Three sitcoms with promise

2 Comments

From Warren Clements of the Globe and Mail:

  • Three home-grown sitcoms with promise
    All three sitcoms look great and have talented ensembles, which bodes well for future home-grown scripted comedies. Among the better-known names, Nancy Robertson (Millie) and Brent Butt (the life coach) of Hiccups come fresh from Butt’s successful Corner Gas, as does Fred Ewanuick (Dan) of Dan for Mayor. Peter Keleghan, who cocked an eyebrow memorably in The Newsroom and Made in Canada, co-stars as the boy’s caustic, uptight father in 18 to Life, the foil to his laidback neighbours, who are the girl’s parents.

From Kate Taylor of the Globe and Mail:

  • Canadian TV networks and the search for your funny bone
    “While the public broadcaster satirizes Canada’s international inferiority complex this winter, CTV will be launching a second season for two idiosyncratic sitcoms featuring Corner Gas alumni: Fred Ewanuik’s Dan for Mayor, about a bartender who runs for office; and Brent Butt’s Hiccups, in which the comedian plays therapist to Nancy Robertson’s Millie, a children’s author with anger-management issues.” Read more.

Dan For Mayor films in Old Fort Erie

From John Law:

  • Dan For Mayor invades Old Fort Erie
    “The new mayor of Wessex, Ontario has arrived to save the Old Fort. First from a strike. Then from demolition. All in a day’s work for Dan Phillips, the slacker centrepiece of the CTV comedy Dan For Mayor, which has set up shop at Old Fort Erie this week. Cast and crew of the show were busy filming exterior shots Thursday, with plans to go indoors Friday.” Read more.
