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.

    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.

    The Res 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.

    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.

    I would say picnicface. Yes, the powerthirst people. They had one glorious season of sketch comedy. Also a book.

    I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned Dudley the dragon. I’ll always remember you Mr. Crabby tree.

    Definitely all the stuff people already mentioned, but have to mention Workin’ Moms since nobody else has.

    Great show, very underrated.

    So so many from my childhood.

    Edited: Removed Romper Room, I could have sworn it was Canadian, but apparently not. Replaced it with Circle Square (it’s creepy Canadian Cousin)

      If the women don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy
