Blackfly was a Canadian sitcom which ran on the Global Television Network for two seasons (2001-2002).
The show was set in 18th-century Canada, and featured a twisted Blackadder-style Canadian history in which Benny "Blackfly" Broughton (Ron James), a jack-of-all-trades of colonial Canada, is joined by the by-the-book British officer, Corporal Entwhistle (Colin Mochrie).
Other characters included Blackfly's boss, the rowdy, penny-pinching Scottish storekeeper MacTavish (James Kee), Misty Moon (Cheri Maracle), a wise native barkeep who loves watching the white man blow his money on whiskey, the deranged and nutty Colonel Boyle (Richard Donat), and his daughter Lady Hammond (Shauna Black), the hot-blooded princess of privilege.
The whole show is a parody on the first few Blackadder series. It has similarities such as oddball characters and a British-like laugh track.
The show was produced by Salter Street Films.
