This Space for Rent is a Canadian dramedy on CBC starring Dov Tiefenbach that premiered on January 4, 2006 as a 'special' CBC pilot as part of its "Comedy Week". Tiefenbach plays Lucky Carroway, a recent university graduate and writer who finds that life after university is not…


Meet LUCKY CARROWAY, recent college-graduate and all-around great guy. Watch as the first-day of the rest of his life turns ugly as he loses his literary agent, his shot at greatness, and his will to live. One month has passed and LUCKY has officially become a shut-in. His steady diet of cigarettes, television, and sarcasm has made a profound dent in any potential he was showing as a young novelist of the times. He has elevated the in-animate neon pig sign ("PINKY") next-door to the level of a prized confidante. And his dwindling sense of selfworth is alienating the only thing he has left: his friends.

When LUCKY and BARNABY get in an argument about whose turn it is to do the laundry, both parties plant their feet in the ground and refuse to give in. As the days go on and clothing begins to wear thin, the tested friendship becomes fodder for LUCKYs newest column about "The Stains of Life: those problems (and people) that we can't seem to wash out."

The entire city of Vancouver has Olympic Fever, and a sizeable increase in the price of everything from parking to a cup of coffee, has LUCKY fuming. Searching for a way to channel his anger, LUCKY settles on his next column: "Why I hate the Olympics and everything to do with them."

The Collector is a Canadian supernatural drama television series about a man attempting to help save people who have bargained their souls with the Devil. After over 600 years of "collecting" the souls of people at the end of their 10-year deals, Morgan Pym negotiates with the Devil for the ability to aid the damned in redeeming themselves rather than sending them to Hell. Under the Devil's mocking gaze, Morgan assists his "clients" in undoing the damage their deals have done because of the devil shifting good luck towards the client and away from others. The series is set in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where it was also filmed. CHUM cancelled the program after three seasons.
