an american in canada

dear cbc,

i turned on the tv and stumbled across your an american in canada tv show.

please take this show off the air. it is bad. really bad.

at first i thought it was trying to be ironic. but it's not. it's simply some of the worst script-writing around - textbook in the worst kind of way. in trying to appeal to a traditional sitcom audience you've allowed these fools to make something that feels bland and icky. i think it probably even misses its target audience - frankly, i don't think there could be a target audience for this show.

and what's with the wise indian character? it used to be that we would pull out the token 'indian' and now we reach for the platitude preaching 'east indian'.

this show is nothing but a bucket of clichés and a silly soundtrack. you have taken a handful of well-known canadian actors and cast them in humiliatingly awful roles.

do we think this show will do well in the export market? let's put this one to rest and not inflict it on any more hapless victims.
