The idea of doing a Twilight Zone-ish satire about capitalism, greed and race is a good one but the movie just gets a bit too stupid and silly for me. The horse people, the boss, the corporate structure, all of it probably started as a good idea but it is never made clear what's really going on at this place or in people's lives, and nothing really comes together in the end. Liked the ending though - sweet revenge!

Love Court
(2009–2010)
Terrible
15 February 2019
This is one of the worst Video On Trial spin offs they ever did and that is saying a lot because they all sucked. Stars Gone Wild, Heat Meter, Headlines On Trial, the new version of Video On Trial, they all sucked but Love Court might be the very worst and was not funny at all. She was terrible for one thing.
Headlines on Trial
(2006– )
Yet Another Terrible Video On Trial Spin Off
15 February 2019
I don't know why they made so many attempted Video On Trial spin offs because they all sucked. I just reviewed Heat Meter which sucked because they just did the same thing but without music videos, which just didn't work at all. And this show Headlines On Trial is just about the same thing as that, another version without music videos that didn't work at all. The new version of Video On Trial really sucked and got canceled and also Stars Gone Wild really sucked and had them acting out characters for some stupid reason. That Love Court show was another one that really sucked, that one or Stars Gone Wild must be the worst of them all. These were big mistakes and ruined the series completely which is too bad because Video On Trial was the best thing on Much Music for years and it could still be if they hadn't wrecked it like that.

Another Awful Video On Trial Spin Off
15 February 2019
I don't know why they did so many awful spin offs of Video On Trial when they were all so bad. Heat Meter was just stupid and boring because they tried to do the same thing without the music videos which just doesn't work. Stars Gone Wild was even worse because they were acting out as characters and it sucks. There were several others and they all sucked with a capital suck.

Creative
15 February 2019
This is a very creative and different show which I appreciate even when the comedy is not there in certain episodes. The laughs are hit or miss but usually it is funny, and the few times it is not does not matter so much because the show is so short you are on to the next one in a flash anyway.
The Alan Thicke Show

Alan Thicke
15 February 2019
Alan Thicke has passed away and this was not the best talk show but that is compared to large budget, successful, famous US late night shows. Alan Thicke's show was very cheap and small by comparison. He might not have been as smooth or funny and witty in the moment but he was very suave, gentlemanly and likable, and slick in a non slimy way, especially when he was doing interviews. He'll be missed. Too bad he didn't have more effort or money behind him when doing this show.
Fries with That

Fun with That
15 February 2019
This show was a lot of fun. Of course it was kind of stupid but it is supposed to be what else would you think you would get with a kids show called "Fries with That", Citizen Kane it aint but it is just good fun with silly stories and fun actors having fun.

Chris Jericho is Great!
15 February 2019
His wrestling persona was always top notch and he actually surprised me with how good his performing was in this short series. He has good timing and is a funny performer with others. The down side is he has no much to do since the writing is not very good and the other actors are just average.

Boring
15 February 2019
This was a very boring show with little going for it other than having Andrea Martin in it. Why would she even agree to be in this awful show? Between this and Schitt's Creek I am thinking SCTV legends need to be given much better shows in recent years.
Good Attempt But Failed
15 February 2019
This was a good attempt at a very low budget Canadian science fiction comedy TV series but it failed. It just looks way too low budget with bad writing and some very terrible writing. Not sure why Colin Mockrie is in this. Bulo and Jason are especially annoying. Where did they find these guys? High school acting club?
Big Brother Canada
(2013– )
Worst Version of Big Brother
15 February 2019
This version of Big Brother is the worst of all the versions I have seen. Even the non English ones kept my interest more than this one where I didn't have to read subtitles and that is not a joke that is true, this show was so boring. How can you take a winning formula and turn it into garbage like this?
Bizarre
(1979–1986)
Great Canadian TV
15 February 2019
Why is so much of Canadian comedy on TV today so awful when we used to have great comedy and sketch comedy series such as this. Very funny. Definitely not for kids but there's lots of quality, funny sketches and great characters and writing. Bob Einstein is wonderful.
The Newsroom
(1996–2005)
One of the Best
15 February 2019
This is a classic Canadian comedy TV series and one of the best Canadian comedy shows of all time. Great characters and acting and some very funny writing. If you like dark comedy and behind the scenes of TV shows you should check this one out, it is on DVD.
