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 are 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.
