Erica Durance is…Canadian? How did I miss that?

Oh Jeff! You thought you were so cool, but…

I thought it was going to be a cool Raising Hope/Saving Grace mash-up, but it turns out it's just…a weird Canadian hospital drama. I love Canada, but they need to get some better shows, STAT.

@The_Tuna:disqus I'm still surprised that the whole Dalmatian fetish thing happened in the first season. Was NBC not watching the show at all?

That's my preferred way of thinking about things: laughing but serious. Probably why The Daily Show/The Colbert Report are my favorite ways to hear about news, even though I also watch "real" news. Somebody has to have a sense of humor about things, right?
