Television - Made in Canada

I love Made in Canada and even though I've seen all the episodes multiple times I can still enjoy repeats. I was wondering if anyone else remembers or likes/liked this show.

I think this show is also called An American in Canada, and it airs on PBS. I've seen a couple of episodes, but it's on so late at night that I always forget to watch it.

It's kind of quirky humor. What's up with that guy in the coffee shop who gives the American guy advice?

Actually you're thinking of another show. That show airs in Canada under the name An American in Canada as well. They're two completely different shows.

Okay, I must be confused. Sorry!

Don't worry. There's something about Canadian shows that causes them to use the name Canada in their names.

Indeed...with the exceptions of 'Due South' and 'Train 48'...oh and 'Just for Laughs'. 'Due South' was pretty good, but 'Train 48'?! Just

Oddly, I've never heard of either of these shows...

Sad..

Made in Canada is a wickedly satirical look at the television business. Focusing on a group of producers played by Rick Mercer, Peter Keleghan, Dan Lett, and Leah Pinsent (who incidently is the daughter of Gordon Pinsent, the actor who played Fraser's father on Due South). An American in Canada is a look at what Canadians may appear like to Americans. The American is a stereotypical American...arrogant, dumb, etc. If you get a chance, take a look at either show. As for Due South I still watch repeats on Showcase. It still has me cracking up.
