Television

Microwaves ‘r’ Us, 90 sec. skit, Corevideocom Ltd., 1995.

A look of horror.

What the hell's wrong with blowing up a poodle? Boy, Environment Canada - go figure.  
Weekly News Satire Spot Pilot, CBC New Brunswick News, 1994 Although we had moved to New Brunswick largely to raise a family - but that's another story - there was precious little to try except this - unfortunately based solely on New Brunswick news - a shallow news pool, quid?

 
True Life, comedy series, in development, 1991. At the pitch to network, the buyer asked "Yeah, but why do we care about this guy." Fair enough. I wrote a screenplay, in part, to answer that.    
Development of 1/2 hour network comedy for CBC-TV, 1984. When they won't let you give it a title, you know you're in development hell.    
Political Satire for What's New, CBC-TV, 1982-1983. Created satire in September for the upcoming year with a 90% hit rate of predicting actual news - quick, where's my own psychic hotline!

Film

True Life, screenplay,1993. With any luck at all, I'm actually in development right now and gazing at pre-production in the not too...

Hiya Gramps!

 
Concept & Head-Writer, Edsville, A Really Big Production Inc., 1989. About a couple that stumbles upon a town of Ed Sullivan impersonators. Did great business. An Ed Sullivan Impersonator Priest.  
The Office Tower, 1984, screenplay in development, TOT Com. A real live silent film - oh, alright, there's one word... if Brooks can do it... - great for plain physical comedy.

Radio

Writer/Broadcaster, Information Morning, CBA Radio, 1992. No one could understand why we moved to Moncton, New Brunswick, especially people in Moncton New Brunswick. Fodder? You bet.    
Humour commentary for The Food Show, CBC Radio, 1985 - 1986. Food. Loved messing with it. And then the show moved to Saskatoon with new producers and blah, blah, blah....    
Joe Samedi, Detection Canada, CBC Radio Drama, 1983. Detective tracks down Canadian comedy drain to the USA. With the ferocious amount of comedy broadcasting in Canada right now, my guess is that the hole was never plugged, despite Dave Broadfoot and the lovely Sgt. Renfrew. But I'm not bitter. A man with an Axe to grind?
