The TV thread

I plan to watch. Are there Canadian accents?

Cosmos. I'm excited, and I was a C student at best in science. But I remember the show as a kid, and I watched it on Netflix last year (it was yanked with a bunch of other stuff when the rights expired) and appreciated even more now that I was old enough to really get ir. Or try to get it. The preview I posted makes the new show look good. Starts on March 9. Still find it odd that Seth McFarland (a.k.a. Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, stewie Griffin, Ted) is involved.

 

You betcha, eh! This show is as Canadian as it gets. I don't know that any of my Yank friends have watched this ... be curious to know how you like it and whether the 'Canadian-ness' of it makes any difference for you.

 

Amazon has put up five pilots, with the amount of support each show gets determining whether or not it will get made. I watched "Mozart in the Jungle" last night and it was really good, one of the funniest/most polished comedy pilots I can remember seeing.

 

They're on Amazon for free?

 

They were free for me as a Prime user. I don't know if they're free or not for non-Prime users.

 

Free for Amazon Prime members only. However, if you haven't signed up for Amazon Prime in the past, you can get a free 30-day trial which is more than enough time to view all the 10 (5 kids & 5 comedy/drama) pilots plus other 'free' Amazon shows like "Alpha House" .

More so than Corner Gas?

 

Didn't watch much Corner Gas. Probably equally Canadian.

 

Wheels, Ontario has to be the most Canadian show on TV.

Corner Gas is the most Saskatchewanian show ever, at the very least.

 

Oh, I'll grant you that.
