[1] The Vacant Lot was originally extended for another 13 episodes, which were scripted but never filmed when new president of the CBC Perrin Beatty wanted to phase out of edgy comedy programs in favor of lighter fare such as This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
Unlike The Kids in the Hall, The Vacant Lot consists of filmed sketches that were screened to a studio audience.
CBC sold the show to Comedy Central, which did not air the episodes until July 1994.
[2] The Vacant Lot was shown as a Fourth of July marathon on that network.
[3] The show's other cast members were Rob Gfroerer, Vito Viscomi, and Paul Greenberg, where they originally started as a trio until they met McKinney at a party.
