So, the Canadians have again managed to cook up something even better than bacon and baby seal clubbing. One of those is still on my Bucket List.

jPod chronicles the often shocking lives of Ethan Jarlewski and four of his co-workers at Neotronic Arts as they confront “Chinese gangs, boneheaded bosses, sexual swinging, British royalty and gore-laced video games." The pod was created by a Y2K glitch, which caused workers with surnames beginning with the letter J to be grouped together. The group works in a pod in the basement and were nicknamed jPod by the company. jPod is made up of Ethan, Bree, Cancer Cowboy and John Doe. The newest member of jPod is Katilin Joyce, who appears to have been hired a day or two before the series begins.

It ran for 13 hour long episodes and won several awards and high acclaim before it hit its 4th episode. Then, it's network moved it from wednesday nights to fridays - muppets. After that the ratings fell off, probably competing with plenty of other primetime shows, and the network summarilly cancelled the series to the heartache of all fans involved. The DVD released region-free just last month. Petitions are rampant to get the show revived, else it will end up the way of Firefly.

This show is a winner for any geek and/or nerd out there. Its starts a little slow but gets good quickly.
