Satisfaction is a Canadian television sitcom, created by Tim McAuliffe, that debuted on CTV on June 24, 2013. Satisfaction was canceled after one season.[1]
The show centres on couple Jason (Luke Macfarlane) and Maggie (Leah Renee) and their roommate Mark (Ryan Belleville) as they try to seek some satisfaction in their lives.[2] The series also features their neighbour Simon (Pat Thornton), Maggie's boss, former hockey player turned bar owner Doug St. Bruce (Thomas Mitchell), neighbour and cat enthusiast Bea (Nikki Payne), and single father Gary Breakfast (Mark Critch).
