Also, E=NG.
Points for the Coronation Street reference. People in the U.S. often wonder why Canadians know so much about British culture, and then I explain how the CBC is just a puppet organization for a bunch of BBC shows with some weak Canadian content thrown in.

I pretty much had your experience growing up, but I always appreciated the exposure to more adult shows back then. I feel like it helped me to mature faster in some small way. I learned a lot about the absurdity of war and especially the Korean conflict, which doesn't get much attention in the grand scheme of things.

Also, Edmonton is no good.
