What is the source for the information about the 2005 - 2006 season schedule? --Zippanova 06:48, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] It's sad.
I think it's terrible that the show is cancelled. I thought it was some of the best programming I'd ever seen. The dismal ratings the CBC now gets is their just dessert. ZeD was really something special--they shouldn't have given it up. I hold the same opinion for that fantastic webzine "CBC Radio 3" that they scrapped last year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.83.253.248 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with you 100% on ZeD, it was my favourite show. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 21:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I really enjoyed the show too. If they brought back ZeD, I'd get cable television again. -EarthFurst 00:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- ZeD was awesome. I first caught it with a pilot episode with Bif Naked. The CBC had a pilot project: CBC On Demand which all cable providers [Shaw, Rogers] showed various CBC made/licensed content for *free*. Most were short films that aired on ZeD like the seminal "Evelyn: The Cutest Little Dead Girl." But they also had the rights for the "Broken Saints" episodes that was not aired on the actual show. Of course CBC on Demand is also scrapped, so you Should this info be added to the ZeD entry? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.20.55.22 (talk) 04:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Feedback
Hi. I came here from the peer review link. Here's some friendly feedback (not from a peer but from someone who never saw the show and is just starting out editing on Wikipedia).
- More big picture earlier on. In the lead, you name the hosts who are unfamiliar to readers who don't watch CBC (most of us). It would be stronger if you move those details out of the lead and explain more about the show's place in bridging the conventional TV era and the open-source, interactive era.
- If an encyclopedia article is about the show's impact on society, then the Reception section should be higher up in the order. What does its style and controversies and followers say about it?
- My eye got mired down in the Early Format. Too many topics covered and things that should be lists. Much of it seems like housekeeping. Who guest-hosted and what aired on Tuesdays can be moved further down in priority. And you have "early format" and "late history" so where's the middle part?
Hope you don't mind the feedback, Canuckle 01:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- p.s. How can something be "revived" in 2006, if it hasn't been dead? I think some timeline is missing. Canuckle 02:17, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
