Married Life

Married Life is a Canadian television comedy-drama series, which aired in 1995. Created by Ken Finkleman as a parody of early 1990s reality television shows such as The Real World and Cops, the series stars Robert Cait and Karen Hines as Frank and Ivy, a young engaged couple who agree to have their first months of marriage documented by television producer George Britton (Finkleman) for a television reality show, only to have Britton manipulate them into decisions, including having extramarital affairs, designed to boost the show's ratings with sensationalism. The cast also includes Mark Farrell, Jeremy Hotz, Wayne Flemming, Rosemary Radcliffe, Claire Cellucci, Angela Asher, Brad Brackenridge and Tony Ning. The series aired on The Movie Network in Canada, and on Comedy Central in the United States. The series was a Gemini Award nominee for Best Comedy Series at the 10th Gemini Awards. Finkleman also received nominations for Best Direction in a Comedy Series and Best Writing in a Comedy Series, Joan Hutton was nominated for Best Photography in a Comedy Series, and the cast were collectively nominated for Best Performance in a Comedy Program or Series (Individual or Ensemble).
