The Neighbors Dog

The Neighbors Dog is a Canadian music performance television series, which premiered on SCN in 2009.^[1] Created by Darryl Kessler and John Mills of Plan 9 Films, the series featured musicians performing private house concerts in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.^[2]

The show aired three seasons before SCN was acquired by Rogers Sports & Media and rebranded as Citytv Saskatchewan, and returned for one further season as a Citytv program.^[3] In the Citytv season, the show's length expanded from a half-hour to a full hour, with the format transitioning from an entirely performance-based show to one that mixed both performance clips and interview segments.^[4]

Kessler received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Photography in a Variety or Sketch Comedy Program or Series at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015, for the fourth season episode featuring Daniel Romano.
