1	''Get Set For Life'' was a weekday children's programming block on Creator/{{CBC}} that ran from January 2000 to September 2003. It featured Creator/AlysonCourt (of ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'' fame) and Michael Clark as hosts. They would hang out in Alyson's attic, do activities and [[BreakingTheFourthWall interact with the viewers]]. Their segments would frame programming such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSaveUms''. The block was named for a partnership between CBC's childrens programming department, the Invest in Kids foundation, and Canadian Living magazine. It's fondly remembered by Canadian late 90's-early 2000's kids, but there's hardly any information ''at all'' about it circulating online, let alone any footage from the block.
