This would've been a TV show adaptation of Mordecai Richler's 1959 novel. It would've aired on Showcase (the same network that aired the seasons 1-7 of Trailer Park Boys) and would've lasted for 6 seasons and 108 episodes (18 episodes per season). The story and setting are the same: Set in Montreal, some Jewish guy named Duddy Kravitz goes to work as a waiter at a kosher resort hotel in the Laurentian Mountains. Some changes include making Yvette a Toronto native instead of French Canadian, being set during the mid-to-late '90s, and making Duddy's job as a waiter a permanent job instead of a summer job. The theme song would be "The Future" by Leonard Cohen.
