Shelved (2023)
better than most sitcoms that come out of Canada but that doesn't mean much
It's just an average standard sitcom that doesn't really do anything to advance Canadian entertainment. Nothing really outstandingly good or bad here. People have told me the creator of the show is beloved by a lot of white executives in power. But I don't think he's a very strong TV writer. Not the best diverse voice Canada has but he is well-connected.
It's a very forgettable experience when you watch an episode. You don't feel compelled to come back so that will definitely hurt it.
But CTV could very well keep renewing this despite nobody watching because they need to have some Can Con and the diversity that is forced by the CRTC.
It's important to note that this is an actual sitcom though where you can see the clear jokes unlike CTV's "Children Ruin Everything" which is a cringe fest.
Children Ruin Everything (2022)
CTV's Forced Can Con
I tried watching this but it's hard to stay invested in the show. The poster looks like a parody of a family sitcom. Actors thrown together with no chemistry and writers who are more amateur than film students. It's a cringe fest. Canadian sitcoms are always this way. The standards need to be raised on what qualifies as art and who makes art in Canada. It's getting ridiculous. There's no gold standard for young creatives to look up to in Canada.
The regular timeslot is after Big Bang Theory reruns (a show that I don't particularly like that much but still gets a lot of Canadians watching) and still this show can't get an audience in Canada.
