The peoples of Abaza TV wish to wish Canadians a happy Canada day, eh, and pay tribute to Canada's greatest actor John Candy.

4:00am
Movie: "Tunnel Vision" (1976)
Phil Proctor, Howard Hesseman, Ron Silver, John Candy
This 1976 film tries to predict what American television will be like in the year 1985. Tunnelvision is America's first "uncensored and free" television network. Although wildly popular, it is also blamed for increased crime and unemployment. Christian A. Broder, president and founder of Tunnelvision, is called to defend his network in front of a Senate sub-committee. The sub-committee decides to view excerpts from a "typical" day of Tunnelvision broadcasting. What follows is a series of brief skits lampooning television, including cop shows, news broadcasts, situation comedies, and (of course) commercials.
