The Vacant Lot was originally extended for another 13 episodes, which were scripted but never filmed. The show was produced by Cynthia Grech, directed by Rob Quartly, and executive producers were Lorne Michaels, Pam Thomas and Jim Biederman, all of whom were producers of CBC's The Kids in the Hall. Unlike The Kids In the Hall, the show consists of filmed sketches that were screened to a studio audience. Show would also have a musical piece each episode and did not have recurring characters.
