vucurovicja Flush your toilet twice on this one because Mr D stinks, stinks STINKS.

nocandlesonmycake I guess we must be low on Canadian content shows because this is the only reason that I can think of that it is still on. Started out funny as they used more of the characters to flesh out the show. Now it seems to be all about Mr. D and he isn't a strong enough actor to carry the show. He is a funny stand up but that is a one night event. I know it is supposed to be a comedy but the show has become just to ridiculous.

reggie-at-random The "funny-ness" of this series remains questionable even after some seasons have passed. Shuddering memories of incredibly stupid and lazy 'colleagues' (mostly in the Business, Guidance and Phys Ed) rise to the surface whenever I glimpse Gerry's silly smug mug. He's an actor defenders claim, to which I reply: No he's not...he's playing himself. And it ain't no stretch. Proof? Forcible viewing of his several "comedy" acts underlined this conclusion. All his observational humour was based on an incredibly selfish stance that came across as so intrinsic to his own character (it must be coming from somewhere!) that it seems he is willing to accept laughter as a by-product of a world view he maintains anyway with little or no appreciation of the degree to which he is revealing and so embarrassing himself. But back to the Mr D series.... that creepy relationship between the stick-man and the female principal? YIKES...report those two to the union, NOW!! Many talented and excellent supporting actors deserve the work they get on this series however, so good for them, but otherwise, it's still no thanks for me. Time passes: Tried to view this show again and good lord it's still as bad. Gerry tries to bate a predator with the school's kids? THIS is supposed to be FUNNY? An new low that really just further reveals how truly shudderingly awful a teacher he is with no worthy punishment. Why would anyone think this is amusing I am still at a loss to understand.

George_imdb9 If your a fan of east bound and down, arrested development, Will Farrell, or Steve Carrell id recommend giving this show a shot. Mr.D is unique, and kind of fresh compared to a lot of whats going on in a lot comedies these days.Ttho more PG and not as raunchy as many shows I like. However I find it clever and often endearing because of the children characters. Its great seeing the jokes fly over their heads or watching them exercise more maturity than the adults. While sometimes predictable Mr.D still manages to catch me off guard and give me a share of laugh out loud moments.I was shocked to see some negative reviews trash the show. While it might not be for everyone what show is. If you don't like it id say it more about taste than quality. I cringe to think those reviewers might be the same people that keep the American networks pumping out generic laugh track sitcoms each year. long story short give it a try. Its a fun simple show. It is really hitting its stride in the last couple seasons. Also the short episodes are great for a quick fix and easy to watch at your convince because you can stream it on Netflix or CBC's website for free.
