Lots of headlines, rumors, and rage were generated when ABC cancelled the reboot of Roseanne Barr’s classic sitcom, which had generated high ratings for the network. The controversial star – a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, which was evident in the politically-charged show – had sent racist material out on social media. ABC ultimately yanked Barr’s new program from the air. Forgotten amidst all of this is that former Roseanne TV writer and Irish-American show biz veteran Tim Doyle had landed a coveted spot on ABC’s fall schedule with his new sitcom
The Kids Are Alright, about a big Irish-Catholic family in the 1970s. Doyle’s show was supposed to follow Barr’s, and was expected to maintain a big chunk of the lead-in audience.
NANAIMO, B.C. In the past 20 years, Fire Chief Tim Doyle of Nanaimo Fire Rescue can’t recall ever being involved in a call to assist a stranded sea lion. “I don t know if we have ever done a rescue like this,” Doyle told CTV News Vancouver Island. “We’ve responded to horses stuck in mud, cats and dog rescues, but nothing like this.” Around 7:45 p.m. Thursday, crews responded to Invermere Beach and assisted a marine rescue group in lifting a 350-kilogram male sea lion into a carrier, then onto a van for transport. The Vancouver-based Marine Mammal Rescue Centre got a call about the stranded animal late Thursday morning. When they arrived in the afternoon, they could tell the male sea lion was not in great condition.
