It took only six minutes for my wife to get up and leave the room. She told me afterwards, she found the show "tedious and embarrassing." I would have followed her at that moment, but felt if I was going to post about the show... I had to grimace and bear it.
The characters, all and sundry, were shallow stereotypes that put me in mind of that old television gem "Hee-Haw"... which I caught pieces of as a child -- infantile verbal slapstick dressed up as comedy.
On the bright side, my pre-adolescent son laughed along with the bumbling, awkward characters as they over-acted every single scene.
So I think the CBC may have a hit on their hands here, if they slot it in as after-school filler for the "pre-teen, underarm-farts are hilarious" demographic.
And that's the nicest thing I can say.
UPDATE: Lotta people watched the Titanic launch too
