    Charming; that is my rating for this video after careful consideration and review so that I might meet the one hundred character requirement and earn another merit badge in the comedy coup competition.

    Love that there's such a large cast, unlike some that are solo or a duo. Makes it much more interesting and I want to see more of all the quirky characters in Littleton Falls. Comedy is subjective, but with a range of types and colour potential in this series, it's a definite positive. I'll be putting my hard earned votes to use to see more of this.

    I like good acting so I like this show! Go Rosebud! Great mise en scene. Let's add some Aboriginal actors who are part of every historical village. Also a story line where your bosses at the town council decide on a colour blind casting initiative. This is the CBC after all. And the results would be really funny and add some edge.

    I was looking forward to seeing the badlands and some farm animals... maybe next time.
    Littleton has interesting characters. Looking back over the trailers and producer's intro's I feel a connection to the theme of the "story tellin" of the "goins ons of everyone in a small town filled with gossip. You could have heard it out of Calgary hey ! Thats a show in itself.
    From a fellow living in southern Alberta I would like to see this show make it into top 15

    Probably the best, most concise presentation of the concept yet. We finally see the characters/actors and the setting in more detail. Most of the jokes are sharp, despite a few that fall flat. Good to see the series finally come into focus in one of these videos.

    Thanks Courtney, in answer to your question, the characters in the actual show are archetypal. Although not everyone has been in these situations everyone knows the "types" of characters in this show. maybe you met them at a summer camp, maybe they directed your choir, a boss, an aunt, uncle mother brother, friend. The audience will relate to these people even more than they may or may not the situation that they are in. Make sense?

    Other than Ms. Frying Pan I don't think anyone I saw was a character? I still like the general idea but haven't seen anything in the way of characters. "A dysfunctional group of misfits who work/live together" is the same exact storyline of a bunch of other projects.

    I think this is a strong concept. But you guys just keep selling the concept. I still don't really know any more in depth things about story or characters. I love the look, love the idea. But also, you've got to stop saying "Comedy CooP" Please. Unless it's a joke. Doesn't seem like it.

    Your sell sheet could probably benefit from a redesign. I still love the concept and the ensemble seems amazing, I just think it needs a different marketing technique. This show sounds like it could be so good but the videos just don't do enough to sell it to me. I think this a common problem for comedy shows in general. Look at Arrested Development and Corner Gas, both very funny shows with marketing that didn't do them justice, both gone too soon. I really want this project to succeed because the concept is hilarious and there are some funny lines in here...maybe just a question of editing.

    It's great to see a lot of familiar faces in a great town that's basically a prefabricated movie set, but we're five videos in, and I still have no idea WHO this show is about. Obviously it's an ensemble cast, but I don't know a single thing about any of the characters, except that they're all actors and interpreters ... and I already knew that. Sorry, my friends, but it feels like you're coasting here.
