I have no idea what is going on at the Panasonic right now. It’s a bafflingly weird 90s-era one-woman comedy show, I guess. But, like, Super Canadian without any of the kind-clean-generous-welcoming-diverse-unassuming-forward thinking traits that make us awesome. Mary Walsh is one of those people- and there are startling number of them- whom I’m told […]
You guys all know how much I love The Bachelorette, but The Bachelor has always been that somewhat unpleasant show that I watch just so that I know the chosen bachelorette’s backstory when she finally gets to hand out her own roses. Occasionally there’ll be an interesting season, or at least some interesting drama- holla, Jason & […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2012 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. One of the coolest new TV ventures of the year was Breaking Pointe, a CW reality show about the inside politics and interpersonal dramas of professional ballet dancers at Ballet West in Salt Lake […]

Sometimes the smartest characters and the most compelling human drama on television aren’t in the conference rooms of Lockhart/Gardner or the meth labs and zombie killing fields of AMC. As fans of the best reality competition […]
Back in 2008, Kelly and Rachael recorded the highest rated episode of the original MyTV Podcast- The Buffy/Angel Special, looking back on two of their favourite series, how they compared, how they aged and how they changed TV forever. Despite the atrocious audio quality, we thought we’d share it with you as part of our […]
The first thing you need to know about my relationship with Martin Sherman’s astounding play Bent is that it was one of the last things I saw performed before I created My Theatre (then a standalone website, now a branch of this one). In June 2009 I saw a truly brilliant production at Ryerson’s Abrams […]
Veda Hille & Bill Richardson’s original song cycle Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata (playing until March 3rd at Toronto’s Factory Theatre) is a hilarious and inventive journey through the craziness of our internet culture. Using real Craigslist postings for fodder, the piece is absolutely nuts but also relatable in a completely […]
