Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc… While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven’t come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?
Never watched myself but I heard Schitt’s Creek was critically acclaimed.
Feel free to add others not in the original crosspost. And thanks again to https://lemm.ee/u/oneofthemladygoats@lemmy.ca for creating this community!
Absolutely my pleasure! :)
Your mention of Strange Brew caught my eye, it’s such a good movie! Have you ever seen any of the SCTV Bob & Doug sketches? They also have a christmas song that gets played regularly here lol. Beachcombers is another classic that I don’t think anyone mentioned in the previous thread; although I personally haven’t watched many episodes at all, it’s pretty popular with older generations. And if you like TPB, I’d suggest checking out the animated show, it’s too funny. They also redid the regular series as animated cats LOL, you can access those episodes if you subscribe to Swearnet.
EDIT- oh, I forgot to mention, I would suggest you check out Made in Canada! I’m not sure if CBC Gem is available for Americans, but if it is, it’s very much worth the 5 bucks a month to access their back catalogue for shows like this. It’s a show featuring Rick Mercer, who is an absolute Canadian gem himself :)
