I was devastated when they too "The Critic" off the air. Thank God Comedy Central shows reruns of it! Two other grand shows of old: "Manimal" and "Misfits of Science".

"The ear incident had fans apparently running from the stadium in fear. Why? Did they imagine an outbreak of ear biting taking hold? But the interesting thing about the biting was a bunch of psychologists having to assess whether Tyson was emotionally fit to fight... just how would they go about that? 'Mr Tyson, you've said you want to take your opponent's heart, liver, blood and spleen. You've also said you want to drive an opponent's nose up into his brain. Under normal circumstances this would be quite unforgivable but given that you're a heavyweight boxing champion of the world we'll let it go this time...destroy them but don't bite - it's not fair...'"

Rock To the Top -- now there was a great cable access music program. Hair metal up the wazoo. And then they interviewed a bewildered Radiohead (back in 1993). I would give an arm and a leg for a tape of that now, it was hysterical.

"Whoop-There It Is!"
The host, RJ Watkins.
Surprising, it STILL comes on (in reruns of course). I don't know if you remember "The Dance Show", but that was even more GFab (GhettoFabulous) than "TNDS". But, that's Detroit: Wonderfully Tacky.
Other shows I've seen no one cares I watch(ed):
Sifl and Olly: ROCK! (It was mentioned already, but I had to add my 2 cents)
Buzzkill: Jackass' Redheaded Stepchild (Although Buzzkill was first, it never "hit" Jackass' cruelty level)
MTV Live: With MTV VJ Toby (Remember him?). They used to show this slow-motion tape of a little dog humping the CRAP out of a teddy bear, and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
The Critic: Comdey Central plays the reruns now, but during it's first run, I think I was the only one that kept the show on the air.
Drop the Beat: Although I live the States, due to the fact I live in Detroit, I watch CBC. It was a great Hip Hop show that never get its just desserts. *sigh* This Spring, it was cancelled.
Cleopatra 2525: I don't even want to talk about it. Ok, maybe a little--Girls kicking ASS! Girl Power, WHAT??
The Downer Channel: New show on NBC. It's my kind of comedy, and I feel, because I like it, it will be cancelled.
Maximum Exposure: Intense Real Events shown at 11pm. Who could ask for anything more?
I could add more, but now I'm beginning to believe that I have no life, and that TV has sucked the life out of what's left. *Ho-hum* :)

The birthplace of Super Dave Osborne, yes? "Bizarre" was on ITV over here in the mid-80s. Apart from Super Dave, I'm ashamed to say that I only remember the 'speed bumps = bra tester' sketch.

In other Canadiana, what about Four On the Floor? My sister had a Mr. Canoe Head club at her school! Not as funny as SCTV to be sure, but it has its place.
I also love The Funky Squad, a short-lived Aussie spoof of 70's crime shows. 100% fabulous - they used to show it late on CBC in the mid 90's. Wish I could buy it somewhere!
