I’m late in posting this, but glad we live in an age when almost everything is a click away, so if you’re streaming savvy check out American Masters “Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me.” This outstanding documentary, already a festival favourite, premiered Tuesday on PBS but can still be streamed until March 19 —
I’ve always been a fan of Montreal native Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome, last season on Mary Kills People) and she’s the reason to watch this otherwise predictable law drama.

Does a hit TV show always fall apart with the premature departure of its leading star? I was asked to give my two cents on that topic Monday on The Bill Kelly Show, heard daily on Hamilton’s AM900 CHML.
