My subjective opinion is that in _Steve's list, House was ok for a couple of seasons, but then became shit. Most other US shows are shit. I've not seen any "Canadian" ones - but only because they look shit when they are advertised. I watch the local news, but this is despite it being shit.

Where's the documentaries like "Wonders of the universe", "Everything and nothing"; comedy like "Mitchel and Webb" etc. The US has south park I guess, but what's Canada got? "Corner bloody gas" - what a pile of shit.

I beg to differ. There was a riveting documentary about black footed ferrets in Saskatewan on CBC last night.

I'm surprised to find said animal exists and was actually on the telly last night. I might have recorded that had I known. But even though I didn't watch it, it goes without saying it would have been better had it been done by the BBC and david attenborough.

Well, those ferrets look cute. I shall see if there is a repeat and put it to record.

That's the fellow. Apparently they make great pets.

I had heard that too. When the wife's rats die, perhaps that is the next step.

Canada in all honesty does not have that many celebrities who are celibrities outside of Canada. At the moment I would say Justin Bieber probably the biggest and then you are down to old school like Shania Twain etc........

I think I like hour long dramas more than most people do, in the UK they're crap, people overact and the scripts are awful. Can't stand Doctor Who for example. What was that show about MI5, Spooks? That was painfully bad. I tried to watch an episode of Being Human but I'm afraid the only show with vampires in that I could ever watch was Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.
