Based on Gerry Dee's real-life experiences as a high school teacher before he switched to comedy full-time, MR. D is a story about a charming, under-qualified teacher trying to fake his way through a teaching job, just like he often fakes his way through life. The premise shines the light on teaching from the teacher's point of view, and as it turns out, teachers don't know everything, especially Mr. D -- who struggles to keep one step ahead of his students.
Dee, a regular at Just for Laughs and a contestant on Last Comic Standing, will top-line MR. D which is produced by Michael Volpe. The half hour weekly comedy comes to CBC Television this winter.
MR. D is filmed in Halifax and features Canadian comic Gerry Dee from Topsail Entertainment.
The year's coming to an end, and the graduating students ask Gerry what the annual Parting Gift from the principal is going to be. The tradition is news to Gerry, but he’s going to go big, or go home.
Bobbi and Robert's big day is fast approaching and, tired of being alone, Gerry desperately wants his own partner. His search takes him online, but doesn't exactly translate to love.
When Gerry's almost injured in a staffroom incident, he's disappointed to realize the staff's indifference over his near-death experience.
Gerry's approached by a producer who wants to use Xavier as a backdrop for a movie, but he gets too caught up in the details to see the big picture.
