Has anyone watched the Canadian TV Show "Slings and Arrows"?

This show was produced around 2005 I think, and it ran for 3 seasons. We'd never heard of it, but have almost finished Season 3 on Netflix. It's about a theater company producing Shakespeare and other works. Each season focuses on a particular Shakespeare play, as well as all the weird goings-on with the company. Strange, quirky show, but we're really enjoying it.

I've had it in my live-streaming queue forever... thanks for the reminder that it's worth taking a look at.

I have kind of a love/hate relationship with Paul Gross (in the celebrity sense; I don't actually know the man and have no reason to believe he's anything other than a lovely person in real life :)), but I really liked Slings.

 

If you like odd little Canadian shows, you might check out Little Mosque on the Prairie. Love that.

Sounds great! We recently discovered Doc Martin which is pretty good, but there's some adult innuendo here and there sometimes going a bit further than innuendo.

 

Hmmmm, Slings & Arrows may not work for you, as there's definitely innuendo and sometimes more. It's a quirky and fun show, but not innocent. Try one...you'll know right off if it's for you!

Thank you, if it's on Netflix we'll give it a try!

And by the way, I'd never seen Paul Gross before, or at least I don't remember him. But I very much like the way he looks! :)

I resisted it for awhile... I've been disappointed by Cancon too many times, and I didn't think it could possibly live up to the hype... But Slings & Arrows was a fantastic show. I've heard they might do another season. Fingers crossed.

That would be great if they did! Maybe Netflix will get involved - they just finished shooting another season of Arrested Development which will air on Netflix in May. Can't wait!
