I caught it on the Atlantic feed. I was disappointed by the pilot, but it's a pilot which are generally weak anyway.

They need to introduce the characters and relationships, set the premise for the series, etc.

Spoiler!

I'm a fan of the secondary character casting:

Jonathan Torrens is the school's Vice-Principle
Bette MacDonald is the school's secretary

The "school" he teaches at is Citadel High in Halifax, which is right across from the CBC-TV station. I'm surprised they film in Halifax, but with his wife being from the greatest province in the dominion (actually from the greatest island anywhere) it shouldn't have come as that much of a shock to me.

Here's to the series taking off and becoming this decade's Corner Gas
