Vodka would do .... So a thread about tv comedy becomes one about "the hair of the dog" ;) .... perhaps this is an apt comment on the state of tv comedy:rolleyes:;) Once you've eliminated the classics, "the wine of life is drawn, and just the lees are left to brag of. :D

I had to look it up to be sure Little Mosque on the Prairie wasn't a wind up, but no... I see it's shown in quite a few other countries as well. Perhaps we should have it here - it can't be any worse than some of the current home grown stuff.

Just watched first episode on You Tube - no worse than anything here and a lot better than some!

Not surprising ... Canadians have a great sense of humour ... with winters like ours you have to:D John Candy was a Canadian:alright: .... and SCTV was a fantastic series ... Candy, Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy, Martin Short ......

You missed Dan Aykroyd, one of the finest.
John was great, I never tire of The Great Outdoors, or Planes Trains Automobiles....

Didn't miss Aykroyd, left him out on purpose 'cause he's an asshole.

And don't forget Uncle Buck:alright:

Some of the early stuff he did on SCTV is great ... altho' maybe a little too Canadian for some tastes.
