    Today @ 9:30 PM ET on The Hub

    I believe this is the best series on The Hub. I love it. Hopefully this episode is just as good as the others.

    I think this may have been the weakest episode yet. It seemed too slow paced, although there were a few really funny jokes. I'm not sure when the next new episode will be, but I hope they order a second season ASAP.

    Was I the only one who noticed a traced Scott Pilgrim on a poster in the background in the beginning of the episode? The Scott Pilgrim franchise is also from Canada :/

    I'll have to look for that in the repeat tomorrow but I liked the episode it had some funny moments it does seem odd that they didn't show a preview for next weeks though.

    Isn't an episode next week. Repeat of "New Mexico". I think it could be a while until we get the next episode.

    The Haunting Hour took a break this past week, so in theory it could be back the week after, as The Haunting Hour returned this Saturday.

    My DVR guide says that Agent Cody Banks 2 is gonna be on in two weeks but the midnight and Sunday showings are still gonna be on. Just finished the repeat and yeah there is a Scott pilgrim poster in the window of the comic shop.

    This episode was mediocre compared to all of the others this time around, but I did get a few decent laughs out of it all the same.

    That said, did anyone else notice the first comic Dan was looking at? It looked like an homage to Johnny Bravo and titled 'Johnny gets Revenge' or something similar.

    Is there any way someone could get a screen cap of that?

    Actually I happened to watch this again and freeze on the image, and I was wrong as it says 'Population Control Johnny' still not sure whether the resemblance with JB is intentional or not. Rather interesting all the same.

    Something seemed off to me about this episode, maybe the pacing like Huntsman said. Still a very enjoyable (and funny) episode from a really great show. The Hub defiantly needs to renew this one.

    Right now, the next new episode will be “Traffic” on Saturday, February 26 at 8pm ET (the show’s new timeslot before The Haunting Hour).

    I think it's worth noting that Chris is voiced by well known Canadian comedian Dave Foley (did anyone else notice any other Kids in the Hall cast member voices because if they didn't have any it was a huge missed opportunity).

    At this point you have to expect Dan is actually some kind of reality warper.
    "Burning Man"? I think you mean "Burning Urethra" -- that place is a massive colony of venereal diseases being nurtured by their human servants. -zombie

    David Kaye who got his voice acting career started in Canada was also among the cast in this episode. Maybe some of the other VAs were Canadian's as well but I don't really know.

    I could have sworn the French leader was voiced by John K., he sounded so much like Ren to me for some reason but he wasn't listed in the credits so maybe not.

    The jokes and pacing were considerably weaker in this one but it had it's moments.

    Seriously, guys, y'all's crazy. This was the best episode of the series so far.

    It had the most "weirdness" of any of the stories, it was just chock full of crazy randomness and unexpected twists.

    I loved it.

    Pure gold.

    Dan needs to take on more geographic places, since "New Mexico" and "Canada" were the best of the series!

    Elise was barely in this one, so right away my enthusiasm was cut in half (Elise is my favorite character on the show, and shows with little no female character involvement generally don't hold my interest for very long), and while it was a nice little synergy to have Canadian actors and voice actors (e.g. Dave Foley and David Kaye, possibly others) involved in a plot actually revolving around their native land with good gags sprinkled throughout, the pacing felt a little slow for me.
