A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

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.

Ack! How'd I forget that one!? I even have it on DVD

[–] VelvetStorm 2 points 3 months ago

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?

[–] BillMurray 1 points 3 months ago

Can't talk now, watching Switchback!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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.
