From a media release:

Less Than Kind
RETURNS Monday, March 9 at 9pm ET/PT (8pm CT, 10pm MT)
For 15-year-old Sheldon Blecher (Jesse Camacho), life sucks. He’s overweight, with a self-destructive driving-instructor father (Maury Chaykin), a pyromaniac mother (Wendel Meldrum), and a failed-actor brother (Benjamin Arthur) who won’t get out of Sheldon’s room. The family business, Blecher’s Driving School, is on its way down the toilet and his family lives in Winnipeg! As Sheldon struggles to escape his family, and his family struggles to keep the business running, cars crash, hearts break, blood pressure boils, and corned beef is eaten.

Less Than Kind, Rick Mercer Report, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Trailer Park Boys

In the news: Canadian comedy going strong

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Plenty of promise in new Canadian TV comedies
    “I mean, how do you replace a Trailer Park Boys? In fact, there is Showcase’s thrice Gemini-nominated Cock’d Guns, a similarly deadpan rock twist on the same mockumentary style. On the other hand, if you related more to Trailer’s taboo-toppling vulgarity, you need tune no further than the same cable channel’s new and resolutely rude Testees, which has thus far made the Boys look more like altar boys.” Read more.

Less Than Kind, Little Mosque on the Prairie

In the news: Prairie humour

From Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press:

  • Prairie programs shed lighthearted humour on Canada’s heartland
    “It could be all that wheat. Or maybe the flatness of the land garners more giggles. Whatever it is, Prairie humour is big these days with Canadian TV flush with sitcoms set in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Leading the pack are comic favourites Corner Gas and Little Mosque, but this year those established programs are joined by Winnipeg-based shows Less Than Kind, on Citytv, and House Party, on the Comedy Network.” Read more.

Less Than Kind, Ratings

In the news: Less Than Kind ratings

From Marise Strauss of Media in Canada:

  • Weak start for Less Than Kind
    “It was a painful start to the season for a Canuck comedy that already received its second-season order a week prior to its debut on Rogers’ Citytv. Winnipeg-set sitcom Less Than Kind averaged just 47,000 viewers (2+) for its premiere episode on Oct. 13, airing on Citytv stations in Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Edmonton.” Read more.
