Canadian TV

[PNGwynne]

I just received the Ovation Channel and am enjoying Murdoch Mysteries, and I was a fan of Wind at My Back. But I always seem to discover these series piecemeal and after the fact.

Are there any other Canadian series that folks here enjoy? I recall Mutant X and several Alliance Atlantis shows that I liked, such as Beastmaster.

Alliance Atlantis did Starhunter, and I liked that show. I think my favorite Canadian show was SCTV.

As a Canadian, I'm ashamed to admit that my knowledge of Canadian TV shows is very sparse. I blame that on spending most of my life living 10 minutes away from Buffalo, NY, so the US TV stations came in much better than the Canadian channels, so American TV is was! Other than silly kids shows (e.g. The Friendly Giant, Mr. Dressup, etc. ) the only Canadian shows I really watched was stuff like SCTV and Bizarre. As far as new Canadian shows go, I really enjoy Schitt's Creek, that's about it. I'm a shame to my country.

I used to really like Schitt's Creek, but at some point I lost interest, and stopped watching.

See, I've never even heard of Schitt's Creek. It sounds funny, I love Catherine O'Hara.

I enjoyed Slings and Arrows a lot.

Schitt’s Creek is available on Netflix. It’s popular and I hear that it’s quite funny.

Seeing Things with Louie Del Grande was one of my favorites growing up, but it probably isn't possible to see it.

A couple of episodes are on YouTube, I love all the city scenes, 80s Toronto.

lol We did, too. I had no idea it was Canadian, but I was slow ion the uptake with SCTV, too.

For newer shows I really like Orphan Black and Baroness von Sketch Show (all female sketch comedy show).

I think Schitt's Creek is okay, but I think O'Hara, Levy and Chris Elliott are three of the funniest people ever, so it's probably impossible to do a show that lives up to my expectations of what they could achieve.

Yeah, I share this. I think the show is fine but I adore the entire cast and I guess I thought I'd be gaga for it. Weirdly my parents love it and boy did they moan when I turned on SCTV or Get a Life.

It's filmed like 20 minutes north of my house, I've always wanted to go up there and see if I can get an autograph or two.

You Canadians should not be complaining about your TV programming. At least it’s not Mexican programming, nothing but lame telenovelas, stupid insipid game shows, flyweight/bantamweight/lightweight boxing, and their boring mediocre league soccer.
