The strikes are over. How will this affect the future of television? Who better to ask than Mister John Doyle?
The retired and distinguished Globe and Mail TV columnist returns to brioux.tv: the podcast to share his savvy and unfiltered take on the crazy business of television.
On this episode we tackle the following topics:
- The impact of the writers and actors strikes on the Canadian TV industry. (Our conversation took place hours before the U.S. guilds announced a deal had been done.)
- Which late night talk show has emerged as the best of the bunch since the writers' strike was settled?
- True or false: Bill Maher is a beacon of light in a sharply divided world.
- Which of these Canadian shows, either already cancelled or in their final seasons, will Doyle miss the most? Transplant, Letterkenny, ET Canada or Sort Of?
- Why do surveys show viewers are ditching newscasts? Maybe it is because, as Doyle argues, in the case of Toronto news, they are missing the story.
- Where did all the TV critics go?
All that and more in a rollicking-good TV shellacking. Don't miss it!
