Intriguing; 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.

I don't have to go to out the window to the gym and the other day of any kind to me I love it when so you can get a job at a time time when the sun is out of a new sudden I have to be a able to do with a new song is the so much fun with the same time and I have to no one is going to to be a able good for to the long run the risk ballot in a statement from the start and It will be the best way to the point game is the best most important thing to say that

I will not be voting for these guys project because I think How To Do Everything Gooder is the best show CBC could choose to air!

Best wishes to the top 55 contestant winners and congratulations on having your efforts recognized in this CBC Comedycoup contest. Good Luck to those making the top 15.

Politics and humour? Canadians definitely like that combo. I'm sure you'd have an audience with this show and it's a new concept we haven't seen before.

Loved the "whose is bigger" line. As a young person, I used to find Canadian politics boring, but with everything going on these days I think this could be a really funny show! Best of luck!

Top 55 is an amazing accomplishment - keep up all of the great work. Concept is new - perhaps there is a large audience waiting for this type of comedy - Canadian politics..................now that is funny!

Sure, political commentary has been done before, but rarely does it make me laugh this hard, and that's just with 90 seconds. It'd be amazing to see what you could do with a half-hour special.

This is a great concept on our government and I think you guys can make it really good. The talent you have is pretty much in par with most of the other top projects here. Good Luck on making the rest round.

Not a bad premise. Compared to American politics, Canadian politics is pretty much tame and as such,, the show should be the anti house of cards. Corruption should be centered around getting an NHL team to come to a certain city or maybe a budget crisis involving road salt. The should take cues from parks and Recreation but amplify it to the nth degree.

Love the concept! Canada could really use a humourous look at politics and politicians and all the behind the scenes crap that may or may not happen. Best of luck making the top 15.

Love the poster of course. Keep putting it up for all your thumbnails. Hope your event went well. Keep working on betting mic'ing. (So you don't have to use subtitles)

I think this show would be uncharted territory. Canadian politics hasn't been a tv show before and I think there is tons of potential. This is a great cast with tons of strong funny women, which I totally dig. Great job.

I'm seeing a lot of people just phoning in their comments by cutting and pasting the same thing in each post to get the extra votes. You have a great premise that should be top 15.

At first I wasn't expecting to like a show about politics but this is definitely different. It turned out pretty good and I enjoyed it

Good luck, and congrats on the climb thus far. I doubt that I could laugh at the messy world of politics though, it just spikes my blood pressure.

Quite the competition from the east to the west coast and such an excellent group of participants makes it hard to pick just 15. I hope CBC gives you each a coffee mug or something for getting to the top 55. Best wishes to all.

"The only thing worse than being a politician is working for one" i totally agree with that, i worked for like 3 of them at an internship i had in ottawa. laaame, but your show is sick

The sad fact is that even Canadians don't tend to know enough about Canadian politics for this show to have much of a shot in my opinion.

Well the final hours of the vote to get to the next level are approaching now so it is up to the voters now to get you there. Best wishes to you for success and nice work on getting through to the top 55 for all those able who were able to get that far.

Iiiih. I don't know about this one. It's a pretty good idea, but this video just didn't gel or flow well. It was all over the place.

Nice to see a strong female cast. Lots of potential as politics is always in need of some good old fashioned mocking. Good Luck!

Way to go on your comedy coup efforts to date. You have succeeded in making it to the top 55 and that is something to be proud of. Already the competition is getting tough as the quality of the competitors gets refined. Best wishes for making it to the next level.

Lots of cool female leads in this one. I like it. I'm going to watch more to see if I can piece together the story a bit better. Funny opening clip. Caught me off guard! lol What kinda camera is being used in the car? Seemed a bit foggy.. maybe its just me... Great job guys!

Very interesting take a Canadian comedy politics shows. This has real promise. I thought the jokes were funny and acting was great! Good Luck

Could be neat watching a show on Canadian politics, has it been done before? I could see this moving forward. Good luck to you re the Top 15!

If you are receiving this comment then you are one of my top 15 favorites in this comedycoup.cbc.ca contest and you are congratulated for making the top 55 and doing a really good job on all the missions to date. That has been a lot of work so congratulations on your efforts!

digging the stache dude! and yknow what, i think that canada needs a new political show. like royal canadian air farce was a hoot and its time to bring that kind of perspective stuff back. respect

This is definitely a new take on politics! It has loads of potential and it's "dangerously funny", for sure.I think your team has a solid idea here, and deserve to get good reviews. It's good scenes are shot in different locations, like in a car, not restricted to a stuffy office. Good luck.

I don't know if I like politics enough to watch a show abuot them, but I like the idea of learning about the people who are behind the people we hate and vote for!! Respect to our fallen soldier at the Hill and to all of our soldiers!

My top 15 in no particular order are:
Geoff and the Ninja, The Hill, How to do Everything Gooder, The Lease, Warf Rats, Dear Stella, Goons, Dope Ass World, North of Normal, Just passing through, The Batchelors, Buddy guys, The Dangers of Online Dating, Nanny Walbourne, Heir Heads.

I think this show could really work for CBC actually. Americans have countless political shows and I think it would be great for Canadians to have their own. Unfortunately given the recent events at parliament this past month I don't know how this show will be received by the public. But best of luck regardless!

My top 15 in no particular order are:
Geoff and the Ninja, The Hill, How to do Everything Gooder, The Lease, Warf Rats, Dear Stella, Goons, Fruit Farm, North of Normal, Buddy guys, The Cutbacks, The Batchelors, Dope Ass World, Nanny Walbourne, Heir Heads.

i think this is a good political satire but i dont really follow canadian politics too much and so i worry that a lot of the jokes would be lost on me and tahts one thing i think you need to be careful of if youre going to go this route is making the political satire really cutting but also having enough of other kinds of humour for the regular layman to get

Political comedies have always been a personal favourite of mine! I'm glad the Hill has chosen to continue this outstanding Canadian trend! Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!! Dropping my votes on you guys soon!

i love political satire. wasn't as taken with #5 as the earlier ones. but good luck.

More women represented in politics! Bravo!

There's a lot of political TV shows out there right now and I like that this show would be viewing it from a different perspective. Great job, all involved!

i like the idea here. i think CBC would be smart to take on a little edge and something like this could deliver that. especially in the absence of Royal Canadian Air Farce these days. there is a lot of potential here to make fun of our politicians. nice stuff.

As a political junkie, I really love your show! This is one funny way to get more women into politics. Tons of potential here for cutting political commentary. I hope you make it to the top 15!

Love politics. Love this. Really like the look and tone. That guy who does not give a shit is great! He totally looks and sounds like an Alberta MP! Would love to see this on my TV. You go girls, skewer our Conservative government! I'll be watching.

I like the project, the way the video keeps moving and the talent. Good premise, different setting and ripe with a lot of comic potential. This is worth a top 15, in my opinion.

the setting is really adding a lot to the motion of this picture. perhaps including a bit more musical and graphical effects can help you guys go a long way

This is a funny idea that you have pulled off in an interesting way. I am looking forward to see what comes next from you. I am also looking forward to seeing how this project evolves. Good luck going on in the competition.

I like the irreverent play in Canadian politics; there is certainly enough subject matter to feed this for a while, even if it stays character-focused and only vaguely referential.

I agree with the previous comments. Love the fact that there is a female cast and the political humour is smart and sexy. Good job team The Hill, all the best in this competition

"We'll show you whose is BIGGER, after the break". #NailedIt. Love the news anchor. Love the ladies rockin' the political humor. Bring it. And while you're at it can you get Canadians to elect someone who actually has sex appeal for a change? Thank you in advance for your service to our Country. ;-) j.

Nice to see women's views on The Hill, since we are not well represented there! Liked the differing camera angles and locales :-)

I posted comment here earlier that I hope wasn't interpreted poorly and deleted. I commented (or intended to) on how hard comedy writing must be when your location is in the midst of a media frenzy. I think it's a solid feat to be able to keep creating and keep the funny on a very fine line. SNL must deal with it weekly.

A comedy about the Canadian government!! Why hasn't this happened before? And sure, it's basically the Canadian VEEP, but hey, why not? We should have our own VEEP. I'm sure there's tons of Canada-specific government stuff to satire. Great concept, and hope to see more.

I think your earlier work was better but this is still good. Congratulations on the top 55 but I think the Rick Mercer report is more fun than a Canadian VEEP. best wishes.

Great video, I got a feel for the show but it just felt like a trailer. Would have liked to hear something about the makers or any kind of backstory. Still, fun idea and you seem like you know the material.

This video really invited me in, and I finally got a video for my week five fan badge where I laughed out loud. If you guys don't make it to the top fifteen, I'd recommend sticking with this as a weekly 3-7 minutes web series type concept. Canadian politics has gotten heavy and I'd like to laugh at it more.

Congrats on making it this far. Not my favourite hype video but still a good story idea. Best scene for me was the apathetic politician joke.

Veep. :(

Well I guess your gong for a remake of VEEP and congratulations on making it to the final 55. Afraid I'm just not a big fan of that series so do not see the value in remaking it. The film quality seemed clear and impressive to have a media contact listed.

I hope you event went great tonight. I would have loved to have been a part of it. You go! Royal - Littleton Falls Settler Village.

Another good teaser video from The Hill. Still making me laugh five weeks in, showing a lot of personality and character in this one. Looking forward to seeing more from you guys!

This video made me laugh. I like your tone and approach. Great job.

congratulations on making it to the top 55! I like the concept- way to go! Good luck on earning yourself a spot in the top 15!

I like the characters! Good luck on the competition.

Great idea for a comedy. I like how characters use real language when being interviewed. Straight to the point. Good luck!

Great show concept.. I'm sure a lot of people would be into watching some behind-the-scenes political action with a comedic twist. Good luck guys!

someone needs to make this. I don't care who, even if it's right wing zombie with hellfire missles in his backyard, this should be a show. Good stuff you guys good luck in the voting. Sorry I'm using all my votes for YARNS though, I love those guys and I'm from Calgary!

This is the first thing I've seen by y'all and it had me hooked! I will definitely be watching for what you do next. Great job and good luck in the contest.

dirty fun politics. im down for some of that. good job calgarians, way to represent. congratulations on making it to top 55 and good luck on making it to the next level

Enjoyed your hype video and thought your sell sheet was very well put together. Your show has great potential. There is an endless supply of funny material that's related to politics. Good luck in the competition!

Good luck. You have worked very hard and comedy coup has a big debt to pay to all the teams that participated.

The Hill represents how much talent is how much there is in Calgary I look forward to meeting some of the members of the the Calgary pilot shows at the Plaza. What a great idea for an incredibly talented bunch of actors. Go Calgary Go!

would have liked to see new material for the sell sheet, i'm seeing the same photos over and over again, and i really wish you'd do something new for us. i like the pace of the show and i think it has some potential to be fun but a lot of what you've done for the weekly challenges is recycled content.

Love the premise, pace, attitude, range and authenticity of characters, and your production values. Top 15 potential for sure! Good luck!

This has an appealing concept, and it looks like it has good potential, so I hope you at least make it to the next level. Good luck!

Where did this beauty come from!? A prime opportunity for political satire, intelligent laughs, and a creative outlet for some of Calgary's best-offered talent. I seriously can not wait to dump my votes on this project.

Great idea mixing politics with comedy, lots of great characters. Good luck in the next round.

Love the concept and your new poster is really pro! Best of luck with the top 15 voting, and whatever happens, keep going, I'd love to watch this.

Politics, always timely in situational comedy ...and drama. You certainly make it work. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55, and I hope to see you down the road!

Congrats on making it this far, and good luck with the Top 15. I could see you making it into the next round. You seem to put in a lot of effect. GL!

Nicely done guys, I think the concept is pretty solid and makes for an effective way to keep a series going for a while. Political comedy is pretty got right now, and I know its not something I would be able to write. Glad you guys can though.

Good concept. Like the videos. Good luck in the next round. Look forward to seeing the next video. Very talented group of people. There are so many talented people out there.

What the hill is going on here?! A show with great writing, comedic acting, and from Calgary?! Wowsers! I hope the top 15 serves this show well, or my name's Dave Bronconnier.

You guys a re super talented! this is a fabulous premise for a weekly sit-come. the possibilities are endless. Your writing is great and you really engage the audience. Good luck making it into the Top fifteen.

The hill continues to blow me away with how hilarious it is. The writing is incredible, the cast is so talented, and the finishing touches have really been put on well even in the shorts for the contest. Way to be out of the box guys you're doing such an incredible job.

What I like about this show especially this week is that given the amount of news that the Hill has been under over sexual harassment, you have content for almost a full season right there.

The Hill is my favourite project. I wish we could of voted for the poster with the tower in flames. I would of voted that one for sure because it is so edgy. The media hook was a bit weak, but overall the writing is clever and funny.

This is a nice video and shows the humor and style you guys are going for but as I'm sure others have mentioned there's no real hook here to draw in media. Your art quality is great and there's a lot of reasons your topic should be covered by news outlets you just need to come and say them!

"This one caught my eye out of pure chance and I am super happy that it did! Loved the effort you guys are putting into this! The writing is nice and I can't wait to see what unfolds in the voting process."

Super original, funny, relevant, I WANT MORE. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!

This show is unique, hilarious and relevant. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I good lucking on making it to the Top 15!!

I feel like everyone on this show is going to get in really good shape! SO much walk and talk! Haha! I'm going to practice my walking and talking skills for the meet-up on Friday so I can get to know these people in their own environment.

A very Canadian concept (love it). Looks very fast-paced and smart. I want to see it separate itself from being a Canadian "Veep" but I definitely see strong potential.

I always enjoy your guys' videos and am never disappointed! I personally think this type of comedy has a place on CBC! Your topic is awesome, the cast is great, the writing is funny, and the comedic timing is spot on! I really hope you guys get into the Top 15 because you definitely deserve it! Good luck!

The Hill is the most different project i've seen so far. maybe because it is an all women cast (at least main characters). Unfortunately it is the type of humour that doesn't make me laugh. i didn't care for the swearing, and sexual overtones, or should i say the directness of the topic.

Again! Always putting on the best show possible! CBC aint seen nothing like this before so I am hoping they see just how much potential this show really has! Hilariously honest and keeps me in stitches every time! So congratulations to the Hill on making it to the Top 55 and good luck on making it to the Top 15!!

LOL! There was some good stuff in here. I just can imagine where this will go... nothing secret... oh, la la... anything can happen. Good name for your project. Best of luck to you gals!

This really looks like nothing cbc has ever seen before. The acting is hilarious and natural


























.

Clever, fun, fast paced!! I show I would make a point of watching very week. When the juicy stories from real life die down - because this is Canada - you can work on back story characters. Cool- good luck tomorrow :)

Canadian politics will offer lots of story ideas and potential for comedy. I expect a lot of laughs. Good luck in the competition and hope to see more of you.

I really think this show has some amazing potential. With writing and a cast like this you guys have a great chance at winning. Politics have been done over and over again but the Hill could be that one show that stands out from the rest. Good luck!

Always hard to tell from the short clip what your show would be about but not in this one. I must say that the political humour is good but not something I would be interested in watching. but very slick filming good acting. good Luck this week

I am a big cbc fan but anything to do with politics ---just forget it. It's been done again and again. I am tired of seeing shows about politics. Sorry you guys - you are very talented so good luck.

I really want to see this show. Love the news anchor's jokes - poking fun at politicians is kind of a Canadian legacy!

Personally, I think the hill has got this one the bag. No worries. The content is very relevant. Congratulations on making it to the Top 55 and I hope to see you in the Top 15!!

So glad that this show is still in the running as it has a very polished look to it. It would be interesting to see what a full episode would look like as I have enjoyed all of the videos submitted to date.

I like your sell sheet. That it has embedded links to your other videos... smart. Make it easy. Great.

It's surprising that a show like this hasn't been done before. Good for you for doing it - showing the dirty games behind politics. It would be cool to see what you could accomplish with a big budget. Good luck!

Very professional video. If this is a sample of what you'll produce, good on ya.

well done on your video even though this show concept is not something I could see watching. All there is now on Canadian television is parliamentary news so I am not sure I want more even in spoof form. but good luck.

Good job, guys, on the great use of the week's challenge! One of the better videos this week for hyping your show. Keep up the good work, I'm excited about seeing future projects!

This show is not for me - but your execution of the hype video was well-done. The news anchor soundbites were catchy and intriguing, and the texting at the end made me smile.

If there's anything better than watching politics happen on TV, it's watching people talk about them. Especially the people behind the scenes. This could be an interesting show, and I look forward to your next video!

CF18 pissing contest....good one

I like The Hill and think there's a needed place in Canadian TV for a fast-paced, funny, political show. There's an edge here, kind of like Veep. My girlfriend and I recently started watching West Wing, so I can see an influence there as well. Good luck guys.

You guys did a good job of promoting the show without addressing the camera directly. The Sell Sheet could have been more stylized though.

It was a good video as you showed aspects of your show, but I'm not sure if your show was explained that well to the apparent media. I liked that you introduced some of your characters, and I would like to see where you take them, so good luck in your future missions!

Glad to see that you made it as a wild card selection. I was rooting for you all along. And if anyone knows how to hype it, that would be this crew. If you can make our boring elected officials seem interesting that would be something!

Great Job on making it to the top 55! Your show is absolutely hilarious and I cant wait to see where it goes, once again, great job on making it this far!

Great Acting by the lead lady!

Lot's of different characters on display. Maybe too many but time will tell. Very well done video, cuts back and forth nicely between stories and characters but tells enough about each in a very short time frame which is hard to do. Keep it coming.

As I've said before about this project, I am looking forward to someone approaching the politics in this country with a less reserves, all out style. Your videos continue to have me rooting for you and I look forward to more. I hope that you can introduce us to some of the other players in the weeks to come, as I'd love to know which characters (and their scandals) will be a part of the storylines.

Some funny stuff. Political comedy is a tough comedy balance. Hope you make it to top 15. Good luck with everything folks!

Great video this week!

This looks so good! some sound issues but that'll get sorted out later. Looks really good and I'm excited to see more! I like the tongue-in-cheek humour going on

nice job on the video! it explained very nicely what your show is about and what your goals are. The sell sheet is nice but a bit wordy.

Excited to see a show with strong female characters in the top 55, and one with such a clear vision, too: even in a 90 second video, it's super clear what the tone or the show will be.

Nice little HYPE IT UP video, had some funny in it. I've been liking your stuff for a bit now, just could used a little more info about your event in the video. I laughed though which is good. Good luck with your HYPE event.

Very professional looking video . It gives a pretty clear idea of what the story lines might be. It does remind me of VEEP a lot , which is a favorite American show of mine at the moment. Good luck.

Good luck in the next vote - I enjoy your humour

Although there was more clever writing in your Hype It mission, and obvious potential for a sustainable series, you didn’t seem to actually address the point of this week’s mission. I hope you aren’t running out of steam because The Hill could be great – keep working!

Looking forward to meeting The Hill, FICTIONS and the other Alberta Teams who’ll be at the "PARTY" November 7th at the Plaza Theatre.

I hope you guys don't find it too liberal of me to say that I like where this is going. On a conservative estimate, I'd say you'll make it to the Top 15. I'm sure the people over at the other projects will be green with envy, and will do anything to bloc your success. I'm sure we all agree that would be nothing new, but the democratic votes from the fans will do the talking.

Now lets PARTY!

I like the new picture for The Hill. Look forward to more content.

While I think that you forgot to talk about the 'hype' part of this week's challenge, I personally, forgive you based on your team's dialogue! Very sharp-tongued (could be even more so) and nicely balanced with pure moments of goofiness. The acting is fair to good as well, in my opinion. Good luck!!

if that's the show, i'll watch something else.

Love the jokes! Nice work buddies!

This video was not as engaging as the teaser which I found to be entertaining. I think you have a good idea and there is a lot of potential. I would like to see some more creativity with the plot and characters, I want to see something new.

The video was very good in letting us know where you plan to have this go as a show; however, nothing about the HYPE of getting media and fan support and the event news out there.

Good video

Video didn't do much as goes the week 5 challenge, but your sell sheet is pretty good. Though I wouldn't have included that the CBC itself is backing you, makes you look like "teacher's pet", as it were. All that being said, I do like the idea of the show. If they can do this with the US and UK governments, we can do it here!

#thehill makes for a funny concept! Good luck guys!

You guys are, uuuuuuuh, awesome!!
A

I'm actually excited to see more, having formerly worked on the Hill it's great to finally see someone point out the crazy exists in Canada too!
