Suggestions for subjects welcome. He may no longer be standing (perhaps he's sitting, reclining, lounging even), but Toronto comedian Seán Cullen made a solid go of it on Last Comic Standing, despite the fact that Canadians weren't allowed to vote.......

Kenny Hotz of Kenny vs. Spenny pisses people off like it's his job. Well, actually, it is his job. He's seen downtown scantily clad more often than not. He's known to hit on much, much older women. He's fed his best friend acid while he had an octopus on his head. And yesterday he went for the biggest-hitting blow in the books, advertising his asshole ways to the masses―with mile-high blasphemy in the sky.......

Friday's episode of Canadian drama Flashpoint managed to bring back about 85% of the audience for round two and was the most-watched program of the night on both sides of the border. (The decline could be attributed to the Joker Effect, as ratings for Friday were depressed compared to the previous week, while 10 million people took in the newest Batman film.) In a sign of confidence, CTV and CBS, which broadcast Flashpoint in......

Going by popularity, the song above is the front-runner for the CBC's Hockey Night in Canada Anthem Challenge. Titled "Hockey Scores" and created by Logan Aube from Aurora, it is the most viewed, top rated, and most commented-on submission of over 1,000 themes entered thus far. Described by Aube as "a beautiful theme encompassing the heart of hockey," it is absolutely and irrefutably atrocious, a million times worse than the iconic Hockey Night in......

Flashpoint, about an elite police squad based in Toronto, was off to a great start on Friday, with over one million Canadian viewers and over eight million American viewers tuning in for the premiere on CTV and CBS—despite the lackluster 10 p.m. time slot. The show was the top-rated program for Friday, and should rank in the top 15 primetime shows for the week in both Canada and the United States. The success of Flashpoint......

Somehow, "Sesame Street" is about to begin its thirty-ninth season, and they're pulling out all the stops for their premiere on August 11. Among the whack of celebrity guests slated for the first show of the new season is the omnipresent Leslie Feist; she'll debut a new song with Elmo and perform "1234." Judging by a clip of the latter performance that was uploaded to YouTube this morning, the whole thing is looking pretty......

Back in the 1960s, if you were female and wanted to be a journalist, you would have had to content yourself with getting coffee for the “real” reporters (i.e. men), making copies (for men), and maybe (if you were lucky) doing research work and writing (which men would read). Barbara Walters changed that, paving the way for everyone from Diane Sawyer and Christiane Amanpour to Meredith Vieira and Katie Couric. She was in Toronto last......

Canada's talented children have gone unexploited for far too long, an injustice that Universal Music has finally seen fit to remedy. According to Hollywood Reporter, the label has "joined the search for Canada's version of Miley Cyrus," and, with YTV, has created a new TV talent competition called The Instant Star, designed for children 15 and under. The winner gets a record contract, fame, and, presumably, a shot at pubescence. If the name of the......

ThinkWater.ca, the Canadian manifestation of the United Nations' Water for Life campaign, is by all appearances a worthy project, aimed at educating citizens in various facets of water conservation, from the problems with bottled water, to the benefits of more efficient toilets. One of its TV ads [MPG], in which random shoppers in Kensington Market are quizzed on their knowledge of storm water management (and are grossed out to learn that everything that goes......

After six successful years on the Oxygen network south of the border, flawless Toronto septuagenarian sexpert Sue Johanson is ending her TV call-in show Talk Sex. The show was the most popular late-night draw for the network, receiving 100,000 attempted phone calls per episode, but the 77-year-old registered nurse, lecturer, and sex therapist felt it had become tiresome working the 11 p.m.–1 a.m. time slot for more than three decades. Talk Sex began airing......
