The Comedy Mill was a Canadian sketch comedy television series, which aired from 1987 to 1991 on Hamilton, Ontario's CHCH-TV, and through syndication on other Canadian television stations.[1] The show starred the husband and wife comedy duo of Steve Smith and Morag Smith, with a supporting cast that included Peter Keleghan, Linda Kash and Mag Ruffman.[2]
The show was a revival of their earlier Smith & Smith series, which ended in 1985.[3] For the 85-86 television season, the Smiths and their children Max and David starred in the family sitcom Me & Max.
One of the show's regular features involved parody music videos, presented by Kash as a caricature of a television VJ.[4] Some of the parody videos even made it into rotation on MuchMusic and The Nashville Network.[1]
After The Comedy Mill ended its run, Morag retired from performing and Steve launched his most famous series, The Red Green Show.[5] Red Green had appeared as a recurring character on all of the duo's earlier shows, including The Comedy Mill.
