Man Alive

Man Alive was a Canadian television series about faith and spirituality. It took its name from a poem by St. Irenaeus, a 2nd-century Bishop of Lyon who wrote: The glory of God is man fully alive, and the life of man is the vision of God. The program, debuted in 1967 on CBC Television, hosted by Roy Bonisteel for more than two decades. Bonisteel retired in 1989, and was replaced by Peter Downie who left in 1993. Arthur Kent succeeded Downie for one season, and then R. H. Thomson hosted until the show was canceled. Man Alive took a diverse non-denominational approach to religious and spiritual matters. The program covered a wide range of topics: nuclear war, UFOs, Holocaust survivors, sexual abuse, Third World development, family relationships, people with disabilities, the Vatican Bank scandal and profiles of religious figures such as Mother Teresa, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama. After several seasons of co-productions with Vision TV and the Life Network, the last episode aired on CBC Television 17 December 2000.

Walter Ego

Walter Ego was a Canadian television sitcom pilot, which aired on CBC Television on January 3, 2005. The show starred Peter Keleghan as cartoonist Walter Davis, whose friends and family often provide fodder for his successful comic strip. The cast also included Diane Flacks, Jackie Burroughs, and Charmion King. It was one of three sitcom pilots aired by the CBC, along with Getting Along Famously and Hatching, Matching and Dispatching, as a viewer response poll. Pilots that poll favourably will be developed into full series. The CBC previously employed this strategy with the shows Rideau Hall and An American in Canada. In the third episode, Keleghan's character is coaxed into an arm wrestling match with American tourist, Brad Plothow. Plothow was an actual tourist who had won a CBC "I'm Famous For A Day " contest, earning him the privilege to appear on the show as himself. As the scene unfolds, Plothow and Keleghan lock arms across a table with a midget referee controlling the action from a step stool. During an early take, Plothow's hand slips and knocks a spectator's chilidog onto Keleghan's shirt, angering Keleghan and prompting him to call Plothow a "momo". While several other takes were shot, Director Raz Shamaldahide decided to keep the chilidog take and rewrite the remainder of the episode because of the scene's spontaneity and humor.
