Canadian actors overact. Canadian writers think in clichés. Darn good thing that US television or British (or Australian, or German, or.......) television doesn't ever suffer from clichés. Or poor acting. What a surprise to hear Canadians bitching about Canadian TV. We should all just watch endless re-runs of Everybody Loves Raymond and Full House and Desperate Housewives, hmmmm? oh my goodness. Canadian actors overact. Canadian writers think in clichés. Darn good thing that US television or British (or Australian, or German, or…….) television doesn’t ever suffer from clichés. Or poor acting.

That said, Canadian television can be just as sharply-written and well-acted as the best American series; think of Da Vinci's Inquest, which has a cult following in the US and can hold its own against any TV show from any country.
