18 to Life is a Canadian television sitcom that debuted on January 4, 2010 on CBC Television. The series is shown in Quebec on Vrak.TV with the title Majeurs et mariés.
The show stars Stacey Farber and Michael Seater as Jessie Hill and Tom Bellow, a young couple who decides, on a dare, to get married right out of high school. The cast also includes Peter Keleghan and Ellen David as Tom's parents Ben and Judith Bellow, and Alain Goulem and Angela Asher as Jessie's parents Phil and Tara Hill. The two families live next door to each other and ascribe to the adage that "good fences make good neighbors". Jessie's parents are free-spirited and do not believe in societal constructs of marriage or organized religion. They have a refugee from Iraq living in their basement. Tom's parents are traditional white-collar sticklers for rules. Tom's father is a judge who converted to Judaism when he married and Tom's mother is a homemaker. Jessie and Tom eventually settle into the attic suite of Tom's parents' house as their first marital home and try to balance college, work, and the trials of being young newlyweds. The show is set in Montreal, Quebec.
The following is a list of episodes of the Canadian television series 18 to Life , which premiered on CBC Television January 4, 2010 and on The CW August 3, in the United States.

the honey and raisin cake is not in the song at all.
you forgot the part about there lives being more
pleasent
then there future ones.
This may be a version of "To Life", but it's not the
version from either the play or the movie. In "Fiddler,"
the song is about the wedding of Tevye's daughter.
