Still Standing (Canadian TV series)

To be considered for a show, a community must submit a proposal to the show's producers, who then select a subset of those proposals for inclusion in that season's programming. The order of filming is independent of the order of episode broadcasting. Filming occurs during the three hiatuses in the filming of Murdoch Mysteries, in which Harris is part of the main cast. The crew then spends five days in the community, the first four of which are spent filming scenery and conducting interviews. Most of the segments are planned in advance, including Harris interviewing local individuals. The filming schedule is flexible to allow the crew to film events "on the fly". ==Comedy show==

The visit culminates in a comedy performance by Harris at a local venue on the fifth day. The event is free to attend on a first come, first served basis, and features performances by other stand-up comics. In the show, Harris discusses the residents, and the community's difficulties and response to those difficulties. Harris said he was "worried that they (local residents) might be apprehensive" about the show and its subject, but found that instead "they were laid back". He stated that "people are not overly sensitive, and are just up for the laugh". The stand-up routine typically includes inside jokes that may not be included in the episode that is broadcast. ==Episodes==
