It's unsold stock from last year. They have to get rid of it so there's

This is correct. Transplant is foreign programming and CTV is its home
network, but according to a tweet months ago, both CTV and NBC renewed
it for a third season.

Lol

I often wonder what actually happens to the candy when they pull it off the
shelves the week before Halloween. Like no one ever goes candy shopping on
the 31st or runs out and heads down to the store about 7 o’clock at night…
Or why they think anybody’s going to buy Thanksgiving stuff on Halloween.

A guy I know orders it for Wegmans, a big food chain in my part of the
country. He has to get the order in by the end of February. He has to
anticipate what people are going to want, and how much of it.

It pains me to admit that BTR is on the right track when he says that
Anderson has... "lost something" over the last few years. (The same is
true, unfortunately, of Aimee Teegarden.)

Perhaps better known from "Downton Abbey" as O'Brien, the lady's maid
to Cora Crawley, but she completely different in this role.

We've almost finished season 2, but it is rather silly and can be a bit
purile in places. We only really watch it when there's nothing else
short to watch. It's not a good example of British half-hour comedy
shows, although better than some others.

This has got to be better (despite the description) than
an earlier UK sitcom called "The Other One."

The former one was so bad, even the great Richard Briers
couldn't save it.

It was so bad, I'll gladly send my Region 2 DVD of the
first series to anyone here who wants it. :P~~~~~~~~~~

Nyssa, who bought the DVD just on the basis of Richard
Briers being the star and the same writers from The Good
Life (Good Neighbors) and Ever Decreasing Circles were
doing the show, but it was the premise that was awful

It was free for me, so I watched it. The plot and characters were thin.
There were lots of well-filmed fighting, shooting, and explosions. If
that's what you're into, this won't disappoint. I wasn't bored while I
was watching it, but I wasn't engrossed either.
