'Nine years ago I had a little boy who was in today’s episode, Jackson. And I didn’t feel like myself anymore.'
And to mark the occasion, after being drenched in Gatorade by partner Philip Sternberg, the creator, writer, and star of the show, Catherine Reitman shared her thoughts with everyone on set about how the show was born and why it’s so important to so many working parents.
“I’m shaking, guys,” she started, visibly drenched in sports drink and covered with a towel. “To say that I’m overwhelmed is such an understatement. Nine years ago I had a little boy who was in today’s episode, Jackson . And I didn’t feel like myself anymore. Phil and I were really struggling to find any content out there that represented that, that showed how fucked up having kids can be.”
She went on to say how her partner encouraged her to make art from what she was feeling, and the show was suddenly born. “Philip it was you that encouraged me to write and shoot something and because of that, I know she’s not here, but if this ever gets to Sally Catto at CBC, thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking an 8 minute sizzle and green lighting it for 13 episodes, it doesn’t even makes sense. But then of course it does, because we are here together celebrating the fact that that these stories are so much bigger than me.
She also talked about the difficulty of losing her dad, Ivan Reitman, ahead of the last season as well as how magical it was to work on set with the entire“I spoke to my brother today. I used to talk to my dad the day we’d wrap the season, and I was really afraid of the drive home that I wouldn’t be able to talk to him tonight,” she said.
