Television: Can of Worms Review

I’m going to call it – Zapruder’s Other Films is the greatest production company name of all time.

It’s also got a pretty good track record. Here are some of the shows produced by Zapruder’s Other Films.

CNNNN (Gold)

The Gruen Transfer/Gruen Nation (Platinum)

Enough Rope (Brilliant, often watercooler level brilliant)

Hungry Beast (Useful in places, misguided in others)

30 Seconds (Reasonable)

David Tench Tonight (Okay, so they’re not infallible.)

Where does Can of Worms (Monday, 8:30pm – Channel Ten) fit on this scale? At this stage, sadly, it sits closer to David Tench than Enough Rope. Though you can see Zapruder’s fingerprints all over it, Can of Worms has made some pretty severe missteps in production – missteps that need righting before the ship has any chance to sail.
