If this show were a person, it would be madly in love with the CBC if it were a person. They would hold hands and skip through flowery meadows as cheesy music plays. What I mean by this is Chilly Beach has CBC written all over it.
It follows the lives of two Canadian friends. Dale and Frank these guys seem to be rather good pals considering their respective favorite hockey teams seem to be knock offs of the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs (Real life adversaries) This is true unless they're discussing hockey, of course. This is one branch of the stereotype of Canadians on which this is entirely based. Luckily, Canadians have the ability to laugh at themselves so this show flies. Fans of other CBC hits such as Air Farce and This hour has 22 minutes will find delight in story lines such as a trip to the beer store and the daily temperature "highs" that are still in the blue. With all the flag waving on part of the Americans lately, Chilly Beach is refreshing dip in a nearly frozen pond.

A CBC cartoon series created by Doug Sinclair and Daniel Hawes, the series is often compared to South Park as a bit of a "tame" Canadian clone that follows the lives of residents of the so named Chilly Beach, a far northern Canadian town on top of an iceberg, where every stereotype imaginable is turned up to 11. Each episode starts with a "this content may be offensive" message (and some of it surely is), but generally there isn't swearing throughout the show and most plots are generally pretty straightforward and are rarely lewd. That said, the show seems to think that by making fun of Canadian stereotypes it gets a free pass to make fun of any other cultures stereotypes, which most of us know today that doesn't really fly, causing many of the side characters and plot lines to truly be offensive. Multiple side characters only "personality" is that they speak in a funny accent and only eat whatever dish is considered the stereotype for the nation they're from. It's just lazy offensiveness really, I'm not sure what they were thinking. Originally started as an online flash animated based show, it was picked up by CBC for 3 seasons; its quality (both in animation and content) never really seeming to improve. There series has some notable celebrity guests as voice actors (Leslie Nielsen and William Shatner come mind) but I only watched the entire first season (and I can't even believe I did that), and then found some later episodes online. Ultimately I wasn't interested, this is one that can likely be forgotten, it was very bad. You won't find it anywhere on Gem, and the cbc.ca/chillybeach url it mentions at the end of each episode now leads to a forbidden error, so seems like someone agrees.
I'm not going to summarize the show, cause it's easy to find a good summary online. I think it's a pretty good show. I haven't watched it in a while, but I do have the Season 1 DVD and I watched it when new episodes would air on CBC.
The show's not always hilarious, and it sometimes feels amateurish, as some of the jokes are kind of repetitive or predictable, but most of the time it's really enjoyable. My favourite character is probably Dale, but I like most of them. I'm interested in seeing the movie, and I can't wait until it finally gets aired, released on DVD, etc. Apparently it's tied up in ownership issues or something?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit filed against this series for copyright infringement. Then again, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone probably wouldn't even bother themselves with this pathetic knockoff...which sadly enough, also happens to be Canadian.
While the animation for Chilly Beach isn't bad, you'd think that the creators of this series could have attempted to make something fresh and original, instead of a toned-down copy of a successful American show. I know someone mentioned that this series is not as rude or vulgar...but isn't that the reason why most people enjoy South Park to begin with?
Do yourself a favor, and skip this "South Park-Lite", and go for the real thing.

I think one of the episodes are a bit funny. I'm sorry if this show got cancelled in 2008.
