Time to retire
23 March 2008
The first several years were very original and truly funny. Unfortunately, when head writer John 'I'm Mike, from Canmore' Morgan retired, the quality dropped sharply. It's often still amusing, but not nearly as much so as when he was on board, and the sort of humour these days often verges on the simply vulgar, something the earlier seasons saw no need to indulge in. Get the early seasons if you can. And, while you're at it, consider looking into the radio series which has (had?) been on the air for over twenty years. This is the sort of thing which makes me wonder why Canada has such a difficult time putting together successful comedy series. The talent is obviously there. For those who think 'SEINFELD' was funny, I recommend an early AIR FARCE End-Of-Year special. In the words of my idol, Slappy Squirrel, "Now that's comedy!".
