Dan For Mayor not far from truth

From Andrea Nemetz of the Chronicle Herald:

  • Mayor Dan’s not so far from latest Parliament
    When Mark Farrell — along with Kevin White and Paul Mather — came up with the character of Dan Phillips, who accidentally winds up as Mayor of Wessex on the CTV comedy series Dan for Mayor, they thought they might be stretching the bounds of credulity. But after the May 2 federal election in which a large crop of very green politicians were elected, the story doesn’t seem as far-fetched, says Halifax native Farrell. Read more.

Dan For Mayor returns

From Amber Dowling of Dan For Mayor:

  • ‘Dan for Mayor’ returns with promising sophomore season
    After waiting in the wings for nearly a year with no debut date in sight, Dan for Mayor finally returns to CTV Sunday night to kick off a stronger and much improved sophomore season. When we last left the folks from Wessex, they had accidentally elected Dan as the new mayor (by default really), Claire was off to Vancouver for an amazing career opportunity, Mike had bought the bar from Fern to spite and fire Dan, and Anita was off to politic herself into a bigger and better job.

Dan for Mayor takes office

From Bill Brioux of the Canadian Press:

  • Rookies take office? ‘Dan For Mayor’ honcho says truth stranger than fiction
    Here’s a nutty idea for a TV show. A slacker dude, with zero political experience, decides on a whim to run for political office. To the shock of his buddies back at the local bar — not to mention the electorate — he wins. No, it’s not a pilot based on the recent NDP federal election wins by a posse of Quebec university students-turned-members of parliament. It’s “Dan for Mayor,” back for a second season — finally — on CTV. The sitcom returns Sunday, as well as June 10 on The Comedy Network. Read more.

Art imitates life in Dan For Mayor

From Bill Brownstein of the Montreal Gazette:

  • For a TV show, Dan for Mayor is politically correct
    An unprepared and unqualified politician takes office in Canada and finds himself in way over his head. No, this is not the tale of any one of a number of newly elected NDP members of Parliament from Quebec. Rather, this is the plot line to Season 2 of Dan for Mayor, which debuts Sunday at 7:30 p.m. on CTV. Read more.
