The TV series is overall far funnier than the movies.

Agreed. Too bad there are only six episodes. What many don't know is Police Squad is a satire of the 1957-60 Lee Marvin cop show M-Squad that ran on NBC. The two theme songs are eerily similar. A few of the scripts too.

 
I thought the police car trying to park and knocking over the garbage at the start of each Police Squad tv episode was a nice touch!

If you know that you don’t like Moore’s show, then don’t tune in. I don’t like Alex Pierson’s show, so I avoid it like the plague, but I don’t bitch and moan about it, mind you, I’m usually busy when it’s on.

I love the eating close-ups, reminds me of a pup I once had! Yeah, this is not for me but thanks for sharing MJ.

I can see it going to pay eventually. The Rogers/CBC deal definitely favours Rogers, since the Corp doesn’t collect any ad revenue, and the CBC would have a huge chunk of programming time to fill if the lose the NHL deal, but Rogers will probably push for streaming as they could make more money.

Wow! He didn’t hold back! Thanks for sharing BB.

I know I will probably warm up to AI, but so far I am not impressed with its use for research/writing articles etc, plus most of the images I have seen generated using it are always “off”, some of them remind me of bad van-art from the 70s! I know, it will get better, eventually.

She was one of those people who always had time, and a smile, for her colleagues. So sad, R.I.P. Juliette.

Impressive to read that Crave has over 4 million subscribers as they have serious US competition. I have enjoyed it for a few years now and I appreciate that they invest in Canadian programming, their comedies aren’t too bad, eh!

Although I recorded this, I did watch the first half live and thought it was really well done! The sets combined with projected imagery were excellent, and the acting was as you would expect. My only criticism was that the audio was out of sync by about 10 frames, for you old school video pros.

I think I have a workaround to watch the rest of it, play the recording on the tv and sync the audio off my iPad, going to try that as having edited for years, sync issues drive me nuts!

As much as I enjoy streamers I do think it is our country, so our rules. They are all doing fairly decent business in Canada, so cough up! The only problem is that the cost will be passed on to the consumer.

I guess that’s a photo when Don Cherry blew it…!

I must admit that I tuned in to his show a few times. He often went off on theories that were somewhat convoluted, but did make a point eventually! I remember tuning in one evening and his show was gone, so I moved on too. I did find him fairly chill though!

I think laffin makes a good point here. Telecoms should have stuck to what they know. They have basically gutted every newsroom, both radio and TV in this market. However, I do wonder how many broadcasters would be gone by now had they not been bought up. Damned if you do…..

Too bad. They did keep their two radio stations going though, which is good for the Medicine Hat community, for now!

Thanks for that pop history Lorne! After I posted I did a search and there are actually a few artists that recorded this song, popular! Thanks again!
