Original question by @Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world

Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they're favourite show was and they'll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.

Does anybody like the Red Green Show outside of Canada?

    How about Kids in the Hall? Best ever Canadian show by far.

    Aussie here that's watched all of Corner Gas a couple of times, due to a recommendation from a Canadian friend. No-one else here has heard of it though. Big fan.

    You guys watch Trailer Park Boys or FUBAR over there? If not you should. Canadian TV at its highest caliber.

    Also Kenny Vs Spenny.

    I watched Trailer Park Boys on a recommendation from a co-worker many years ago. I'll have to look up FUBAR. I espouse the joys of Letterkenny to anyone that will listen. I'm the wrong person to ask about what Australians in general watch, though. They all seem to only watch the likes of Married At First Sight and Master Chef. Ugh. I've always kinda just gone my own way.

    watched both growing up.

    I didn't get the red or green in the show but I had a black and white bunny TV that only got PBS.

    I cobbled it together with hangers, aluminum foil, and tape. after all if the women don't find me handsome...

    I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them "fixing" a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.

    If women can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
