d_rawk Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Pretty sure I'm the only person in the world wondering about such a thing.Actually, just checked his site and it says "Currently Mike is in development of a game show for divorced people called "Alimoney" and signed a co-production deal for the show with Just for Laughs in conjunction with Jack Ruby Productions."That doesn't sound very promising. Sorry dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 He was always FAILYeah, I've never liked his stuff. I remember thinking about 'Open Mike' that the way that he interacted with his audience was more uncomfortable than entertaining. Bordering on the abusive in fact. I wasn't sure why I'd started thinking about him, but then realized it was because I'd watched a Trailer Park Boys rerun (Ricky: "What the fuck? Julian, it must be the fumes. I'm hallucinating, man! Looks like Bubbles has got wings on his back and he's strangling Mike Bullard!")I was sorta expecting that maybe there had been a scandal or something that explained how he went from being everywhere to not being visible at all.You know who could probably pull off a Canadian talk show?

Freak By Night Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I liked his show. Mind you back then I watched TV through "rabbit ears" and I only got 5 channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I just heard Bullard on The Debaters on CBC. He was frankly embarrassing, wholly unprepared and with little understanding of the concept of the show.He always thought of himself as a good improvisor. As an ex-cop it makes sense that he has little self-awareness and has a pretty high opinion of his abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ha...I thought about him the other day as we drove by Gretzky's.One of my buddies yelled "Where's Bullard?" and all we got was blank stares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 If I saw those beady eyes lookin' up at me, they'd burn their way through my conscience for eternity.I always thought he blew his way to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 He was terrible. The fact that his show lasted as long as it did is a testament to the poor quality of Canadian programming at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomouse Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 he seemed like a nice enough guy who you couldnt help but kinda root for, but i never got what anyone saw in him. This makes me think he was the answer in the search for a definitive/representative Canadian entertainer. Then when they found him, no one was impressed...typical. Call it, "Canadian Dying Star Search" Starts off a little dim then fizzles out altogether.g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chameleon Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Everyone realized he was unfunny despite what Canadian content on TV wanted and he was banished to Oakville where he lost weigh with DR. Bernstien.God that guy was not funny in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Main thing I remember about him is seeing Guided By Voices shortly after they appeared on his show and Robert Pollard called him a fat fucking prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
