* GranolaGirl: Ms. [=McPhee=], the guidance counsellor.

{{CBC}} SitCom based on the stand-up comedy of Gerry Dee. He plays the title character, Gerry Duncan, a borderline-incompetent HighSchool gym teacher pressed into teaching academic subjects as well. Primarily a WorkCom focused on the teachers, but also notable for being Halifax- rather than Toronto-based and using amateur actors to play the kids, thus being one of the few teen-character-heavy English language Canadian shows not to use any of the actors listed on the OnlySoManyCanadianActors page.
