For me it’s Corner Gas. I still think it’s pretty funny and there’s a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn’t be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.

I have only seen a bit of the animated version in waiting rooms.

    The Red Green show. Used to watch it on PBS with my dad when I was a kid.

    Kids in the Hall 100%, I know it was popular stateside and if corner gas has dated references, it absolutely does, but it’s an absolute classic and some of the recurring bits still pop into my head from time to time.

      I suspect we’re of similar ages, since I had to scroll down this far to find Due South.

    I just started rewatching This Is Wonderland on Tubi.

    Other than that, mostly ones that have already been mentioned plenty, but I’ll call out Due South and Murdoch Mysteries as big ones.

    I had a girlfriend who worked in the Vancouver film and TV industry (mostly as just a low level P.A. But eventually getting some Accounting work on tv series, etc…)

    So when I think of Canadian TV I automatically think of the CW DC shows (Arrow, Flash, etc…) as well as a crazy amount of mid-budget sci-fi (Andromeda, Continuum, etc…). most of which was all filmed in Vancouver sharing the same pool of Canadian “that guy” actors.
