  1. Thank you for this extensive list…most informative…
    I started watching Shane Delia’s series…and then it was pulled and I never saw it again…also a search on SBS throws up nothing…very disappointing…I have watched all of Shane’s previous series…

    1. SBS bumped it to Friday afternoons for its last 2 episodes (I only knew because I searched for an update here) and it was On Demand but probably gone now. Not really clear why it was moved. I guess train docos rate higher.

      It just happened that I attended an SBS focus group a few weeks after and mentioned the show to them. Seemed that the people there didn’t know why it happened and acknowledged that it is very rare for SBS to bump a series mid season.

      Seems ironic that the show gets better recognition overseas than its own host network.

  2. So happy to see the Canadian comedies Schitt’s Creek and Kim’s Convenience. They have both been renewed for a fifth and third series. Paul Sun-Hyung and Jean Yoon who are the leads in Kim Convenience are extremely funny and spot on. It just won the best comedy at the Canadian Movie/TV awards. Catherine O’Hara who is in Schitt’s Creek won best actress for a third year running. Always love The Goldbergs…. the lead reminds me of my mother.
