Rick Mercer's back!

Tonight, the Rick Mercer Report starts its new season on CBC - one of the few TV shows that I make a point of watching (along with 24 and The Amazing Race - 24 doesn't start until January, and the family edition of the Amazing Race isn't as good as the usual ones IMO).

Who else could get Anne Murray, Susan Aglukark, Jann Arden, Evan Solomon (CBC Sunday Report), Steven and Ed from BNL and Gord Sinclair from the Hip (among others) to all appear in a spoof ad for the fake CBC documentary "9 Months in April" (about Joe Clarke's time as Prime Minister)???

So, I hope with the move to Tuesdays (the show used to be called "Monday Report" for obvious reasons) it will remain successful and be around for a while.
