"Republic of Doyle" was a popular comedy-drama that ran on CBC Television from 2010 to 2014. The main characters were Jake Doyle and his father Malachy, both retired police officers in St John's Newfoundland, who now work together as private investigators.

Their dealings are not always on the right side of the law and the final season turned on a recurring theme of clearing Jake from a murder charge. "Republic of Doyle" and "Murdoch Mysteries" did a very intriguing pair of cross-over episodes, in which the star of "Republic of Doyle" (Allan Hawco) played his own grandfather when investigations took Detective Murdoch to St John's, and then Yannick Bisson (Murdoch) played his own grandson on "Republic of Doyle".

The Degrassi franchise is one of the longest-running collection of Canadian TV series. It included a children's show, "The Kids of Degrassi Street" (1982-1986), followed by "Degrassi Junior High" (1987-1989) then "Degrassi High" (1989-1991), and finally a 90-minute made-for-TV movie which concluded the 'adventures' of the cast, some of whom were part of the original series, "The Kids of Degrassi Street".

The franchise was revived in 2001 as "Degrassi: the Next Generation" and ran until 2014. A further revival, "Degrassi: The Next Class" made its debut in 2016. Degrassi Street is a real street in the eastern part of Toronto.

In its later seasons the show tackled all sorts of controversial issues: teen pregnancy, abortion, homosexuality, abusive bullying, mental illness, but always with frankness and sensitivity.
