The Columnists.com has columns about entertainment, television, music, and screen classics Stuart McLean has been working for the CBC most of his adult life, first as a writer, then as the host of the remarkable "Vinyl Cafe," an irresistible one-hour variety program that ranges back and forth across Canada, visiting towns big and small in all the provinces from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. McLean agreed to give it a try, a 12-minute demo pilot was done and it looked as if it would be an American series, perhaps next year, until it finally was turned down by Les Moonves, then the top program decision-maker at CBS. McLean now has given his blessing to an attempt to turn it into an animated sitcom like "The Simpsons" or "King of the Hill." This way McLean himself would do the narration, but the characters also would have voices of their own. www.thecolumnists.com /miller/miller449.html   (1582 words)
