Those of you lucky enough to be able to tune into the Canadian Broadcast Corporation should set your VCRs for tonight's episode of Life and Times. The CBC series of Canadian biographies will be airing The Making of Ivan Reitman, which outlines the GB director's life - from his families escape from Communist Czechoslovakia to his current Hollywood success.

The show will feature not only friends and family, but interviews with people Reitman has worked with, including Eugene Levy
and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The show airs tonight at 7PM (7:30 in Nfld. - I've always wanted to say that).

Clips provided at the Life and Times website (RealVideo).

I don't typically like bumping topics, but in this case I think it warrants the exception.

The show is starting any second. Tune in if you can.

I wish I had CBC this sounds interesting.

After going through every channel we have(about 400) 3 times, I've come to the conclusion that I don't hav ethis channel…..poor me….

I'm right near the Canadian border, so I saw it. Very interesting. I wish I taped it. Is there a possibility they'll repeat it?

It was pretty cool.
They spent a decent amount of time on a number of his movies, including Ghostbusters - which featured some great behind the scenes pictures and a clip of Rick Moranis McKenzie-ing it up during shooting on the rooftop set.

I don't know if they'll rerun it. It's a possiblity, but the CBC doesn't do a lot of rerunning.

damn this looks good. wish i could've seen it. anyone going to go the extra mile and capture it in real video for all of us to enjoy??
