Name your favorite Canadian TV show?

[Cascadian]

Come on admit you must like at least 1 or 2 shows from Canada. I have 3 of them I do like. The shows can be past and present shows.

1. Due South
2. The Hour Has 22 Minutes
3. Da Vinci's Inquest

I started watching "Da Vinci's Inquest" when I was in Seattle and able to catch the CBC on cable. Glad to see it is syndicated in the states.

[enigmatic]

30. you have mine

good call..

[purr]

45. You got it!

I LOVVVVVVVVE TPBs.

[book lady]

3. I watch the Rick Mercer Report,

I also watch Coronation Street on Sunday mornings but don't tell anyone about that...

[Cascadian]

4. But Coronation Street isn't Canadian is it?

I think the reason the CBC puts Coronation Street on is because they want to appease those old folks in Canada that still think Canada is part of the "Brritish Empiyah!!!" Keeping in touch with Mother England or whatever.

22. You are right, it isn't Canadian,

but I like to see who Sally is going to sleep with next. :)

[Tripper11]

27. Not only that but.....

there are enough Brits living and working in Canada to make it worth their while!

[Cascadian]

41. That's true.

I suppose one of the advantages of being a member of the British Commonwealth is the easier ability for people from Britain to move to Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

[AngryAmish]

5. The Great White North

[EstimatedProphet]

6. The Fifth Estate

Also, This Land, to laugh at the filmmakers.

[khashka]

7. Damn I can't remember the name - help me out.

It was a kid's fantasy show. The kid was in a coma and ended up in an alternate reality where there were no adults. Except his missing spy father who was trying to take it over for the Canadian govt. It was so cool! But I haven't seen it in years and can't remember the name......


Also "The Newsroom" - that show was so brilliant.

Khash.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

14. The Odyssey

[khashka]

21. Yep, that's it!

Thanks :)

Khash.

8. Royal Canadian Air Farce

And This Hour has 22 Minutes. There used to be a very funny program called Bless Me Father but it's gone now.

[terrya]

9. Corner Gas

I wish it could be broadcast in the States. Great show.

[One_Life_To_Give]

10. Red Green n/t

[BrotherBuzz]

47. Red Green Show

I love that show! I can't wait for season 6 :)

[Patiod]

12. SO has been on a "Kid's in the Hall" binge

He makes me get up and dance to the theme song (I kid you not).

So Kids in the Hall isn't on my list right now.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

15. Forever Knight

Not actually my favorite, but I thought it deserved *some* attention on here.

[u4ic]

16. Made In Canada

was hilarious in its first few seasons. http://imdb.com/title/tt0172754/

I also like Kids in the Hall and SCTV.

Nobody mentioned Hockey Night in Canada yet?...wouldn't be on my list, anyway :evilgrin:

[Lisa]

17. I wonder if Mercer will have an election edition tonight?

Looking forward to this!

[Love Bug]

18. I'm surprised noone's mentioned LEXX

[khashka]

19. That was a Canadian/German coproduction

later British/German. It was indeed good.

Honestly, I preferred Tales From A Parallel Universe - the four movies that started it. It was sickly sexual and hilariously funny.

Khash, I Worship His Shadow.

20. Red Green

If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find you handy! ;)

:-)

That was my guilty pleasure in the 1980s.

[flamingyouth]

31. Me too!

It's on The N (Noggin) now. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

34. Degrassi was a childhood institution.

Good stuff.

[Aristus]

39. When I was a kid, we used to get broadcasts of a British comedy

show called "Dave Allen At Large". It was kind of a sketch comedy show a la Monty Python. Some of the sketches were hilarious. Allen would also do comic bits from his stage chair before a live audience. I loved it. It was English, I guess, not Canadian, but we got it from Canadian TV.

When I was in my late teens, I loved DeGrassi Junior High. The stories and the acting were much better than any similar show from the States could ever be. I had a crush on the girl who played Caitlin.

B-)

Red Green: Yes, I did. And did you know that, at some point, every great civilization collapsed? Connection, perhaps?
