>Play on hiatus

So now that >Play's on hiatus (*koff*), is Murray the one we blame for the lack of Fruconcerts?

Am I remembering correctly? First it was Mike (bastard wanted to spend time with his family, how dare he?), then Jian (weekly TV gig? How're they supposed to do 200+ concerts in a year now?), now Murray (he must be having too much fun with lesbian Newfie cowboys)?

(Seriously though, anyone know what the scoop is -- if any -- regarding >Play? I just found it on DTV a few weeks ago, guess that means it had run its course :-) )

We regulars only found out a couple of days beforehand. Actually, a cameraman told us last week, but in a weird way that made us not believe him. They're doing 2 specials, one at the end of April and one on May 30, but you know that if you watch the show. I'm thinking there is going to be an audience involved for those since one of the crew told us to keep our eyes on the website for info.

They also said it's going to be changing formats, although I have no idea what that means. My dad had a pet theory that he was being groomed to replace Mike Bullard, who got canned rather unexpectedly a little while ago due to low ratings. Of course, that's kind of far fetched, since Bullard was on a whole nother network...

Didn't you say the specials were going to be on CBC, not Newsworld?

Oh, yesyes. That's right. Main network. w00t.

Dood!� I can watch them without cable!

I couldnt' believe that Mike Bullard got canned.

I heard it on mix99.9 when Humble and Fred were supposed to be guests and the show was cancelled. :o

I'm really sad to see Bullard go off the air - so few places for the lesser known Canadian acts to be seen as it is. *sigh*

sorey.

it was just TOO easy :p

Sorry but....
YEAH!!!!!
I hated Mike and his big head, and bad jokes that weren't really jokes.

As for >Play I never really dug it much.

I wonder if this'll mean Jian's full solo CD will be in the works again.
Or at least a studio single of "Follow The Road". That's all I ask really ;-)
