Haven't posted on this show in awhile... missed a couple of episodes but watched on Friday night to be reminded how awesome it is... It'll be cool to watch the whole series from start to finish when its done...

I want to say how much I love Alan Thicke in this, but honestly every actor is awesome...

I also love any show (even though its book adap) that kills off main characters...

Haven't watched this week's ep. Weird. Good to know it's on the Ceeb.

The show wasn't on Good Friday due to Figure Skating yet when it returned Friday night and showed the "previously on jPOD" it was apparent that an epi had been skipped. My torrent site doesn't offer the missing epi either.

ETA - CBC, the most technologically backward network on the planet has the epis available to view online - whodathunk...

^ I think so too. jPod should do better after the Friday night news spoofs than MVP does. So while it isn't exactly awesome news for jPod, it's not necessarily bad news either.

I think it might more be about MVP which is swapping places with JPod. Probably just testing the waters.

Being moved to Friday at 9 is not a good sign, US shows quietly go to Friday to die, is the same true with CBC? The show is yet to get enough viewers to land in the BBM Top 30 for the week.

The absorbed twin and dueling simulations were hilarious. LOVED Cowboy almost hooking up with his si and then panic scramble to erase all traces. "What else do you expect form people who's parents died in a murder/suicide?" "That was a bad Christmas."

Um.... Sherry Miller forgot to kill someone this week.
The acting wasn't as cardboardy at least.

Loved this week's ep. Much more than last week's. Everyone seemed much more casual and comfortable with their role. Kam's first appearance was great.

So who will Sherry Miller's character kill off next week? LOL

What a strangely random show. I never got to reading Coupland's book that this was based on but it's an interesting start. For a show that starts off with someone dying, it moves at a very leisurely pace.

That's very Coupland. He likes to interject random pop culture stuff into his books.

BTW: Just noticed what a complete ripoff your Sucks name is from the book. Uncreative bastard!

I totally picked up the book the other day for some light reading on a two-day "vacation." Sadly, my friends brought a Wii and that kept me thoroughly entertained, so I barely looked at the book. But what I have read was fantastic, although the pages of randomness with seemingly no connection to the plot are a little confusing.

Why is this not a torrent yet?

Was I the only one who noticed that Alan Thicke had as much botox as Jill Clayburgh in DSM? Granted he is 700 years old.

I never read the book and was asked to tape the show for my other half but I found it to be a huge waste of time. True a good looking cast but acting school should be on the horizon for most of them. Sherry Miller was way stronger on QAF.

Enjoy :) Some fun twists coming along.

I havent... I kind of went through my Coupland phase in my early twenties and thought I had outgrown him... maybe I'm wrong. But, just like I won't read the Dexter books because I love the tv series so much I'll prob just stick to the tube version.
