I thought the pilot episode was great! It's finally nice to see CBC getting a bit out of their comfort zone for once. Let's be honest, most of the comedy/sitcom programming on CBC is a snooze, and Gerry D is complete reverse polarization from it's regular scheduling.
The character "Mr.D" is a bit unrealistic, and too be honest probably would be fired shortly after starting his teaching career; but this is T.V REMEMBER!!!!...this IS NOT a REAL public educator. So all the people that have been saying he is "rude", or "mean",or a bad representation of Canada, can go back to their boring regular scheduled programming and leave this one for the half of Canada.
I think the demographic that CBC is trying to relate to is probably 16-35, and if you do not fall in this category, than you more than likely will not going to appreciate the comedy of which Mr.D's awkward teaching style cannot go unnoticed.
I think if you are looking for something new on Monday's, and you enjoy shows like Community, The Office, etc... than this show is at LEAST worth a watch, because after all, we have to stand up and keep original programming, or else CBC (Canada's boringist Channel) will once again fall back to it's old ways and start producing more television sitcoms that nobody in the demographic of which I mentioned above will ever, never watch. Can I get an amen?
score 9/10
