LOL (can I join, I'll make the cosmos tho for the show tonight - gotta go find the ingredients, lime cranberry juice, hmmmm vodka, and brb!!)

BTW the Kmart comercial, he was interviewed on morning TV, he actually went to an open audition, and he was supposed to be one of a large group, he was supposed to say this stupid line (true story - honest!!) about tighty whities (re the underwear joe boxer!) anyway he actually said the line a couple of different ways for the interview process, and then they asked him to dance, and he did what he calls the Kangaroo dance, and went as wild as he could to get the gig!!

And the rest is history!!

LOL!! I love that commercial even more after I heard his story!!

Dont forget the cosmo later!! *G

So Reader - what you're telling us is that it really is Marcellas??!!! I'll be watching even more closely next time I see it. I'm the sort of person who goes into hysterics over most ridiculous commercials, and this one usually has me laughing, but I'm sure to be lauging even more so!!! Thanks for the info!!! Looking forward to the cosmos!

hey, i don't see the ch kmart commercial here in b.c., but we get waaaay too much of the woman who tries to coat-hanger her way into someone else's car because the keys... dang, i hate the sound of metal scratching metal.

i miss american commercials. hehe, but i LOVE the kokanee (sasquatch/beer ranger) and the 'i AM canadian' commercials!

Snee - I'm with you - we get TONNES (notice, spelled properly)of that woman with the coat hanger, and I feel like smashing my head against the TV everytime she comes on - thinking to myself, "Sure lady, go ahead, prove that women are stupid when it comes to their cars" stigma!!! We get some American commercials, but none of them during the Super Bowl - the ONLY reason to watch is for the commercials IMHO. We get the Kokanee commercial - I just love that one, and my favourite, is still the Blockbuster commercial with the dancing bunny and gerbil - I nearly pee my pants when I see it - still after 4 months have passed!!!

Djgirl, I do love the Canucks! I would GLADLY trade places with anyone in Toronto who would rather live in Florida. If you like year round heat and humidity, this is the place!! Now if I could just find a nice canadian boy to marry me!! Any help would be appreciated!!

Nutsy, are you referring to that horrible drunk? Gosh, what is his name? Dan McLean - notorious Hamilton drunk! My dad practically worships that weather guy (Matt Hayes) and is somehow running into him all the time!

Stinger - hello to a fellow Hamiltonian!

Greetings Fellow Canucks (and BB fans). This is my first post. I've been lurking for over a year now and really enjoy reading everyone's opinions. Just had to jump in here today when I read your post Djgirl. Everytime I see that out-of-date commercial from BB2 I wonder if anyone out there finds it as irritating as I do. Glad to know I am not alone! Now I will keep a look out for that K-Mart commercial because I don't know what you guys are talking about. I don't think I've seen it. (but then again I live in a little town 2 hours from the big city) I'll probably laugh myself silly tonight if it comes on and I see the Marci look alike. Lovin' you guys. Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Another Ontarian here! I've seen the dancing man ad and at first thought it was Marc but then realized it wasn't. I've got the 14 day free on Real Player til Sun. Anyone know what the rate will be in Cdn. funds? Need to figure if it will be worth it. This FOTH is becoming annoying and the love fest of E and L (but thank god that will end tonight!!!)

In Alberta, A-Channel shows the BB3 houseguests, and use different promos of them from time to time.

in the vancouver/island (possibly the rest of b.c.) the promos are the same old ones of krista showering outside. enough already! AND i want to see someone else's eye on the right side of my screen during the opening credits!

i'm with Snee....when you guys talked about CH I thought you were talking about the Victoria station because that is the promos they show and the name of the station, so I was confused by the title of the thread.

Hey Frog....believe me Toronto isn't much better than Florida in the summer time! It is hot and humid and full of smog right now (or so the news says)....I lived in that area for 20 yrs
Believe me you'd rather move to our beutiful vancouver island where it is not humid in the summer and quite mild in the winter!

ok done my tourism commercial for van. island....I just love it here so much!

shh, cute! tourism is good, but we don't want all sorts of people moving here and crowding us! hehe

Yeah Cute, quiet! We just want them to come and leave their money in BC!

So is this the Canuk thread or what?


Hey Ariasmum, are you really my mum? I thought she was at the lake this week!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, those promos drive me nuts too we get them here on the CBS affiliate from Spokane.

I forget who asking about The Lofters now, but I can say with 100% certainty that the show has been cancelled. angry3

It still plays on the Life Network, but only in re-runs, and only until the new season (sometime this fall i imagine), or so I've been told. Selbstironie

heres a complaint for us canadians....doesn't it bother anyone that we can't apply to be on BB3?
Out of all the reality shows this is the one I think I could do (definately couln't do survior or amzing race)
I get annoyed that I can't apply to be on...and even our own lame reality show got cancelled (not that I would move to TO for a year just for that show)
Anyone else?

truly, i hadn't heard that it was going to be picked up again. I saw the last show and watched the free live feeds. They said that Life Network dropped them an couldn't find another network to pick them up.
The last show seemed pretty final for the series, but if you heard differently....
