Ugh only if the cast was better... I dunno maybe Michael Cera or Jesse Eisenberg as Ethan... Ken Jeong as Kam Fong and Tony Hale for John Doe? MAKE IT AGAIN, someone :(
The cast was great and there were some good moments. I LOVE Coupland, but let's be honest here: this show was a disaster. It was unfocused, oversaturated with plot, and lacking subtlety in every sense. This "save jPod" business is crazy.
All Families are Psychotic as a film? That's something I could get behind.
i want to see Jpod so bad since the book was great. its really hard to find a torrent for them that works and the dvd was discontinued. i cant EVER catch a break.

Jpod is a great book. this looks so monumentally bad that i actually feel physically sick, which i must say hardly ever happens to me which means this must be a especially rubbish attempt to make a series based around an extraordinary masterpiece. poop
i was always curious about this, but i don't think i could watch it because it's all underground and dark. haha. that would start to make me feel like i was going crazy...
This looks awful. Every set looks like a reject from 24. Every actor looks like they were hired by accident. I need watch it properly before I can completely condemn it but the best case scenario is that this is the worst advert in the history of crap.
I'm so weirded out that this exists. jPod is my favorite Coupland book but I never thought it was all that popular. Cowboy is different than I imagined, but the tv version of him seems like the most fun to watch out of all the characters.
I'm glad they got that actor to play the dad, too. The rest of what I'm seeing: a bit meh. I'll need to track down the dvd's to judge it, though.
So does Coupland make his cameo at the end of the season or do they not make it all the way through the book?
The book is so awesome. I borrowed it from a friend a while ago but couldn't get enough of it and bought it myself. It's the best stuff I have on my bookshelf.
I like the book soooo much.. and I can't wait more longer to watch the Tv serie. It sucks no one thought about translating this novel into french. Anyway.. english is better than nothing! :-)
I just saw the season finale. That Bebette is psychotic! Man, this is like the best written comedy ever! What a world we live in. Then again, Bush got re-elected...
Are you kidding? That Babette crap was so contrived. It was like deus ex machina on acid, but not in a good way. A "rogue" AI? Give me a break, this is not science fiction.
From Miranda, via Facebook: The MOST EFFECTIVE thing an individual can do is WRITE A LETTER. Yes, I said "letter". Remember those? A letter on paper in an envelope with a stamp is extremely powerful. Even the people at the CBC told me that. * Write them at: AUDIENCE RELATION CBC TELEVISION BOX 500, STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO M5W 1E6
it's not cancelled. God. All the news said was that they weren't going to do a second season of it. They'll finish it off and cover the whole book, I think.
It's not being renewed.... sounds the same as being cancelled to me. The point is that it has a large fan base that is very disappointed to lose a very unique, Canadian program.
What a fantastic comedy. It really ticks me off to see the cancellation of a good Canadian program. So many crummy shows make several years on tv, yet intelligent comedy like this is axed after a few short months.
Maybe if CBC hadn't switched the timeslot to the dreaded Friday night, without any warning, this show would have more viewers than in does. Even our Shaw TV/HD program guide didn't update the change for a MONTH. We kept missing it, despite our efforts.
When I heard of this show it was on google news and they said CBC is cancelling a bunch of shows. And I googled JPOD and it seems like an awesome show. :(

But all in all fantastic book. Hope this series is as good.
hi need help, im a german and i like your canadian shows like the border and jpod and MVP and i want to watch it online, but even i got the hotspot shield software which should create an anonymous ip adress i still can't watch the shows on the cbc site, can u help me??
I tried watching it, but it doesn't seem to work. I know ABC won't let you watch online episodes if you're not in America, so maybe you can't watch CBC stuff online if you're not from Canada...?

I was so pumped to find out that it was going to has its time as a series..
I kept missing it, due to the terrible timeslot..
and now its canceled.
Why can shit like corner gas, and pointless comedys make the air, but when an amazing man with a brilliant novel arises, its canceled.
