This happened a couple of weeks ago now but it was so disappointing I had to let the fumes dissipate first. I’m talking about that final episode of The Conners (which aired April 23 on ABC and CTV. Stream it on their digital platforms). Here was the only reboot I can think of to last
Canadian network coverage of the 2025 Federal Election kept score okay, but they had a hard time following the puck Monday night and into Tuesday morning. With votes still being counted Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney emerged with a minority government victory over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. The NDP got stomped, the Bloc battered, and the

TV critics, like everyone else, sometimes get caught down rabbit holes. This morning I was on with Humble & Fred Radio (except I was speaking with “Humble” Howard Glassman and Maureen Holloway; she sitting in this month for regular co-host Fred Patterson). Howard, who assumed I had seen it, asked for a quick description of
Season Two of Mo, now streaming on Netflix, finds our hero in a tight spot. If you recall where season one left off (and why should you? Season One premiered way back in 2022), Mohammed “Mo” Najjar (Mo Amer) was stuffed into the back of a truck full of uprooted fruit trees having illegally crossed
