Chocolate News is pretty damn funny. South Park is still good, most weeks.

 

And, as a sleeper, I really like Corner Gas.

Highest rated comedy in Canadian TV history, won all kinds of awards, yet none of the Canadians I know have ever HEARD of it. It is Seinfeld-esque, in a way. (It isn't like Seinfeld, but the humor comes from the interaction between the characters...it isn't "jokey" at all.) It really is a good show.

I've watched it a few times on WGN and thought it was really well written. But it just seemed like a Canadian show that would never attract an audience here, probably because it doesn't slap you in the face with a laugh track.

Kinda like how the office never got an audience because of the lack of a laugh track, huh? :wallbash:

Nah, plenty of comedy shows don't have laugh tracks (Scrubs is my favorite), but I was just being facetious.

Robot Chicken . . . Midnights on Cartoon Network . . .

 

 

That's a good one. Morel Orel is pretty good, too.
