    Missing the chat tonight so I just thought I'd share some of the finer moments in Canadian TV with yous.

    Rick Mercer is at the top of the list, not just for this though

    They gave him his own show for that and he would go on to do the same to our own.

    I loved Degrassi Junior High when I was growing up. I can still remember the band's song "Everybody wants somethin' they'll never give up.."

    Oh, and was the Beachcombers Canadian?

    My favourite from Rick Mercer was "Made in Canada" ... does anyone know if it's out on DVD yet?

    But still, nothing beats SCTV!

    This is Wonderland was also funny. And Hatching Matching and Dispatching. I really liked both the Davinci series too, but they weren't so funny all the time. Then they cut all the funding and everything has gone to crap, or a lot of it has.

    As you can see, season one's been released. Not the best season IMO, still waiting on the rest. Been waiting for a while.
