Fat chance: It’s unclear when we’ll see more episodes of Less Than Kind, the CityTV tragicomedy about an overweight, geekish 15-year-old and his clan of driving-school-running, tax-evading, pyromaniac Winnipeg Jews that’s like a mash-up of Freaks & Geeks and Trailer Park Boys as penned by Mordecai Richler. The good news is, you can watch all 13 (l’chaim!) first-season episodes for free on the Web, commercial-free mind you, courtesy of CityTV. Look for cameo appearances by Kids in the Hall alums amidst all the bleeped swearing and jizz jokes at citytv.com/micro/lessthankind/.
Budge: The recession may be over, but that doesn’t make you rich—but you still need entertainment. That’s where Dollar Store Toy Box comes in. It’s a blog that reviews the crappy toys from the dollar store, like malformed LEGO knock-offs with non-turning wheels and terrifyingly goofy Viking robots. It also covers toy recalls and the cash settlements that toy companies have to pay out when it’s revealed that their Happy Fun Ball actually causes spontaneous toddler combustion at dollarstoretoybox.com.
