5 shows worth watching tonight: Sept. 18
COMEDY: Rick Mercer Report. CBC, 8 p.m. Thank goodness for small miracles. Back tonight for its 10 th season, Rick Mercer’s weekly road trip series is, at last check, the only homegrown program taking Canadian viewers to parts of the country they’ve never seen before. The concept seems to be working since the show regularly pulls in a viewership of more than a million viewers a week. Case in point: Tonight’s season-opener takes Rick to Sylvan Lake, Alta., where Mercer tries the little-known sport of flyboarding – sort of a merge between hang-gliding and flying a jetpack. In the same show, he tours Vancouver’s Science World, where he takes part in an experiment that requires him to lie on a bed of nails with a concrete block on his chest. You’re a brave soul, Mr. Mercer.
