Victoria Times – A-Channel TV Station Tour

March 6th, 2007 @ 9:00am by Rebecca Bollwitt

We watch A-Channel during the week sometimes, while cooking dinner and playing along with Jeopardy. We do so mostly because their weather guy, Bruce Williams, comes on with “Watch and Win”. A call-in contest where you can win anything from gift certificates to Canucks tickets. This past Saturday A-Channel opened its doors from 11am to [...]

The New Fozzy Bear

February 21st, 2007 @ 8:36pm by Rebecca Bollwitt

Did it ever screw you up as a kid when voices of cartoon characters would change up? Most recently this happens when you watch season one episodes of Family Guy [wiki], which feature a different actress doing Meg’s voice. We were watching it today [Episode Wiki] and Stewie said the following: “Jim Henson had a [...]

Season 11 is upon us as we gear up for the first all star edition of The Amazing Race. If you’ve checked out my About page or read the short bio on the top of the sidebar you’d know I also write for Amazing Race fan blogs. We started with season 9, then continued with [...]

Teams: Andy & Shane [...]

As previously noted, my sister and I are racing in The Amazing Hunt tomorrow [Miss604]. It’ll be a foot race for a couple hours around Vancouver complete with all the bells n’ whistles you’ll find to the CBS version (Yield, Detours, camera people, matching shirts and spazzes). We just got the race details, where to [...]

On The Goat Again

February 4th, 2007 @ 2:02pm by Rebecca Bollwitt

We watched an amusing clip this morning, courtesy of Inside The CBC. This does in fact prove that the CBC can be funny… sometimes.

Rocket Man

February 1st, 2007 @ 7:38pm by Rebecca Bollwitt

Stewie Griffin’s version made us seek out the original spoof on Elton John‘s classic by William Shatner. Words cannot express how I feel about this. Really… they can’t.

The Appeal of ReRuns

January 23rd, 2007 @ 2:07pm by Rebecca Bollwitt

I wrote last week about a podcast we’d be listening to, where one of the show themes was about TV reruns [ms604]. The woman producing the segment said that Boy Meets World was her guilty pleasure, which made me shudder then wonder, what are mine? First off, I know you’re thinking ‘why not just turn [...]
