Getting Along Famously

Life's a Variety Show

Getting Along Famously, sees the hilarious Debra McGrath and Colin Mochrie as Kip and Ruby, the stars of the hit 1964 CBC variety show It's Ruby and Kip. McGrath stars as Canada's sweetheart, the multi-talented, self-promoting Ruby Kendall, while Mochrie fills the role of Ruby's composer/musician husband Kip Delany.

From the backstage and on-stage production antics of a variety show that has slipped from its No. 1 spot on the network, to the roller-coaster lives of the duo, Getting Along Famously continues to bring viewers into the precarious world of Canadian show business in a rosy-coloured but slightly hazy vision of the 1960s. The series is indeed evidence that life is a variety show.
