Good Morning World (2007)
The Greatest Fake Morning Show of All Time
The first time I saw Good Morning World, I thought it was a TV show about a bad morning show, and it some point the show-within-a-show would end and the proper show would begin. But the episode ended without the hosts breaking out of their goofy characters. I could not believe what I had seen, because it was exactly the type of humour I enjoy.
Show creators Peter Oldring and Pat Kelly, the creative minds behind CBC's This Is That, have gotten a reputation for fooling people with their spoof news reports, and this show is more of that. it seems like a lot of the reviews here are from people who don't get that the show is satire and not meant to be taken seriously.
Oldring and Kelly play hosts Andy Peppers and Alister Coulter, parodies of the typical smiling, glad-handing morning television host, who manage to talk for a half hour without really saying anything at all. They give hilariously misinformed or misguided advice, do-it-yourself tutorials and fitness tips with all of the sincerity, banter and fluff one finds on a real morning show. All of the dialogue is improvised, and the reaction shots as they come back from each segment are priceless.
If you enjoy the type of humour found in shows like Check It Out! With Steve Brule, you'll love Good Morning World, but it's awfully hard to find more than just a few clips online these days. Kelly and Oldring have teased that the show may return in some form (they once revealed they still own the domain goodmorningworld.com), but until then I'm leaving this review and hoping it finds its way onto DVD or something.
