Um I've heard The Tudors is Canadian (is it?), I've never watched it, but have heard plenty of good things about it.
Not for everyone, but Trailer Park Boys definitely has its appeal to many.
I don't have cable anymore, so I must be out of the loop on what Canadian TV shows are even out there right now.

The Tudors is a joint Irish/Canadian production but really it just gets Canadian funding like a lot of shows do so they are not usually recognized as Canadian television and probably wouldn't count for Canadian content by the CRTC but I don't know how their rules work specifically. CBC likes to do this now and basically just sends funds off to collaborate with bigger studios from other countries to help pay for their productions which then gets CBC the rights to show the shows on CBC.
Why is it that the shows considered successful like Corner Gas and Trailer Park Boys are all shows celebrating rural/low income sort of facets of the country?
