Trivia:

Wanda's (Nancy Robertson) son Tanner is mentioned but never seen. In fact in episode 1.4 "Oh Baby!" that featured Brent attempting to babysit the boy, things were often shown from Tanner's point of view, and he never spoke.

Goofs:

Boom mic visible: In "Grad 68", when Lacey walks in during the meeting that some of the townspeople are having with Brent about the bathrooms, the mic is visible right above Lacey just before she tells Brent to "do whatever he wants" about the bathrooms.

Oscar Leroy: I'm a senior!

Good show, eh?

I admit that I didn't set out to watch this show, it was on before "American Idol" one night. But I was converted into a fan with one episode.

I really like the quirky humour and the way that the characters interact with each other. And how the characters stay true to themselves.

I'd never heard of Brent Butt, or anyone else in this show, before. Doesn't matter. They make a good ensemble.

So Canadians are capable of producing a good TV show themselves! You don't have to be from the prairies to understand the flavour of small town Canada.
