PROFILE
ABOUT LIFE WITH DEREK
On that fateful day when Nora MacDonald and George Venturi decided to get married and merge their families, there was one little detail they overlooked - their two Type A 15-year-olds! Derek and Casey don't find their own genetic siblings a threat, but when they are forced to live together, they find themselves in a take-no-prisoners fight for control of their house, their school and their world.
Life with Derek is a half-hour comedy series about a modern blended family, which has forced together two willful teenagers, Casey (Ashley Leggat) and Derek (Michael Seater), each used to being in charge and each determined to keep it that way! Life with Derek airs on The Family Channel. www.family.ca
THE JURY SPEAKS!
"Life with Derek is fairly realistic and I think the cast members were well chosen. It has really neat transitions and the music and sound helps to tell the story. The storyline was good because the way the characters solved and dealt with the problems was very creative! I think they did a really good job of how it might look if you could see into the life of a family like theirs."
"This series is a really good example of a show that is well cast and well scripted. Life with Derek has a good sense of fun and narrative. The acting is really good and it's got a tight script. Life with Derek is an entertaining show and it stood out as something that's just easy to watch and makes you want to know the characters more."
