70) Hockey Night in Canada (1952-present): ...leaving this off the list of Canadian TV shows just wouldn't feel right

71) The Tommy Hunter Show (1965-1992): This was the longest running nationally broadcast country music show in North America. I remember my parents and their friends wouldn't miss this week after week and it was definitely a staple on the airwaves for many, many years. There were numerous guest country stars over the years, a vitual who's who of the world of country music in the era. The show had a real good wholesome down home feel about it too.

Ah, more gifted and funny Newfoundlanders!

74) The Friendly Giant (1958-1985): What Canadian kid from the late 50s through the early 80s doesn't recall the sweet-natured Friendly Giant (played by Bob Homme) and his puppet friends Rusty the Rooster, who played an harp and lived in a book bag inside the Giant's caste and Jerome the Giraffe who dropped by to visit. Music and friends was usually the theme of the day. The puppeting was done by Rod Coneybeare. The show was a throwback to a simpler time or it sure seemed that way. A children's show classic!

Look up! Way up!!

75) Just For Laughs Gags (2002-present): This is basically an hidden camera practical joke show where we witness practical jokes being playing on unsuspecting people throughout Quebec mainly. It usually doesn't feature any real dialogue most likely because it would be in French if it did and the way it is now, anyone practically around the world can watch and feel they're in on the jokes/gags. This show is sometimes extremely funny producing belly guffaws of laughter from yours truly. Some of the same familiar jokesters appear on many episodes and aren't afraid to dress up (in police uniforms, nun outfits, whatever have you) or sometimes dress down (in states of partial undress) to pull off the pranks. Some segments were filmed in the UK and Mexico as well.

76) Strange Paradise (1969-70) Canada's answer to Dark Shadows: a Gothic horror serial.  Half-hour episodes featuring lots of Voodoo, a tragedy, mysterious servants prone to giving meaningful looks, ghosts, a family curse and (if I am remembering the right show) a white rabbit randomly hopping by?  It started out in a looming plantation house on a Caribbean island and when that burned down the setting was moved to the equally looming ancestral home in Canada.  Far creepier than Dark Shadows.  Great fun!

I have been assuming Sanctuary and Lost Girl were too new to have proven themselves worthy of listing yet. What does everyone think?  

Also: has anyone mentioned Andromeda (2000-2005)?  I have lost track.  Lookingup

No, Andromeda hasn't been added yet. I'm going to update the list on the first page now.

Great additions btw guys and gals. I used to watch STRANGE PARADISE in reruns on the old Scream channel. I had been thinking before that ROAD TO AVONLEA while not really my kind of show really should be on the list so I'm glad someone added it. I'm not terribly familiar with the rest but they all seem to have pretty good reputations.

82) Rocket Robin Hood (1966-1969): Strange, bizarre Canadian cartoon classic featuring Robin Hood and his Merry Men as space adventurers was a mainstay on the Canadian TV airwaves for many years. No this wasn't fantastic but it was so weird and different it was memorable and it was fun to watch. While partly American, I think most people associate this one with Canada. Many Canadian kids grew up watching this. I loved it myself.

83) The Starlost (1973-1974): Yeah, I know this one has been criticized by many due to studio interference. Still I really enjoyed the show as a kid and it's largely responsible for turning me into a huge Sci-Fi fan being one of the first Sci-Fi shows I watched even if it was in reruns. Some episodes are actually pretty solid and interesting IMO and the concept overall was great, it was just the execution at times that was flawed and the limitations put on the writers, etc.. Still IMO the show was a lot of fun!
