Premiering October 24, 1989, this Canadian sitcom starred Kathleen Lasky as newly elected Member of Parliament Karen Collier. A representative of Canada's Dominion party, Karen was answerable to party leader Joe Reynolds (Lawrence Dane), but spent most of her spare time with fellow Parliamentary novice MacGilvary (Damir Andrej) and her caustic next-door neighbor Mary Margaret McCarthy (Jennifer Dale). A bit too "conservative" for most tastes, In Opposition remained in office for only a single season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
