Searching for the above link I found that the series is now on DVD. Thank you to whoever started this thread.
Holy cow - I thought I was the only one who ever remembered that show! Thank you!

How could you forget the terrible CBC Drama He Shoots He Scores, bad acting but had hockey and best of all nude breastesses!

Damn, totally forgot about this show, but I loved it back in the day!

Also I just thought of another: Newsradio, before Phil Hartman was killed. After that it was never quite the same. Lovitz was an OK replacement, but it was like the show died with Phil. Weird thing was I was never a PH fan at all, not on SNL, and not on Newsradio at the time. Looking back though he had found a near perfect character to play in that role, and it surprised me how much the show seemed to suffer with his loss.

It was immensely popular here, and the UK, which makes sense since we have a very similar type of taste in comedy. Kinda makes sense since Mockery and Styles were Canadians as well. I do believe I heard Colin Mockery state in a TV interview that the US rating were very mediocre near the end, and all of the best stuff was always left in the editing room because of the US censors.

However, If the ensemble was Dane Cook, Sara Silverman, and Carrot Top, I am sure the ratings would still be off the hook in the US still to this day.

They still show the Raccoons on Teletoon Retro. Always puts a smile on my face when I flip through and see it on.

And now, for something we all miss:



Or, even more obscure:

I don't exactly miss this, but I remember watching it everyday before school in the early 90s. Pretty sure it was filmed in Calgary?

Yeah, some of my friends in elementary went on that show. I used to watch it every morning while eating breakfast.

There was also the Buck Shot Show. I went on that as a kid (kindergarden or something).

The Golden Girls! I was watching the Valentine's Day marathon on DejaView on Sunday and forgot how funny it was. I remember episodes I had watched as a kid and I'm pretty sure I was too young to be watching it, it was kind of dirty for a show about older ladies.
