Last week the CBC premiered a new web series by previewing it on good ole fashioned television.

The dialogue is lightning fast , a style that is more than uncommon in animation and notably […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present the My TV Nominee Interview Series. A 90s TV icon, impressive academic, published author and active blogger, Mayim Bialik is also one of the funniest actresses on TV playing scene-stealer Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory.
