Favourite Canadian tv show?

[Enzo]

As I understand it, the 70s "Spiderman" cartoon was a Canadian production (correct me if I'm wrong) And that tune haunts everyone. But I didn't know that RRH was also a Canadian production. Are these cultural highlights?

My ex left me because I stayed up at night to watch these cartoons on Teletoon...

...the fact that her sister was with me had nothing to do with it ;D

Hmmm ... curious ... I found the Spiderman lyrics on the same website as RRH ...
(but, then again, after the Ramones did the Spiderman song ... it just wasn't the same ... although once again my five-year-old loved this song, too)

Spiderman. Spiderman.
    Does whatever a spider can.
    Spins a web, any size.
    Catches thieves- just like flies.
    Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!
    Is he strong? Listen, bud.
    He's got radioactive blood.
    Can he swing, from a thread?
    Take a look overhead.
    Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman!
    In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime.
    Like a streak of light, he arrives just in time!
    Spiderman. Spiderman.
    Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman.
    Wealth and fame? He's ignored.
    Action is his reward.
    To him, life is a great big bang-up.
    Wherever there's a hang-up,
    you'll find the Spiderman!"

You'd be surprised how many american tv shows are Canadian owned or filmed in Canada. The WB (I think thats what it is called) has pretty much all of its shows produced by Canadians and filmed mostly in Vancouver.

No one here likes the Simpsons? I'm surprised...
