Canada Great Canadian TV Shows

There's nothing better than watching a good Canadian TV show. I mean, admit it. Everyone has watched Royal Canadian Air Farce or This Hour has 22 Minutes at one point in your life.

I really like Rick Mercer's Monday Report and I still watch Due South on repeats on Showcase. Also, Trailer Park Boys and Red Green are hilarious.

So, what Canadian TV shows do you watch?

 

Hockey Night in Canada... *snif*

 

*moment of silence*

Anyway, yeah I'm into some Canadian TV. 22 Minutes was really good but is going down hill lately. Rick Mercer shouldn't have left. That being said I, of course, watch Monday Report...

 

Taking it Off, and who could forget Degrassi, i mean the old Degrassi not the new one

 

Yeah, my sister used to make me watch that growing up... I came to hate that show lol

 

I used to watch Mr. Dressup.

 

Trailer Park Boys all the way!!!


It is the only thing that I watch now. TV sucks without hockey...

The Friendly Giant was a great one too!

 

Corner Gas.

I love that show. I had the opportunity to visit Dog River (Rouleau, SK) and I got on set in Regina. I even saw Brett Butt across the room.

It was awesome!!!

Darth Paul

 

How could I forget Corner Gas? My Dad pratically worships that show.

Ah, yes. Hockey Night in Canada is now... Movie Night in Canada. Gladiator is on tonight.

 

*Checks date of above Post*

That must mean its on tonight

Damn, I wanted to watch that one, But I have to work

 

new degrassi

manny is hot, even though she's only like 14

 

I'm not a big fan of the new degrassi... I did watch part of the episode when they had Kevin Smith guest starring. It was alllllllright, but I feel really old when I watch it since I'm no longer in high school.

 

I don't watch the new degrassi, and even if I would have wanted to see the episodes with Kevin Smith, I couldn't because I had school those nights.


But, I saw some of the old degrassi episodes in Grade 7, at school, too...I think.

 

I think "Bob and Margaret" is Canadian.

 

22 minutes and RCAF. Canadian movies are good too.

 

Yep, Bob and Margaret is Canadian. In fact, if you head to the National Film Board in Toronto you can watch the first episode. It's by far the funniest out of all of them that I've seen, since they didn't have to censor themselves in anyway.

Also, I must agree, Canadian films do rock (well, I kind of have to being a Canadian film student and all). Oddly enough, Blockbuster used to put Canadian films under the "foreign" category in their stores.

And now, a short list of Canadian films at least one person considers 'good': The Sweet Hereafter, Ginger Snaps, Rabid, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, (ok ok, I'll stop just listing Cronenberg films), Resident Evil: Apocolypse (yes, it is actually 100% Canadian, not just shot here), A Christmas Story, Black Christmas, Porky's, Nothing, and countless others.

 

I used to watch Forever Knight and Due South sometimes. They were pretty good.

 

Not a canadian production, but Battlestar Galactica was shot in Vancouver. I recognized the Public library in downtown Vancouver.

 

Antitrust was shot in Vancouver too. My brother in law and sister rented it once and kept pointing things out they recognized. I think they nearly fainted when Simon Fraser was shown.

 

Corner Gas Rules! (Plus it's the only tv show in canada that doesn't suck or spawned off of the horrible CBC)

I used to love watching The Anti-Gravity Room on YTV, and the one years back on TVO - Prisoners of Gravity. It was like the only shows devoted to Sci Fi/Fantasy and Comic Books.

Forever Knight was the canadian first before Buffy and Angel...the show had such potential...then it tanked.

REBOOT is another canuck made fave of mine.

The House of Frankenstein - Cheesy Hamilton show classic.

 

Corner Gas Rules! (Plus it's the only tv show in canada that doesn't suck or spawned off of the horrible CBC)

Exactly!

I also like anything made by Mainframe Entertainment, except Beast Machines.

 

I got to say, about the only thing Canadian that I watch on tv is Much Music. I really like it, but they play repeats waaaaaaaay too often.

 

Trailer Park Boys

 

Bob and Margaret is the only Canadian show that I like.
