Getting Along Famously

Getting Along Famously

"Getting Along Famously" is a Canadian sitcom which aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Set in the early '60s, "Getting Along Famously" features real-life couple Colin Mochrie and Debra McGrath as the temperamental darlings of CBC variety television, with Robin Duke, Bob Martin and Patrick McKenna.

The pilot episode, "Saving Ruby's Ass", aired January 10, 2005. It was one of three sitcom pilots aired by the CBC, along with "Walter Ego" and "Hatching, Matching and Dispatching", as a viewer response poll. Pilots that polled favourably were developed into full series. The CBC previously employed this strategy with the shows "" and "An American in Canada".

A season of six episodes was commissioned by the CBC, and aired on that network as follows:

The series was cancelled in June 2006 and released on DVD in October 2006.
