Exhibit A in a case against CANCON
I had planned to write a full review of the new Canadian show "Falcon Beach" today. After watching this insipid mess last night it's not even worth the time. It was truly awful. The writing was connect the dots from a teen melodrama starter kit, the acting made the old gang at 90210 look Shakespearian, and the water-skiing montage was cringe inducing. Which all would have been fine if the show was supposed to be a nudge, nudge, wink, wink play on the genre, however it actually takes itself seriously. Don't waste your time.

I think Falcon Beach blows. But then it could be a ratings winner. On a similar note I think Corner Gas stinks too, although it definitely showcases more Canadian 'values'.
You're right it could be a ratings winner, but even if it isn't it may stay on the way Traion 48 somehow managed to.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving the first comment. Please feel free to come by anytime.
seems to me that the only Canadian shows that do well are either copies of American/European shows (e.g. Canadian Idol) or Canadiana-esque CTV specials, let alone the odd Degrassi knockoff...
