The Great Eastern
Best thing I've found in ages, someone has put up all of the episodes of The Great Eastern online in MP3 format. Link.
I would have been about 14 when the show started, and when it first started CBC gave no indication that it was a fictional comedy show, so I remember having that head-scratching 'is this real?' moment for a while when it first came on.
The writing was always really clever and the fanciful way they painted an alternate-universe history of Newfoundland was brilliant.
Go listen.
