From Susan Gittins of Vancouver is Awesome (TV, eh? says: yes it is!):

  • #YVRShoots – Teen sitcom Mr. Young live in Burnaby
    Made-in-Vancouver Mr. Young is a situation comedy about child prodigy Adam Young (Brendan Meyer) returning to his high school at the age of 14 to teach science to his best friend Derby (Gig Morton), his crush Echo (Matreya Fedor) and the dim-witted school bully Slab (Kurt Ostlund).

Seven episodes aired on Saturday alone. Read more.
