Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 My thinking here is maybe get ideas for shows then we can put together a Poll later on once we have the nominations in. The question is whether or not we should open up the field and include things like This Hour Has 22 Minutes or just go with 'sitcoms'. Seeing as how there aren't that many Cdn sitcoms I guess we'd better open up the field.My nominations would be: Made in CanadaThe Newsroom22 MinutesMercer ReportWayne and Schuster??!!?? maybe i shouldn't nominate this one, i've never really watched it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 SCTV hands down the best! also, does anyone here remember Bizarre ? Very funny sketch comedy that was pretty racy. It was kind of like a cross between Benny Hill and Larry from Three's Company . Super Dave Osborne got his start there too. Billy Vann was a regular too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarre_(TV_series) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think I learned about sex from Bizarre. Maybe I just learned about dirty men from Bizarre.TPB has my vote for funniest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Photogeek Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 What about Hatching Matching and Dispatching??? My vote for funniest current "sitcom" for sure... ...also Codco: ...and Twitch City (I need this to come out on DVD): ...and even Corner Gas for sure has its moments. I also vote for Newsroom, This Hour (especially the older ones) and SCTV...oh and Mercer Report...fuck we're a funny bunch aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 The corner gas I saw earlier this week was hilarious. Hank was in jail and the 2 cops were both out with signs and cups trying to raise money to bail him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 what about 4 on the Floor? I loved The Frantics!They did a show last week at Centrepointe Theatre, and one of them, along with Mr. Canoehead, were on a Rogers daytime show.That show got me in the habit of patronizing tractors.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 What about Hatching Matching and Dispatching??? I LOVE that show! I have no idea if they are going to continue with it or not. Go figure ... this place (CBC) is nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 am I the only one who finds 22 Minutes impossible to watch?no joke can be delivered without a coy wink and a nudge and I'm not nearly as fascinated with our politicians as it seems to be. I find it almost unwatchable.I wish I found Mercer funnier too. When he's on form he's great.Put me down for an SCTV vote. Followed by Kids In The Hall and 4 On The Floor. Corner Gas is cringeworthy.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 yeah i haven't seen 22 minutes i quite a while, used to be alright when mercer was on it, but you're right the "Get it?" expressions are painful. and the Mercer Report has it's moments but he's almost too full of himself or something, can't quite put my finger on what it is about him that's a little too muchhe's probably just spent too much time in Toronto. it corrupts everyone after a while (case in point— jaimoe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
