Supertown Challenge was a Canadian comedy series, which aired from 1998 to 2000 on The Comedy Network.[1] A spoof of game shows, the show featured contestants (played by actors) competing in a series of challenges for the right to have their hometown declared Canada's "supertown".[2] Real Canadian communities were used, but the portrayal of them within the series was fictionalized and parodic rather than literal.[1]
The show starred Colin Mochrie as host Dick Powell and Jenny Parsons as judge Gwen Mason.[3] The series was produced by Steve Smith's S&S Productions, and filmed at the studios of CHCH-DT in Hamilton, Ontario.[3]
Bruce Pirrie received two Canadian Comedy Award nominations for Best Direction in a Television Series, at the 1st Canadian Comedy Awards in 2000[4] and the 2nd Canadian Comedy Awards in 2001.[5]
