When did Canadian television become so good?

So, today I turned on my tv and it was on CBC.  No big surprise there.  I find myself watching more and more Canadian television.  In fact, the channel rarely changes.  I loved Corner Gas when it was on.  I've become a big fan of Little Mosque on the Prairie.  Dan For Mayor was pretty good.  And now my "new" favourite show, Men With Brooms. 

I don't know why I love these shows so much?  I think it's because the characters remind me a little of myself.  For instance, I think I could move to Dog River, Saskatchewan tomorrow, and fit right in. 

Now last night was a special treat.  It was a double episode of Men With Brooms, and then the "Christmas Special" of Little Mosque On the Prairie (Oh the irony...lol). 

So, Men with Brooms...there are three friends who curl together.  They need a fourth player to make a full team.  Where do they find this fourth player?  At a donut shop.  They see the worker sweeping up a mess and *magic*.  He's the fourth player.  Anyway, this fourth player is accused of being a chronic hobby jumper.  He goes from volleyball to fencing to knitting (lol) to curling to bowling.  Anyway, he reminded me of myself.  I am TOTALLY a chronic hobby jumper!

Now let's see...what have I done this year...geocaching, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, photography, drawing, swimming, running, cooking, squash, the list goes on!!  It's a bad habit...I know!  I love doing things for a month or so, then BAM!  I switch and try something else.  And it's not like I stop enjoying the activity, it's just that something else catches my interest.

Anyway, I reinstated my gym membership today.  hahaha.  Hopefully this hobby sticks around for a while.  I still need to lose my Christmas fat from last year...and probably the year before.

As for Canadian comedies...KEEP THEM COMING!!
