But that's another story...
Didn't JD Roberts also host Toronto Rocks?
K-Djembe
Kudos on the list. (Especially Trailer Park Boys and Kids in the Hall.)
Don't forget The Friendly Giant. And Corner Gas is pretty damn consistent too.
If the Littlest Hobo is on the Worst List then I might just cry.
That show was GOLD!
Friendly Giant was d'bomb although, when I found out the Giant turned into a surly drunkard that would harrass the CBC for residuals everytime he show was in reruns kind of ruined the illusion for me.
Ready or Not NEEDS to be on the worst list. I could never handle that show.
Same with Camilla Scott... oh and effing Street Legal.
Street Cents is definitly an awesome show if only for the lessons of smart consumerism taught to young kids.
kc
So you didn't like the beachcombers eh?
What's wrong with it eh?
I think Kid's in the hall was the best, although Trailer park boys is ranking high on my list as well.
What about that new show... "Weeds". Isn't that a Canadian production?
JC,
I love Weeds, but I don't think it's Canadian. It's one the best shows I've seen lately, as well as Rent-a-Goalie (thanks leather).
I hate Marketplace because EVERY FREAKING TIME I WATCH IT something I own is extremely dangerous and has been recalled, etc.
Fuck KC, don't ruin that Friendly Giant illusion for me. Good God...too late....room spinning....stomach churning....
Yay! Pammie's seen Rent-A -Goalie! You have to see the one with Phil Esposito on it. Freakin' hilarious.
Ah... for some reason I thought it was Canadian... maybe because it was good.
K-Djembe: JD Roberts is now John Roberts, plastic-haired, Americanized reporter on CNN.
I always thought he was too square and stiff for The New Music. Anything was better than his replacement though- Kim Clarke Champniss. Yuck!!!!!
There's another one on Muchmore channel... about a record label guy. Can't think of the name, but it comes on Saturday's and it's not bad either... as long as it doesn't screw up Football.
(Sigh) last game of the season Sunday. I'm gonna get so seriously loaded, their gonna have to bring a crash cart in as part of the buffet/bar service.
Can't wait!!!
I like the friendly giant because the giraffe reminds me of something on my boyfriend... ha ha.
But I was on Tiny Talent time when I was a kid. My talent was I could sniff a banana up my nose. I still can, but my doctor says don't because I have a build up of potassium in my nostrils.
I might be jumping the gun, but after watching one episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie (I know, 30 minutes of life I'll never get back), I suspect it may be top 10 Canadiana Crapola material.
I've seen John Roberts on CNN with his silver hair and pretend professionalism, he'll forever be JD Roberts to me.
I wonder if we'll see Fables of the Green Forest on tomorrows list???
Smenita: Didn't you also star in an Eastern European porn called "Sniff the Perogie"?
wow- all this speculation about tomorrow's list. The tension is palpable amongst the readership.
I really hope I don't have any kind of performance anxiety tomorrow.
It's a lot of pressure trying to get these posts up every day you know.
K-Dough, please confirm your scandalous ommission, of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, was simply an oversight!
For the love of Billy Van &:
The Count,
Grizelda,
The Librarian,
The Wolfman,
Dr. Pet Vet,
The Midget Count - Guy Big,
The Oracle,
Bwana Clyde Batty,
The Maharishi, and
The Singing Soldier ...
We implore you!
"I like the friendly giant because the giraffe reminds me of something on my boyfriend..."
Like what Smenita... a roid? Hahahaha
please don't be me ...
please don't be me ...
The Friendly Giant freaked me out as a kid. I mean, you are alone in a house with a giant..No parents around, just a freaky looking rooster. Great idea for a kid's TV show!
Dog Gone It: Hilarious House of Frightenstein was actually on my list but lost out to Tales of the Riverbank.
That was just awesome to watch when you are stoned.
Joe Calgary is a dork.
BTW, what's a roid?
Smenita: A roid is that thing that makes it really hard to pull the rubber chicken out of your midget bf's ass during his live circus sex show at the Banana Bar.
Oh no you di-int say that to me!!!
Once again you talk about my midget boyfriend, who is not a midget. And his name's not Squeaky...
I don't know where the Banana Bar is but i would like to go there, especially if they give you free bananas. Like I tole you I can sniff them up my nose. People axe me to do it at parties but I don't because it's kinda gross. I would do it for a joke or for money only.
hey smenita, just think of a roid as nature's ass bouncer ... naturally, they get in your face more on the way out than the way in ...
BTW, that chicken, AND his banana "friends" are in and out all the time- not just for the show!
I'm picturing a 70s style show right now called Smenita and the Pouch.
The premise is that a genetic experiment goes bad and this chick with the brain of hamster is insulted constantly by a mouthy scrotum.
Whaddyall think?
Smenita... I hope your boyfriend doesn't own any Gerbils... their hell on roids from what I hear.
That might fit with your idea for a show though KD. "Squeaky, the midget ballsack, and his famously disappearing Gerbil act".
Not necessarily as seen on TV...
The SC channel.. Smenitas Curse Channel... so maybe thats not necessarily as seen with TB.
K-dough, and you like to think of yourself as an intellectual? How could you not include Front Page Challenge. That show rocked!
Oh, and CBC's coverage of Olympic Men's Diving competitions. I NEVER miss that!!!
This list is so pervertedly wrong, I'm questioning everything I've ever stood for.
The Newsroom, from Ken Finkleman, is certainly in the top 10 and I'd say Numero Uno.
Every other one you got exactly right except #9 which I'd delete, in favour of Newsroom and slot Talking to Americans there.
I'm really, really upset.
Oh, and Falcon Beach?
Chucker- as you well know sir, this is not a democracy, for this is K-Doughhhhhh's Canadaaaaaaaa
(lonnnnnggggg echoooooooooooo)
Sheena: "sitting around all day playing the flute with his cock tied up in a bag."
ahahahahahahahahahahhaha.
homo- you asked "you like to think of yourself as an intellectual?"
Well, I'd rather that than think of you as one, Mr. Everything-Is- About-Boys-in-Tight-White-Shorts.
Tight white shorts? Well, not my favourite outfit, but I guess it could work.
By the way, you never answered my question about how you could leave Linda Evangelista off your list of hot Canadian women.
I mean, I'm gay (I know you might find that surprising), and even I know she should've been number one on there.
Homo- Linda Evangelista is kinda freaky looking for me...facial features are too angular. (Can anyone tell I'm a frustrated make-up artist?)
Everyone..please leave the Friendly Giant alone...you're fucking with my childhood here...this is sacred shit!
And I'm afraid that Chucker has a point...Newsroom was awesome. Ken Finkelman freaked me out a bit though...I used to have a client in the CBC building, and I would meet her there often...Finkelman used to stare at me intensely, and finally introduced himself to me at the table...and didn't really tell me what he wanted from me. Weird.
Linda Evangelista - is pretty.
Friendly Giant - Listen, we're not effing up a memory... he effed it up for you.
Blame the Giant.
He's the one who F*cked up. F*cked it waaaaaaaaaaay up!
Rick Mercer Talking to Americans is one of my favourites beside HNIC.
Leather, your are still working?
RE: Linda Evangelista - my sexy choices did not only consider classic good looks. They were about personality as well.
I know nothing about her...but whatever- if you want me to say I'd do her, I'd do her.
Then again, I'd fuck your purse if you weren't watching it.
K, you are funny.
And your comment just disappeared.
ok it reappeared.
Damn I thought you were talking about the purse comment. Nevermind.
Well, they were both funny.
Back to my TV show list for a sec- I remember seeing the video for The Cure's Love Cats for the frist time on City Limits at 4 in the morning one night in the early 80s wasted on acid. I loved it.
We used to spend hours playing a horrible downhill skiing game on my Vic 20- yes the pre-runner to the Commodore 64 on acid as well. It had a casette tape drive.
Good times...
God, the Vic 20... I had one of those. Do you remember that game with the little mouse who ran around the maze eating bits of cheese? I guess it was the Vic 20 version of PacMan. It rocked!
Yes, it's true, you do need two testicles to impress me. I guess that leaves you out K-dough. :)
Truth be told, I have been shunned by gay men at the Metro Central Y before for possessing the extra large 3rd testicle.
I have seen the vas deferens on your soul!
My soul's not so deferens than yours K-dough.
