Username, I will gladly join you in the RoD thread! It's my favourite Canadian TV series. We can gush about Allan Hawco's hotness in a T-shirt (or out of it...). He did a guest appearance on Strombo a couple of years ago, and was trying to teach George how to speak Newf. It's hilarious - I'll see if I can find it on Youtube, and post the link. I have a fondness for Eastern Ontario - my husband's parents live in Perth, and I lived in Ottawa in my formative years (i.e. my 20s :-) ).

Yay! I only wish I looked like her - she's pretty hot! I loved BSG, so many years ago when I was casting about for a username, I thought of that one.

Oh, gosh - I don't think anyone's offended! It just seems like some Americans think we all say "eh", and most of us don't. We don't really say "aboot" either; it just sounds that way to American ears. I'm sorry if you thought offence was taken. I think the Canadian thread is a nice idea :) Oh, and many years ago, I used to work with the father of Munro Chambers, who plays Eli on Degrassi. And I will certainly visit the Canadian thread once there's something worth discussing that can't wait until the next day!

Multiculty :D My husband's parents live in small-town Eastern Ontario. When we visit them, we often remark at how odd it seems when everyone at Canadian Tire or the grocery store is Caucasian!

Well, I think many Canadian TV shows are pretty good - Republic of Doyle, Flashpoint, Remedy, Rookie Blue, Orphan Black, to name only a few. Pearlite, where do you teach? What subject? And I love butter tarts *drool*

Stuart! He was so sad, I was almost in tears when he was cleaning up the ruins of his store in a desultory fashion. I am also glad that he found his niche with Howard's mom. The train station scene made me a little misty also. Leonard really does care about Sheldon, despite everything.

YES! I agree with Billy (however, I liked Finding Nemo, too!).

The gun that Fury gives Coulson is the same type that Coulson used in Avengers - that is, until he got shanked by the Asgardian Mussolini. I love Patton Oswalt, even though when I hear his voice, I can't help but think of Remy in Ratatouille :D

Adrian Pasdar = awesome.

I think many Canadians don't realize that several popular shows (at least, judging by their Internet buzz) are Canadian - Lost Girl, Continuum, Haven, Orphan Black are a few that come to mind. I don't watch Orphan Black, but that's only because I don't have cable and thus don't get the Space channel, and also I have other shows, and a very long list of books to read, competing for my attention :D (not to mention my kids!)

I'm another Canadian; I live just west of Toronto, in the land where Hurricane Hazel rules (GTA folks will understand that :)). I pronounce Toronto just like it's spelled, or maybe "Tronto", not "Trawna". The only people I knew who pronounced it "Trawna" were my grandparents, who were rural-Ontario born and bred. I started watching Y&R in 1988, my first year of university, and continued to watch for maybe 10 years, until I was working full-time. Lost track of it for several years, and then started watching again two or three years ago. My mother-in-law has watched it from its beginning. As far as Canadian TV shows, I must recommend Republic of Doyle. It's about a father-and-son private investigative team, and it takes place in St. John's, Newfoundland. It's a great show, lots of action car chases etc., and the scenery is simply stunning. And Allan Hawco, the star/writer/producer, is a hottie too ;) Oh, and Russell Crowe guest-starred on it a couple of years ago!

Aw yeah!
