opinion) best series. Judging from comments and articles at various sites, it seems that I’m not the only disappointed viewer out there either.
Loss of Intelligence
As I had eluded to in an earlier post, CBC has cut [...]

End of Intelligence?

I’ve previously blogged about my fondness for the TV show Intelligence and after the great season finale in December, I now have a free block of time on Monday nights.
Apparently I was not the only one complaining about CBC’s lack of advertising and promotion of the show on its network especially prior to the season [...]

Intelligence is back…. yeah!

As I have previously mentioned, one of my favourite shows on TV (of which there are very few) is Intelligence which plays on CBC. After some rumours at the end of last season that the series might not be renewed, I was glad to see it back on the tube last night. I [...]

Still looking for new music???

As I mentioned in my previous post, one of my places to check out some new Canadian music is CBC’s Radio 3 podcast. I forgot to mention that I also listen to Radio 3’s sister podcast from Radio-Canada called bandeapart.fm. It has some of the best new independent French music. If [...]

Looking for new music??

Maybe I’m getting old but most of the music that I have been hearing lately has been pretty bad. Part of the problem is that most of my new music has been through the radio or tv which as most people know is pretty bad.
One shining spot in this however is a CBC podcast [...]

Great Canadian TV

I (along with apparently 2 million other people) caught the premiere of CBC’s “Little Mosque on the Prairie“. Laughed my ass off! Great show and highly recommended. I was quite surprised as CBC had hyped up this show quite a bit and I was expecting to be disappointed (as I usually am [...]
