Nova Scotia has also produced numerous television series: ''[[This Hour Has 22 Minutes]]'', ''[[Don Messer's Jubilee]]'', ''[[Black Harbour]]'', ''[[Haven (TV series)|Haven]]'', ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'', ''[[Mr. D]]'', ''[[Call Me Fitz]], [[From (TV series)|FROM]]'' and ''[[Theodore Tugboat]]''. The ''[[Jesse Stone (character)|Jesse Stone]]'' film series on [[CBS]] starring [[Tom Selleck]] were also routinely produced in the province.
