Point Blank (TV series)

Point Blank is a Canadian television comedy series that aired on The Comedy Network in 2002.[1]

Evolving out of the earlier Double Exposure, the show starred Linda Cullen and Bob Robertson as Diane-Barbara Jane and Steele Drummond, respectively, the anchors of a television tabloid newsmagazine which covered news stories, such as alien abduction, human cloning, styrofoam mining and two-ply toilet paper, that went "beyond the truth and below the standards".[2] Cullen and Robertson were the show's sole constant core cast, while a wide variety of Canadian comedians and actors made appearances as characters or journalists in news reports.[3]

Thirteen episodes of the series were produced and aired.[3]
