Zed - CBC Television

Evidently this television show was cancelled after the fourth season. The CBC, bless them, have left the website up. You can watch videos by clicking on a link and browsing through the selections. There is also music and still content. You can search for specific content or browse through episodes (the 'Real' and 'Candid' buttons).

[June 27/07 - The Zed site is supposed to be online. I received an email on June 25 that said it "will remain online for the foreseeable future", but the URL provided was incorrect and the link above isn't working. It may be just temporarily unavailable. In the meantime, CBC has a new program along similar lines, due to begin on July 29. There are already videos there to be seen and voted on. Check out Exposure until Zed reappears, which it seems to have done by July 4.]

What was great about the show is that most, if not all, of the content was viewer-created and submitted. I guess in a way Zed has been superceded by YouTube but this show, and the website, was an original CBC concept at the time.
