So Ring of Honor, pretty much my favourite wrestling group right now, has been sold to the Sinclair Broadcast Group. this is an interesting situation. It sounds, for now at least, like they’re going about things the right way by leaving the current group in charge and adding experienced people who have a clue what …

Today’s Worst Thing I’ve Ever Seen: The Baby Bullet Infomercial
I just spent 10 minutes of my life watching this Baby Bullet infomercial. No, I haven’t the slightest clue why. It’s awful even by infomercial standards. Seriously, just watch this acting. And when I say acting I’m not meaning to insult actual actors, I’m just fresh out of synonyms. This woman and her emphasis! of …

Blogger Is Broken, Rain Is Stupid And Carin Is On TV
So Blogger has been mostly fixed for about a week now, but things are still a little off. If you ever use the categories in the sidebar to find things, you may have noticed that they’ve been a little screwed up. Some with strange names, some empty, some with weird typos that we didn’t make. …

I’ll Be On Rogers TV Tomorrow
Sorry for the long silence. I’ve been kinda busy, and Steve’s just not been finding stuff that pushes the right buttons. But here’s a little something. Remember how I mentioned Access Recreation Day? Well, tomorrow, a couple of us are getting interviewed on “Inside Guelph” about it. If you can get Rogers TV cable 20 …
Molson Canadian: Made From No Thanks
Is it just me, or do the Molson Canadian commercials that have been on for a while now make you want to blarf? What’s with that slogan? “Made from Canada”? That sounds…terrifying. It’s even more terrifying than getting stuck drinking Canadian because you’re at somebody’s place and you’re not wanting to be a prick to …
Bob Cole Calling The Henderson Goal
I don’t think you can live in Canada for any length of time without seeing Paul Henderson’s winning goal from 1972 at least once. It’s shown all the time, and Foster Hewitt’s “Henderson has scored for Canada!” is one of those things everybody seems to know even if they don’t know they know it. But …
Wayne Robson Has Been Stolen From Us. I’ll Bet Mike Hamar Did It
Red Green regular Wayne Robson dies He was 64. He had a million different film, television and theatre credits that I was pretty much completely unaware of. The main thing I remember him for is probably the same thing most others do, playing ex-con Mike Hamar on The Red Green Show. When I posted this …

Roger Abbott Takes His Final Flight
Roger Abbott, one of the stars of Royal Canadian Air Farce, hasdied of leukemia at the age of 64. Definitely news I wasn’t expecting to hear today. I had no idea he was sick, but as it turns out almost nobody did. He was diagnosed 14 years ago and kept it secret from all but …
The Cozycast Is Finally Here!
Sorry this is going up so late, and sorry for the general neglect of this place over the last little while. Laziness, busyness, illness, hung overness and going out and having funness haven’t made for the best of reading lately. Hopefully things can start getting back to normal soon, but to hold you over until …
Thank You, CBSC, For Making TV Just A Little Bit Worse
This,for lack of any better way to say it, is fuckin’ stupid. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council today released its decision concerning two episodes of South Park broadcast on the Comedy Network in March and April 2010. Both episodes were broadcast at 5:30 pm Eastern Time. The CBSC found that both episodes contained material that was intended …
