Principal photography has started on the Showcase Original series Moose TV and will run until early July in Montreal. The series stars Adam Beach and Alberta's own Nathaniel Arcand and will consist of eight half-hour episodes. Moose TV is Canada's first Native-produced comedy featuring an all-star Native cast. The first season is slated for broadcast on Showcase in early 2007. Beach plays George who returns home to his Native community and lock-picks his way into an abandoned TV station and decides to revive it. George convinces good friend Clifford (Arcand) to lend his technical expertise.
