The Mother Corp. Has Landed



What radio and television juggernaut could reach almost every living Canadian and unite them with the wonders of a redheaded she-devil and a stompin' singer's wedding yet still leave people apathetic about its future?

As the non-individual with the most votes so far, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation remains a part of the Canadian consciousness with such hits as Twitch City, Alan Hamel's Comedy Bag and Quentin Durgens, M.P. With 23 vote getters who played some sort of prominent role on the CBC, the public broadcaster has left a lasting mark in the field of mediocrity.

As one Tidewater Tramp fan put it:

"Presents a lineup of mediocrities that would be unemployed if they had to work out side the Mother Corp."

But is keeping Luba Goy warm through harsh Canadian winters enough to make the CBC the most mediocre? You decide.
