"Getting Along" gets laughs...but not picked up.

I was lucky enough to be in Canada when this special premiered and was very entertained. Colin Mocherie and his real life wife and comedienne Debra McGrath play a married songwriter/singer duo who star in a 1960's variety show on Canadian TV. Oh yeah, and Colin's a pothead, their dresser is gay, the producer is out to sink the show, the president of the network speaks through a dog puppet, and Debra pads her bum.

I think the reason this show didn't fly was the fact that of the three other people I watched the show with, I was the only one who really liked it = not for all demographics. But with the witty dialogue and running gags, awesome period costumes/set, and hilarious musical sequences, I think it deserved a chance to fly.

I'm getting along with Getting Along Famously

This show is so original. I am so pleased with CBC for taking on such a witty, risky, clever show. It is a show within a show, and because it is set in 1964, I felt they handled the era well. I love Ruby! I know Colin M. is a big star, but really, I think Debra McGrath nailed it as the insecure diva. And what is the deal with the human bear running through each scene? Very clever, and a bit quirky, as us Canadians do best. I wonder if this show will have some strange cult following, I could see some folks really loving Ruby (I'm telling you, she steals the show). There is one scene where she is Carmen Miranda, with a big fruit bowl on her head...lovely.

I hope CBC will pick it up again next year, we need more risk takers on the airwaves...
