If you saw the running of "Twitch City" on Bravo (in the U.S., back when Bravo showed culture) a few years back, you will be thrilled to find out the show is available on DVD.
For those who don't know about this show, Don McKellar created, wrote, and starred in this look about a man who don't leave his apartment, watches a lot of TV, and thrives under the circumstances. My description doesn't show how great this show was; it's a look at television, survival. It's delightful, well-written and the acting is marvelous. It's a nice way to get a taste of Canadian TV. If you do get the set, look for an unusual (even for her) performance by Jennifer Jason Leigh.
It was my first introduction to Molly Parker and certainly not my last.
McKellar also did a great movie called "Last Night," starring famous Canadian actress Sandra Oh of "Grey's Anatomy."
