Английская Википедия:Dan for Mayor
Dan for Mayor is a Canadian television sitcom starring Fred Ewanuick that debuted on March 1, 2010 on CTV and The Comedy Network.[1] It premiered the same night as Hiccups, a show created by Corner Gas star Brent Butt that also features fellow Corner Gas alumna Nancy Robertson. On June 7, 2010, both Dan for Mayor and Hiccups were renewed for a second season. The second season premiered on June 5, 2011.[2] Neither show was renewed for a third season.[3]
Premise
The series stars Ewanuick as Dan Phillips, a slacker in his early 30s, who finds himself running for mayor of Wessex, a fictional city in Ontario, in the 2010 municipal elections, after a chance comment to his ex-girlfriend. When his opponent, incumbent mayor Bud, is hit by a bus and killed, Dan becomes the only mayoral candidate whereupon he reopens the candidacy for a fair race. In the show's second season, Dan takes office as the city's new mayor, finding himself woefully unprepared for the job.
The cast also included Mary Ashton, Paul Bates, Benjamin Ayres, Laurie Murdoch, David Ferry, Suzanne Coy, Agam Darshi, and Lara Jean Chorostecki.
The show also featured several cameo appearances by real-life mayors of Ontario cities, including Carl Zehr, Brenda Halloran, and David Miller.
Filming locations
The series' location shooting took place in Kitchener, Waterloo, Ontario, and Hamilton, Ontario; recognizable locations include Kitchener City Hall (as Wessex City Hall) and the Huether Hotel (as Fern's Grill, Dan's workplace).
