Changed line(s) 1,2 (click to see context) from:

A [[CanadianSeries Canadian]] action-comedy and WorkCom that premiered on CBC in early 2011, ''{{InSecurity}}'' (not "Insecurity" as the page title suggests) is a parody of modern spy fiction. (It was once labeled as "''24'' minus Jack Bauer.") The show follows a team of agents who work for the fictional National Intelligence and Security Agency centred in Ottawa. Essentially a latter-day ''GetSmart'', but with more [[BuffySpeak Canadian-ness]]. The show follows the basic character template of all Canadian shows (DeadpanSnarker, ButtMonkey, OnlySaneMan, etc.) and drops it into an espionage-themed setting. {{InSecurity}} was conceived by Robert de Lint and Virginia White (a director and executive producer of ''Series/CornerGas'', respectively) who then approached Kevin White (showrunner of ''Corner Gas''). The original pilot revolved around the tedium in electronic surveillance work, but it was rejected on the grounds of being too niche and a second pilot was done in a more ''24'' style. The show was picked up for thirteen episodes and premiered on January 4, 2011. The first episode was viewed by 740 000 people. (Doesn't sound like a lot by American standards, but it's a respectable audience up here.)
