    For me, the greatest Canadian show was "Kids in the Hall". The "Im squashing your head" bit was legendary.

    Yea eh, Corner Gas is very dry humour at times. I've been thinking about getting Corner Gas on DVD myself actually. I wonder if it's on Netflix. I was thinking about getting Netflix again for the 7th time, and hope some good stuff is on there now.

    Seems a lot of Netflix original programming is pushing an certain agenda...except for older series, its become garbage.

    I find the quality always low-fi. I think for the money, you should get high quality movies. My friend says I should get the firestick thing. I don't know, seems like it's always for sale only at the local flea markets, which makes me skeptical. And plugging them into my computer, I am leery about it.

    Are we talking about the same thing? I thought Stranger Things was pretty good.

    David Letterman's show on Netflix is pretty good, I enjoyed the interviews on that. But I felt like Netflix wasn't worth paying for because I already have cable TV. So how much TV can I even watch? At least cable has live sports.

    Netflix in Canada, there are different packages. So the bronze or whatever is not 4k, and some of the old tv shows on there are grainy and pixely. My TV is an old Panasonic 32" so not the greatest..

    Wow, I get back from a week long holiday away from the interwebs and find there's almost 700 active cases just in Edmonton. There was around 200 when I left.
    I had to take my kids to get tested the week that we left, they had a runny nose so they got kicked out of daycare and refused re-entry until they had a negative result. We found out they both came back before heading out of town on Friday but the wife and I had to take shifts watching the kids missing half a week of work again.

    Out in the bush, I've never seen more people out there. Lots of large groups of 6-12 campers together. We were lucky to get a great spot off the beaten path. Had a massive bbq fire the first night, ran out of gas and beer after 8 days, and the crap tank was full to the rim. So we came home on Saturday lol. Discovered a broken leaf spring on the trailer once I got home. Didn't feel a thing. Pics to come.

    I know that The Trailer Park Boys has a cult following in the US. Degrassi aired on PBS back in the 1980s I believe. I think Corner Gas is on MTV. Maybe only MTV Canada.
    Canadian TV is the best. Started for me back in the 80s. You cant do that on Television and Mr. Wizard on Nickelodeon. Then I discovered Red Green, and then Kids in the Hall. Then Dream Car Garage, and then Trailer Park Boys. Then Corner Gas and Letterkenny... I could live off Canadian TV...
