O, Canada!

In "The Brigade: Race to the Hudson," 10 chiseled adventurers navigate the 750-mile Canadian waterway in a white-knuckle quest for $500,000. No celebrity host, no torch ceremony, no backbiting. It's "Survivor" without the soapy suds.

At first glance, "Gentleman Jack" might seem more at home on PBS than premium cable.

All by myself

Chris Lilley, a one-man comedy troupe, is at it again with "Lunatics," his latest sketch series in which he plays multiple characters. This time out, his personas include an ex-Australian porn star, a South African pet psychic and a 7-foot-3 California college coed, all of which have nothing in common except an unnerving amount of confidence. Tracey Ullman fans will be enthralled.
