On screens Mr D's second episode tonight on CBC

Halifax-shot comedy gets big props

Posted by Carsten Knox on Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 5:11 PM

We're hearing a lot of positive buzz about Mr D, the CBC sitcom created by comedian Gerry Dee. The first episode---it aired last Monday at 8pm, the second is tonight---earned 1.23 million viewers on its premiere. Great news for the show, which was shot in Halifax in 2011. The show is based on Dee's experiences as a public school teacher---he's a St.FX Education grad---before he became a full time comedy performer.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
