who else dislikes canadian programming

You really don't know much about Canadian TV apparently.

I am a Canadian aswell, and no I don't like Canadian T.V.
I'm sorry, and I really don't mean to insult anyone, but I find Canadian T.V. to be hokey and dull. Also I find shows like Corner Gas to show Canadians as dimwitted hicks (with bad teeth).
I've been complaining about Canadian T.V. for a long time now.
I will admit that I loved both Degrassi Junoir High and Degrassi High, but this Next Generation crap? Come on!
I also was a huge fan of Road to Avonlea for the first 2 seasons.
Gus Pike is the best Canadian character for a mile!(or km).

La la la...linoleum!

Canadian TV sucks nowadays, but it used to be awesome. Remember Kids in the Hall? SCTV? Hell, even Red Green was funny back in the day.

But then, we don't make as many TV shows as the US. Sure, if you produce 100 shows a year, you're bound to get a few good ones. Canada can't do that, cause the creative are poor and the rich are media illiterate (proof: Popcultured). So before calling Canadian TV crap, look at the mass of shows Fox has produced and cancelled in the last 2 years.

The kings of TV, obviously, are the British though. They know comedy.

We definitely don't have the best TV in the world, but we also don't have big budgets and a huge population, both of which impact our television output.
That said, we do have lots of great shows (in my opinion).
Corner Gas is hilarious, Degrassi was fantastic (I wasn't as big a fan of the newer ones, but they were popular outside of Canada as well as in Canada). The Anne of Green Gables stuff was iconic and entertaining. The Kids in the Hall was hilarious. Trailer Park Boys, although not my taste, have been immensely successful.
Shows like Ready or Not may have been the world's best, but it was an enjoyable coming of age show.

SCTV also needs to be noted as entertaining, as do Mr Dressup, My Secret Identity, Fraggle Rock, Littlest Hobo, You Can't do that on Television, Breaker High, Nikita. Up Schitt's Creek also looks funny.
Considering our population is a tenth that of the US, that means our likely output of talented filmmakers is likely a tenth of theirs so no wonder we have fewer good shows. I think we're improving as times goes on (although I admit I do still enjoy the cheesy 80s Canadian shows)
