  13. 1. THE HOUSE:
  14.  
  15. This week on The House, the week in national politics...a new report
  16. indicates that Canada has slipped to 11th place in the world in terms of
  17. the proportion of our national income that send abroad in foreign aid. But
  18. private citizens in Canada are giving even more to help underdeveloped
  19. countries. Why the growing gap? Also, Jason Moscovitz talks with
  20. Jean-Pierre Kingsley, Canada's Chief Electoral Officer, about the report he
  21. issued this week. Kingsley believes there is room for substantial
  22. improvement in the way tabs are kept on fund-raising by local riding
  23. associations, and in funding and campaign spending by groups other than
  24. political parties. Reporter David McKie has a followup on the problem on
  25. sexual harassment in the civil service, and reporter Jennifer Fry has an
  26. update on the Canada Information Office: is the year-old agency a 20-

  52. that might help? Also...the trouble with the stethoscope: some doctors have

  407. 19. JUST FOR LAUGHS 15TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL:
  408.  
  409. Who else but perennial favorite Mike MacDonald could host the Best of Just
  410. For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special? MacDonald, a true Canadian comedy
  411. staple with a dry, cynical wit, knows the real story behind all the hype.
  412. He reveals the real truth behind the great acts that have graced the stage
  413. and TV screen over the years. For example, Rowan Atkinson used the Just For
  414. Laughs stage to launch his Mr. Bean character. His manager took a tape of
  415. his first performance and used it to sell the Mr. Bean concept, and the
  416. rest is history. That performance is seen here for the first time. Just For
  417. Laughs has played host to all the stars, and at every stage of their
  418. careers -- before they were stars, while they were stars, and long after
  419. they were stars. See performances by Paul Reiser, Brett Butler, a rare
  420. stage appearance from Jim Carrey, Rowan Atkinson, Lily Tomlin, Adam
  421. Sandler, Seinfeld's Michael Richards and Jon Stewart and many more. That's
  422. the Just For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special, Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. on
  423. CBC Television.

  425. 20. THE WORST OF JUST FOR LAUGHS:
  426.  
  427. Right after the Just For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special on CBC Television
  428. Sunday night, you can see the other side of the coin. The Worst of Just For
  429. Laughs features comedy performances that live in memory for reasons other
  430. than brilliance. This half-hour special of flubs, bloopers and ideas that
  431. looked good on paper (but nowhere else) will have you on the floor laughing
  432. - in sympathy, horror, whatever. It makes a dandy reality check after The
  433. 15th Anniversary Special that precedes it. Andy Nulman, whose mission as
  434. C.E.O. of Just For Laughs is to spread laughter and good cheer, has defied
  435. his mission by hosting this special, which features stuff "that's probably
  436. best left forgotten, but we're gonna show it anyway." Don't miss The Worst
  437. of Just For Laughs, Sunday night at 9:30 on CBC Television.

  439. 21. LIFE & TIMES:
  440.  
  441. He is likely the wealthiest and certainly one of the most popular artists
  442. in Canada, but Robert Bateman's work has been ignored by most of our
  443. country's major galleries. From his beautiful retreat on the shores of
  444. British Columbia's Salt Spring Island, Bateman talks about his Life & Times
  445. this Sunday night on CBC Television. Bateman's 1977 decision to enter the
  446. reproduction market became a huge controversy that has colored his
  447. reputation as an artist. He wanted to make his work accessible to more
  448. people, so he personally signs from 950 to 12,000 copies of each of his
  449. paintings. Today, Bateman prints are sold all over the world - in 500 shops
  450. in Canada alone. Critics say these prints are just overpriced posters that
  451. cheapen the legitimate art market and that they have barred Bateman from
  452. showings in most of the major art galleries of the country. Get to know
  453. this highly popular artist as Life & Times profiles Robert Bateman, Sunday
  454. night at 10:00 p.m. on CBC Television.

  458. 22. THE PASSIONATE EYE:
  459.  
  460. This week on The Passionate Eye, a re-broadcast of the fascinating
  461. documentary "Rock Wives." The media often portray the life of a rock star's
  462. partner as one long round of shopping, parties and photo opportunities.
  463. "Rock Wives" explores the less-than-glamorous truth about that life. The
  464. documentary features interviews with Shirley Watts, wife of Rolling Stone
  465. drummer Charlie Watts; Angie Bowie, former wife and manager of rock
  466. superstar David Bowie and Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy Osbourne for 14
  467. years, mother to their three children and mastermind of his career. Don't
  468. miss "Rock Wives," on The Passionate Eye, Sunday night at 9:00 p.m.
