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.
Loved that show.
Every episode is on their YouTube channel ;)
Trailer Park Boys
Way she goes
Way of the fuckin’ VLC machine?!?
Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn’t.
Letterkenney
I had to scroll way too far to see this.
FUCKING EMBARRASSING!
Don’t forget the Jim’s are real beauties.
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.

Raymond Somer, is that you?
SCTV, specifically Bob & Doug. SCTV was asked to add two minutes of explicitly Canadian content to an already very Canadian show and the result was the Great White North and the Mackenzie brothers.
Along with SCTV, Bizarre and Kid in the Hall were god damned hilarious! They were like a maple flavoured Monty Python.
I forgot about Bizarre. God I miss Super Dave.
Oldest: Kids in the Hall (You want something to drink? You want a beer, or do you want to drink out of the toilet like I do?)
Older: Red Green Show (Remember, you may have to grow old, but you don’t have to mature.)
Recent: Trailer Park Boys (I’m not the kind of person to say atoadaso, but you know what? Atoadaso. A fuckin atoadaso.)
Newest: Shoresy (Your mum’s twat’s so swampy not even Duck’s Unlimited will touch ‘er.)
If the women don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy
Trailer park boys. I think it’s the only Canadian show that has really exploded outside of Canada all the way to Europe. It’s also so revolutionary. I always hear about how original the UK office was with their mockumentary style, yet trailer park boys did it first.
Anyways, I would rather shove hot needles up my urethra then watch a full episode of corner gas.

You’re saying you’ve never tried thermalgesiaphilic sounding?

Great list, i will also add
- Reboot
Ack! How’d I forget that one!? I even have it on DVD
I’ve been rewatching that one recently.
I suspect we’re of similar ages, since I had to scroll down this far to find Due South.
“You know we just took out seven guys? One more and you qualify for American citizenship.”
Agreed. Sad I had to scroll that far. Most of the others are obvious.
Also, how come I’m not seeing “North of 60”!
Jonovision was great! I also watched Street Cents regularly. I think it was on around the same time
All those but not Switchback?
I’ll never forgive Switchback for sending me Boggle when I specifically won Jenga, and calling me Paula instead of Paulo.
Come to think of it, that’s probably when I subconsciously decided that someday I would drop the “o” when I was old enough.
Can’t talk now, watching Switchback!

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Reboot!
That’s specifically Canadian?
Edit: I have no clue, I just assumed it wasn’t because…I don’t know why. Regardless, great show.
Yup, it was made in Canada.
Huh, that’s one new thing I learned today.
Any of those cgi animated shows from the 90s were most likely Canadian
The donkey kong show was Canadian as well
Wow. I had no clue. I will have to look into this more and see what else was Canadian.
Is beast wars on the list?!
produced by Mainframe Entertainment of Vancouver, British Columbia;
Yes
Shit. I was sort of joking. I’m going straight to that list now. Thanks for letting me know. On a side note, I miss that show. Should pirate it.
Edit: looking at it right now. Wow, it’s really quite the list.
That’s what I think of
Someone below reminded me of Letterkenny, it is definitely full of Canadian culture. There’s Murdoch Mysteries which has lots of historic Canadian sites. There’s Trailer Park Boys, and lesser known was Psy-Factor (?) which was a Canadian X-Files.
Ahhh, Kids in the Hall is it.
I probably have seen some of the other stuff on TV at some point, but that and SCTV are all that come to mind, and SCTV I never saw back then, it was only after the internet that I finally saw some, so I don’t know if it counts for what you’re asking.
Kinda strange considering how many of the SCTV cast are on my list of favorite comedic actors.
Anyone remember Kenny vs Spenny??
