you know perez, can you please remember that we try to come here for gossip. try going back 2 years, if you saved anything, or is that asking too much? the economy sucks, we know it, a political arguement starts. GOSSIP-GOT IT? NOT LILO WITH A DRINK, NOT A PIC OF JEN WITH HER FACE COVERED, NOT MILEY'S TOES, EITHER. SOMETHING LIKE BRAD EXPOSING HIMSELF TO THE QUEEN. JACK NICHOLSON AND NATALIE PORTMAN GOING OUT. MERYL STREEP HAVING ZAC EFRONS BABY. YOU KNOW, RIDICULOUS GOSSIP-OH YAH- THANKS FOR THE VIRUSES ATTACHED TO YOUR SITE-REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I'm sorry to say, but this needed to happen big time. CBC has WAY WAY WAY too many people employed for the lackluster network that exists. Their funding needs to get cut in half too, until they can figure out how to produce some worthwhile programming (aside from Little Mosque on the Prairie" which isn't even good!). Good riddance, CBC..

Re: Mentalist –
No, CBC - Canada's Government funded national network. Not CBS, the American station!

The Harper government is always surpassing itself in the level of douchbaggery it displays. Long live the CBC!!!! The CBC will live on, it's not going to buy expensive American television programming (which is soooo fine by me) it will preserve the regional stations, and be basically making less people do all the work. Until the next government comes in and decides to return funding to the CBC. In any case, even with these job cuts there STILL will be NO ADVERTISING on the CBC. And that is a beautiful thing.

If they'd put on something half decent for a change, maybe people might watch.
I can count on one hand the number of times I've watched CBC in the last year.

Re: haliwood – Here! Here!

Seriously, what is with carolineyy's negativity towards Canada?
And since when did any "state" start subsidizing Canada?? RE: "especially with their state subsidized channel". Perhaps carolineyy should go back to grade school and learn that Canada isn't a state but a country. Nor are there any states within Canada.
I'd also be interested in hearing what the other "giant FAILS" are in her opinion….
