In a Toronto neighbourhood nestled from the lake front next to High Park, this show presents a fresh and at times dream-state-esque comedic experience. Whether the fine folks who actually live in Sunnyside act anything like this brilliant exaggeration is best left to viewers' imaginations. No doubt, more than a fair share of people will identify with these characters (at least at some point in their lives?). It definitely feels different than the typical Canadian Content comedy of times gone by. Quick, unexpected, and often jaded sequences focus a lens of self- reflection (and just plain sarcastic fun) on otherwise typical Torontonian human interactions. The show reminds me vaguely of SCTV and also David Wain (particularly Wainy Days). The British show Snuff Box is also quite similar in terms of timing, unexpected twists and raw off-colour style. It's quite surreal to see linkage to an actual Toronto neighbourhood, complete with authentic references. Perhaps the show will catch on and will become known for helping Toronto lighten up and collectively laugh a little at ourselves.

I know un-good is not a real word but it somehow seems to fit this show perfectly.The writing is really awful, the acting is mostly awful too, and the show as a whole is bad as well. The entire concept behind this show is just flawed.This is yet another pretty terrible sketch comedy series on Canadian television.There are a lot of people I recognize in this show and I think it may be the same people from Hotbox which is another confusing, annoying, unfunny mess of a sketch comedy series. How do these shows keep getting made and how do these people keep getting work? I am almost ready to give up on Canadian TV.I give it a three because other shows are actually easily worse (such as the Hotbox that I already mentioned) but it's definitely not worth watching either.

Sunnyside is a fresh comedy that our family loves to watch. It is not like any other show on television. The characters in Sunnyside are normal exaggerated. It is a sketch comedy but it flows from one week to the next. What I mean by that is that you get to know all of the characters and see them frequently. My personal favourites are the ironic hipsters, the closet lesbian and her naive husband and the not so tough female cops just to name a few. Yes, this show is ridiculous and silly but that is exactly what TV needs. The characters are great.The writing is great.It is silly, fun and a good laugh and I love that it is Canadian!Looking forward to season 2!

This show is really terrible. Trying to be funny by showing you situations that would normally went completely different.... but it just awkward an not funny...There are lots of characters, but I couldn't care less for any of them. The situations are completely ridiculous. The only positive thing I can say about this is that its only 20min long.... thankfully.Watched first episode out of curiosity, bu no - this show is not anything I would like to watch again.The only "good" character.... and good is very low in this case is the blonde police woman. All and all - terrible show, terrible writing and the actors were not at their best either...
