well, what we do in Canada is create a brilliant television show with our crown corporation broadcaster (CBC), then wait until it gets really popular - say, around to 2 to 4 seasons - then randomly cancel it with no explanation. there is sometimes a huge public outcry, but because the CBC is not primarily supported by advertising revenue, the lineup is usually not based on viewership.

well, hopefully your faves can [upon getting axed by the Ceeb] make the migration to cable networks [such as "The Kids In The Hall" did with showtime], or even to PBS [the closest thing america has to the Ceeb]. i understand many canadian cable networks carry PBS.

do you have any american relatives you can persuade to write a letter to their congressman, to vote in favor of continued funding of PBS? the repubs are still trying to cut the financial legs out from under it.

that's pretty high up there.

out of curiosity, do you also hold a radiotelephone [commercial] license?

nah, i am way too innumerate [maths challenged] to ever get the material or figure out how to make transceivers/antennae. but i have known some hams and i have visited the tacoma branch of the ARRL. i just find it all to be fascinating, especially amateur TV broadcasts- and for some reason, the 6 meter band seems to grab my fancy- i guess it's because it is at the border of the MUF, where one can decide either to terrestrially transmit or to work skip. i was one among legions of those weird CBers back in the 70s.

Though I've looked at gettingmy GROL a few times, and live in a major port city in the great lakes, I've never actually went and taken the test.

Being Erica - it has gay, lesbian, bisexual and bicurious characters, as well as an effeminate straight male.

america needs to have a program like that, but for some reason i get the impression it wouldn't fly south of the [canadian] border. we as a nation are always several years or decades behind the rest of the world, culturally. the biggest problem here [in that regard] is the timidity/conservatism of the big 3 networks [ABC/NBC/CBS], to any new ideas or new cultural trends. btw, the derisive moniker applied to NBC was "Nothing But Censors." :roll:

PBS might be willing take it, as they took "Are You Being Served?," and that show probably pushes or breaks through the boundaries of what the Big Three are willing to broadcast, and the last episode of that was made in 1985.
