The absolute best, "must see TV" this summer

[Fore Check]

I should have posted this on Tuesday when the tournament and televised games started, but I was too glued to the set.

The World Cup of Hockey on ESPN2 is on right now, USA vs. Russia. NHL hockey rules apply.

You get CBC?!?!?!?!?!???

I'd pay an extra $10 a month on my satellite bill for CBC alone,,,,,

I live on Lake Huron and the signal shoots right across the lake!

Actually I get the CBC on 5 different channels (antenna!) although 2 are French.

The upsides...Red Green every day at 12:30 (lunch hour!) an occasional movie (when there isn't a hockey game...but there's ALWAYS a hockey game!)

A slightly different slant on the world news.

Canadian politics can be confusing but...one thing the Canadians do that we should do.

If OUR legislatures would boo and stomp their feet more U.S. politics would be funnier.

Red Green's awesome, didnt they make a rocket once? I may be thinking of a different show, but I love the one where there is natural gas below a golf course

Absolutely! Their all-time best bit was "The Great White North with Bob & Doug McKenzie." Pure genius.

The spin-off movie (Strange Brew) still cracks me up.......

Man, I loved Kids in the Hall!!! I used to live about 20 miles north of Detroit, and I miss CBC...lol

Once every four years for each party just isn't enough entertainment value. After all, government IS the entertainment branch of business. We deserve more.

I guess that's why Jon Stewart is such a hit. He fills the void. People may disagree on what he fills it with (of which the same could be said of aforementioned legislatures), but fill it he does.

"The Republicans open with a Terminator, who passes of to Cheney with an "America safer". Hand off to the Swift Boat Guys -- OOOOH they drop it because they're not really there! Kerry picks it up and drives down court with a "misleading" followed by a "Vietnam". Bush intercepts with a "September11September11September11September11September11". OH NO! McCain runs out from the sidelines and gives them both a head smack for playing silly buggers, and runs back to the Republican side but nobody is sure if that's right. "
