The first 80s remake I really am looking forward to. The Frantics apparently have made a one-hour special for CTV. They were the best on radio as it is easier to imagine a man with a canoe welded to his head fighting crime without actually seeing it. Nonetheless, I will park myself in front of the tube when it comes on.

- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

I need to be honest about my faults.
I am a bit too tall. Ouch, that hurts.

Hey Michael. Of course, that is the most classic of Frantics lines!

Ah, The Frantics! From trying to hard to be "Saturday Night Live", "Monty Python", and "The Goons", they developed a combination of comedy and absurdity all their own. I have about 200 episodes of the radio show on MP3, and it's still funny.
From an early FRANTIC TIMES, this song is unfortunately more relevant than ever:
I used to worry about all the poor
Social injustice -- well, not any more
No time to care for the elderly's plight
Praise the Lord -- I found the Right!
