halgia February 27, 2014 Share February 27, 2014 EricJ's is presumably Lawst and Order . I posted this a while ago, but it got lost in the flurry: A single dad and his high-school aged daughter move out of the big city (too many witches!) to a haunted house in a Connecticut suburb. Link to comment

Chip February 28, 2014 Share February 28, 2014 Some that have been filling up my brain queue: 1. Like leaves in the Windy City, these paramedics and firefighters take jobs anywhere they can in the goram 'verse. 2. Rumored to be the descendant of Odin but with a father-in-law in the basement, a fearless warrior rises from delivering packages in New York to be the king of his tribe. 3. An 18th century pirate sees a chicken at a women's prison. Link to comment

David T. Cole March 4, 2014 Author Share March 4, 2014 Ryan you have stumped me. I'm guessing there's an iconic Canadian lumber show in there but I can't piece it together. Link to comment
Ryan Bayne March 4, 2014 Share March 4, 2014 Ryan you have stumped me. I'm guessing there's an iconic Canadian lumber show in there but I can't piece it together. I figured the iconic Canadian lumber show is the easy part. The other part is a mid-2000s teen drama produced for both Canada and the US. Link to comment
David T. Cole March 4, 2014 Author Share March 4, 2014 Well the lumber bit is The Beachcombers if someone can fill in the teen drama part. Not my forte. Link to comment

halgia March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 Two working-class couples let off steam from their jobs in the emergency department of a New York hospital by presenting sketches about race relations to the live audience of their run-down Brooklyn apartment building. (Otherwise, they might have to turn to pills or something to get through the stress of their jobs – and their marriages!)Also, I've been stumped on Ryan's for a while, so here's a complete shot in the dark that almost works: Veronica Beachcombars . Otherwise, I guess it's probably something with the Beach part, but.... Link to comment
Ryan Bayne March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 Also, I've been stumped on Ryan's for a while, so here's a complete shot in the dark that almost works: Veronica Beachcombars . Otherwise, I guess it's probably something with the Beach part, but.... It's the latter part. One more hint, it was a Global/ABC Family co-production, so yes, I should have put "Difficulty Level Canadian" in the original post. 1 Link to comment
David T. Cole March 6, 2014 Author Share March 6, 2014 This one is still in play: "Those peanuts aren't French, bitch." Ryan: Falcon Beachcombers Also interesting trivia: It was unique among Canadian TV series in that the producers filmed two versions of each episode. The first was for Canada and uses Canadian geographic references and terminology. The second version was done for the United States and uses American geographic references and terminology.

halgia March 7, 2014 Share March 7, 2014 This one is still in play: "Those peanuts aren't French, bitch." I want this to be something like Breaking Bad Restaurants , if there were such a show as Bad Restaurants (a reality show a la Kitchen Nightmares / Restaurant: Impossible / etc) . Your trivia is crazy; I can't believe they actually did that.... Link to comment

David T. Cole March 10, 2014 Author Share March 10, 2014 MOAR HINT: Break down the wall of your limited thinking about peanuts. While you are mulling over that one here's a fresh one: "This school note from your parents will self-destruct in 5 seconds." 1 Link to comment

Corgi-ears March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 Re Peanuts, the second part is probably Orange is the New Black, no? Because of Possey's "It's French, bitch!"? No clue about the first, though. Link to comment

Tara Ariano March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 I can't guess on Dave's because he finally told me what it is BUT I think it's my turn so: Naive international travelers run into legal problems when they transport contraband for a sexually adventurous Brooklynite and her self-conscious best friend.
