As a Canadian ex-pat I am always sure to check out some of the TV offerings from north of the border and usually I am very disappointed by all the shows I see, both in comedy and in drama. Other than "Orphan Black" there hasn't been too much to rave about from my home country on an ongoing basis since the days of Kids in the Hall, etc. Even "Hockey Night in Canada" is not very reliable any more since it moved to the new network with new personnel (seriously, I like George Strombo but as a hockey host he is terrible, terrible, terrible!)

So I was very pleasantly surprised by this show, "Call Me Fitz." I hadn't even heard of it and a friend from Toronto turned me onto it, so I figured why not try it out, and it's great! Very funny and Jason Priestly (a Canuck don't-ya-know) is great as a morally bankrupt car salesman with mental problems/visions.

It really flew under the radar but lasted a few seasons and is well worth checking out!

I remember this show but I am positively definitely not at all glad that I do remember it because it sucked.

Train 48 was an awful daily show with some of the worst story lines and acting I have ever sat through in my life.

I saw it from the first episode and tried to get into it (it was kind of like a soap opera) and I desperately wanted to like it because there are not very many good Canadian TV shows especially comedy wise so I pulled for it but after three weeks I was done, I couldn't sit through another minute of it.

You'd think after that long I'd be hooked on a story line or something but no it just sucked that much and I hated it. The writing was just terrible, even though it was mostly improvized on the spot apparently still they write the stories they don't just make everything up, and it was very bad.

I tried watching again the second season but it had not gotten any better, it was a really awful show.

This show is stupid. It is way worse than Corner Gas even in the end when Corner Gas was not very good any more.

The character is the same Hank character as the above poster seemed to have noticed already too.

I don't like the show mostly for the characters who are not very believable and are just real shallow. I don't even really get the premise how he is supposed to have been cornered into having to run for mayor just to impress his ex girlfriend.

I don't like the acting and the jokes are not very good. This was a real disappointment to me.

It is much better than Hiccups but that show is just terrible, the Brent Butt comedy special was also really awful. Why are they making such bad shows after Corner Gas?
