Chris Bolton was kind enough to send me the season 3 opener for his irrepressible comic soap RENT-A-GOALIE. Bar owner Cake, who runs a service renting out goalies to local teams, hasn't yet told the scrappy 18-year-old Dallas that he's her bio-dad. Meanwhile her mother has set in motion a plot to move the Edmonton Oilers to (horrors) Lubbock, Texas, which may be why the mysterious hockey cabal known only as "Upstairs" arranged for her death in a helicopter crash ... if that is indeed what happened.
RENT-A-GOALIE is sort of Canada's half-hour answer to UGLY BETTY. It's a comic telenovela, with outrageous characters, arcane schemes, slapstick and a hero that's somewhere between hapless and feisty.
The show airs Mondays at 9:30 on Showcase, beginning October 20. Check it out!
