Mental Block
Mental Block is a Canadian children's comedy TV series, which premiered September 1, 2003 on YTV. It is directed by Sean Dwyer and Michael Kennedy.
The show revolves around 13 year old, Donovan Mackay. His mom and dad seem to be going through a second adolescence, while he's going through his first. His best friends, Ira and Shelley don't even register on the 'cool meter' at school. His main crush, Chloe, is so far out of his league she doesn't know he's on the team. Luckily, Donovan has four teenagers living inside his head - Sparks, Maynard, Skipper and RJ. Their mission is to get Donovan through another adventurous and unpredictable day as a teenager in suburban Greenfield Park Junior High. The show is filmed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
In the second season, Donovan himself is seen inside his head, and the other kids help advise him instead of directly controlling him. Also Maynard is gone.[citation needed]
Episodes are no longer being filmed. Twenty-six episodes were filmed spanning two seasons, the last episode airing on November 1, 2004. Erik Knudsen, who played the lead character, has gone on to do other projects.
