What is wrong with canadLLan. television; 'that tt cannot ptg- duce a half*hour musjcal:sw without it becoming an amat. eurish flop?: With the exception of Tommy Hunter and DOn Met* ser, both basically country-' Music shows, and 'Pig 'n" Whistle' which sounds mo re European than Canadian, our television' Shows are very often boring and unentertaining. CTV thought they would make a hit with Catherine Mc* Kinnon and her " River Inn " (Wednesdays 1h.30), but it lacks originality and excite- ment. Before you even turn on the set, you know what will happen. Apparently, someone thinks this poor girl can't read or leairn lines; about all she "says is 'please welcome: One of 'River Inn's' mistakes from. e beginning was Catherine's musical backers, the B r i an Browne Trio, who jazzed up every arrangement she sang. Her theme 'Nova Scotia Song', never sounded worse. They now have a big orchestra backing her, but if they don't bring life * to the show, they can say fare- well to the entire she -bang. Catherine sings as well as ever but I still can't help wondering if she would have felt more at home in folk mus>ic,:xhich is ' the type of show "River Inn" should have been in the first place. Even the name. implies folk music. 0--0--0 An even more noticeable losing battle is being fought by the other network, CBC, with its half-hour "Comedy Cafe" on Saturday nights after hockey: As of the 15th, that show has 'bit the dust' and another series moved into the tune slot. 'Cafe' had its funny moments`, : but no doubt leading to its downfall were its F r en c h •- Canadian, Montreal -Toronto, and local Chicoutimi jokes that were of. no interest to other Canadians. Its cast was Joan Stuart, Dave • Broadfoot, Ted Zeigler, Barrie Baldaro and George Carron. Bir Yount Ie •• • Joa?B Std t'' as developed jnw ar good comedy performer; Pave Broadfoot, long a performer with the 'S,pxi . g Thaw' annual torte, it 'old-hat"and net A funny as he used to be; and • George Carton can go. back to Chicoutimi any time he likes. The real talent in the group is Ted Zeigler, the tall, dark fellow with the face like a rub- ber mask; his performances were always entertaining. The replacement.for the show, is called "Mallets and Brass"iand is a musical. show starring Peter Appleyard, vi- braphonist, and Guido Basso, - trumpeter, who just left the time slot (he was leader of Al- ex Barris' band). Their show, win also feature special guests. They will likely last until the summer season begins, and don't laugh if Juliette is back next fall!
