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.
Letterkenney
Not a show, but the first thing that came to mind when I read the question is that Canadian ad… the Log Driver’s Waltz.
Red green
Trailer Park Boys
The Red Green show. Used to watch it on PBS with my dad when I was a kid.

I think I’m showing my exact age with a few of these
Great list, i will also add
- Reboot
Ack! How’d I forget that one!? I even have it on DVD
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”!
Continuum.
As an Aussie of a certain age: Degrassi
Kim’s Convenience, $chitt’s Creek.
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.
Not a single “Traders”?
S.C.T.V. for sure.
And when I was younger, The Friendly Giant.
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.
- Mr. Dressup
- Circle Square
- Danger Bay
- The Racoons
- Switchback
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)
The Tommy Hunter Show.
