This wasn't a great talk show and Alan Thicke was pretty awkward. In a way this would kind of be like Canada's version of The Chevy Chase Show except in Canada there is at least the excuse of no money to fall back on. Alan Thicke is kind of smarmy and not great at doing witty banter, in the moment comedy, or entertaining interviews with people, but he was a likable guy who deserved a better show than this.
