Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

This TV comedy about the trials and inner workings of a Canadian media company was broadcast on the CBC for five seasons, twice winning Genie awards for Best Comedy Series. Like Seinfeld, it was very inventive and funny for the way it dispensed with contrived sitcom plots in favor of character-driven comedy. Along with Trailer Park Boys, it represents one of the funniest and most successful home-grown Canadian TV shows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the Simpsons Mar 14 2003
By Steven D. Bryan
I eagerly have watched the episodes of this series when I can find where the local PBS affiliate has found to hide them. In the US the series is identified as "The Industry". I wanted to offer another review because I suspect if someone were to expect something like the Simpsons he might be confused or disappointed. If analogy is desired I would compare it with "Yes Minister" which offered an insider's comic view of another part of society (the interaction of elected officials with civil servants in the UK). Although willing to use slapstick humor I would suggest it provides more subtle humor in most cases. The actor who portrays the boss is just perfect. In this series it is TV production but he could be from any industry.

I was particularly pleased to see that there are now no fewer than five seasons in existence. I hope everyone who is interested buys this first season to encourage the producers to continue making them available.

Great comedy! Too bad the other seasons aren't available. I have seen other seasons on VHS and the episodes after season one seem even more funny and polished to me. Read more

Smartest Canadian TV series there has ever been. Still waiting for the re-release of Sesaon 1 plus the rest of the seasons. Please!?

One of the well done character driven comedies out there, this show offers a well-balanced taste of dark-comedy vs. satirical wit. Read more
