Made in Canada: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

A satire of film and television production, the series revolves around Pyramid Productions, a nest of incompetence, greed and backstabbing. The staff of Pyramid try to manage the complications provided by the casts and crews of their film and television productions. The company's cash cows are two series, The Sword of Damacles, a parody of mythological adventure series such as Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys; and Beaver Creek, a parody of Canadian period dramas such as Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea.
