He’s Mr. Cheeley in Mr. D, J-Roc in Trailer Park Boys, Chester in Call Me Fitz, and to some of us he’ll also always be that kid Jonathan from Street Cents. Â You could win a 15-minute chat with the guy Mike Clattenburg called always “the funniest guy in the room.”
All proceeds from the TV, eh? charity auction go to Kids Help Phone –Â a free, anonymous and confidential phone and on-line professional counselling service for youth.
One of the amazing items up for bid in the 3rd TV, eh? Charity Auction for Kids Help Phone is courtesy Denis McGrath for all you writers out there — professional notes on one of your scripts. As Denis says:
Professionals will tell you that writing is rewriting. And successful pilot scripts that get noticed get that way thanks to multiple rounds of feedback and dramaturgy by smart, professional readers. You’re bidding on a chance to to have a script (one half-hour or one one-hour) read and professionally noted by a senior, award-winning television writer, whose credits include X Company, The Border, Less Than Kind, Continuum, Bitten, and Stargate: Universe. Your written notes will include analysis of structure, character, plot & story progression, originality, clarity and thoughts on saleability potential. Your reader has been an Executive Producer in Residence at the Canadian Film Centre, and taught writing at Ryerson University for more than 10 years.
Availability: November 2015, script to be delivered in PDF form. Notes will be delivered in writing, with an option for in-script feedback, depending on program used.

Why are we doing this? On August 5, 2014, this site came back from the dead thanks to contributions to our Indiegogo campaign. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of TV, eh?‘s rebirth and pay it forward, we’re reviving our charity auction, with all proceeds to Kids Help Phone — a free, anonymous and confidential phone and on-line professional counselling service for youth. If you’d like to contribute but don’t want to bid, please go directly to their website to make a donation — and tell them TV, eh? sent you. (Note tax receipts are not available for auction bids.)
This auction uses simple bidding and ends August 28, 2015 at 5 pm PT. Payment will be due by end of day September 1, 2015 and shipping costs will be added to physical items as required. International bidders, please note that any additional taxes and duties charged by customs will be your responsibility.
Please email Diane with any issues or questions … and happy bidding.
Almost a year ago, this site came back from the dead thanks to the injection of another partner in Greg David and the generosity of our Indiegogo contributors. To celebrate the first birthday of TV, eh? 2.0 on August 5 — and pay some of that generosity forward — we’re reviving our charity auction. 100% of the proceeds will go to Kids Help Phone, a free, anonymous and confidential phone and on-line professional counselling service for youth. The previous auctions raised $10,000 for them.
In advance of the auction launch, we are asking for contributions to the cause — particularly TV-related swag or experiences, but anything that might grab the interest of our readers. So far we have some amazing items that will go up for bid: a set visit and walk-on role, one-on-one career advice from a senior writer, memorabilia from various shows, DVDs, books, magazine subscriptions, and more.
If you or your organization have items or experiences you can contribute, please contact us. And look for the auction to go live on August 5.
