Promotional picture of the series.
Status: Partially Lost
Odd Job Jack is a Canadian animated sitcom that premiered on The Comedy Channel (now CTV Comedy Channel) for 4 seasons from March 5, 2003 to October 14, 2007.[1] The show centers on 25-year-old Jack Ryder (voiced by Don McKellar), recently graduating with a degree in sociology, signing up for an agency called Odd Jobs, who assists the titular character with a temporary employee position every episode. These odd jobs range from being a corpse-in-a-terrorist-drill to a royal time-keeper, to a king crab fisherman. Despite the show's presence on the network, it is known for having a number of episodes that are hard to find.
The only form of official physical release was the Complete Season 2 DVD set, released in 2006 and published by Morningstar Entertainment.[2] Duopoly, the show's Canadian production company, licensed the show to the United States streaming service Hulu on January 11, 2011, amongst other various Canadian series for the service.[3] However, the show has been taken off the platform circa 2015.
A majority of the episodes online are sourced from recordings of a dub on the Russian channel 2x2, broadcast as Джек на все руки мастер (roughly translates to Jack is a Jack of All Trades). 38 out of 52 episodes of the original English language series were considered lost, while 11 of the 52 episodes remain partially found through 30-second to 1-minute recap videos directly from the show's website.
On June 6, 2024 screecasts of the last two seasons from back when it was on Hulu were uploaded to the Internet Archive, although these feature multiple flaws, such as seeking, buffering, and the Hulu GUI showing at times, as well as the original ads.[4]
