They offered me the office, offered me the shop. They said I'd better take anything they'd got. Do you wanna make tea at the CBC? Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?
Is that Kim D’eon sitting there at the Gill table?
Question – if she comes back on CBC does she use her old time Halifax / Street Cents hoser accent or her newly purchased ET Canada /Southern-Ontario pre-packaged lame-ass, watch-too-much-american-tv mallrat narcissist accent?
I watch the show regularly. I am not a housewife or mother so I skip those segments or entire shows. I just cannot connect. I work from home so I watch while I do some easy work on my laptop. But I preferred the first version minus the Cranium which was fun but not necessary. The show seemed more lively.
Why do I still watch? I like the environmental segments and the cooking segments most. I like the fashion and home segments because they tend to feature things I can actually buy. The one on one interviews are good and I am starting to enjoy the round tables they have on the show. A little.
La Fosse aux lionnes? Oh Christ, that’s a dreadful show. And one of their signatures is using really stupid akward-looking microphones.
If the Ceeb insists on still doing programming during the day, can we at least modernize a little and stop aiming everything at housewives? It’s not the 70s anymore.
SRC has La Fosse aux Lionnes (Lionness’ Den) where three women and a guest chatter, comment on English and French press clippings and the ideas of the day. It gets weak reviews, but is a nice fill for the late afternoon and rebroadcast at midnight. This season has changed two of three hostesses.
I really enjoy watching the GILL show. It’s lighthearted (as compared to “lightheaded”, easy to watch and entertaining. Oh, include informative as well. It’s a refreshing watch. Good job I say.
The topic I would most like to hear them discuss is – “How do we save this show?” The main difference I see between the old show and the new show is that with the original you could already see such a high quality of content and production that a boxed set of DVD’s for young parents and single women was a realistic possibility. The new show would make really good radio.

Those are sure some great high-tops the woman on the right is wearing.

Copying Radio-Canada again!

Will Gill/Jill bring in Madame Janette Bertrand and her forthrightness?
Is everything on SRC going to be “translated” for CBC by Moses Znaimer as he did Rumeurs/Rumours?
