Hey, what about the Friday the Thirteenth series? I loved that cheesy-ass series.

Well, this is getting weird.

My second cousin had a recurring role in that TV show.

If someone mentions the videotron commercials, I have a cousin in one of those, too (though I have never seen it, oddly enough). And I know the cute red-headed kid from the francophone McDonald’s commercials from about 8 years back. And my mom works with Tom Cavanagh’s mom… well, for the same school board.

I think that’s everything. No epics there, but still, I’m suddenly impressed at how distantly related to “canadian fame” I am :smiley:

As far as novels go, Mordecai Richler’s Solomon Gursky Was Here is possibly the most epic, sweeping as it does back and forth across the country over the course of a couple centuries.

Of course, how could I have missed this?

“Keep your fork, Duke, there’s pie a-comin’.”

Hey, as long as we’re talking kids’ shows as being “national epics,” * here’s one sure way to tell if someone over a certain age (30? 35?) is Canadian:

“Look up. Wayyyy up.”

If they can supply the next phrase, they’re definitely Canadian. And, how long will it take for someone to identify this one?

  • Though shared experiences they may be, I don’t think they’re “national epics,” but let’s have a little fun.

Some of us Northern NYers dont’s have to be Canadian to know “The Friendly Giant”.

I still think it’s total crap that “The Doodlebops” took “Mr. Dressup’s” timeslot. My brother even had a petition, fighting that programming change. Long live Casey and Finnegan!
