I had NO idea anyone outside of Canada knew about that show. It was my favourite show as a kid.

[gmoney]

7. Is that how Canadians spell "favorite"?

I can never keep the differences straight...

Would X-Files count? It was largely filmed in Vancouver, IIRC.

16. None. The few Canadian shows I have seen are pretty dull.

I haven't seen any of the shows mentioned in the OP, however...in fact, I never heard of them.

20. SCTV was consistently funnier than Saturday Night Live in its hey day.

:-)

sketch comedy, great impersonations, really good, off the wall comedy show.

[old mark]

23. I forgot about that show - to be fair, I only saw it a few times, and

probably never a full show, but that was very funny.
I stand corrected - They had one good show.

17. SCTV, The Kids in the Hall, Maniac Mansion

Both SCTV and Maniac Mansion featured Joe Flaherty, widely considered the Laurence Olivier of Canada.

[Chan790]

18. I recently discovered one called "Durham County"

It's about a former Toronto cop who retires to a small development in the middle of nowhere (literally, there is a 360'-degree shot in the first episode where you can see that the cul-de-sac is bordered on all four sides by high-capacity power-line towers off in the distance) after his partner is murdered and his wife recovers from stage-4 cancer, only to find himself in the middle of a sex-murder spree.

Oh and he's just about the most corrupt TV cop hero ever.

[where my Peeps at]

19. SCTV...LOL...it's all I know!

[Pharlo]

22. "Due South"

and "The Red Green Show"

[PassingFair]

25. DeGrassi....

What can I say? I have two teenage daughters,
and I watch what THEY watch!




What's a looney?

Aboot two doughlars.

[pitohui]
