Weird and interesting TV facts

[Nuytsia]

Don't feel bad. I have trouble telling American and Canadian accents apart, and I'm Canadian.

I must admit, I'm really surprised to hear that Canadian television is shown in Australia. I mean, the CBC always claims that our programs are shown all around the world, but I just thought that was one of those things that they say to make us feel important, like "Santa Claus is Canadian" and "Spelling colour with a U makes us seem cultured."

There's a comedy show they just started showing here called something like We Can Be Heroes and another one called Summer Heights High that seem to be Australian in origin. Are they?

Arthur's a Canadian show? Neat.

Phew I feel better about the accents now!
Hey we busted another myth for you! First school of the air, now this. And spelling colour with a U IS totally cultured!
I LOVED we can be heroes! Watch it! Again, I'm really not sure how it would work for someone who's not Australian, but ...... I'm usually wrong to worry about that. Summer Heights High was good too, but I liked the other one better personally. Some hilarious moments in both. In fact I can't think of any better Australian made TV comedy for a hell of a long time.

Stargate is also Canadian? Whoa! It's not my fav show, but my boyfriend watches it and I don't mind if it's on. It's got the guy playing Khal Drogo in HBO's Game of Thrones! Not sure how he'll be as KD but we shall see.

Oh and YES I think we did used to get 'the littlest hobo'!!! It hasn't been on for ages though - maybe they lost the tapes?
