    UK TV is seemingly obsessed by crime dramas, and so-called "reality" shows, both of which bore the pants off me.

    The volume of US shows we get over here means we get some good stuff, 24, The West Wing, Nip/Tuck, etc. But we also get some crap as well.. (Desperate Housewives, anyone?)

    Give me sci-fi any day; The US and the UK both have a go, but I think Canada makes the best sci-fi...

    Like what?

    A TV series filmed in Canada doesn't Canadians made it btw.

    Hollywood likes to film there on the cheap. Don't know of many Canadian productions though.

    Nice list!

    (I think I can predict Busy's reply tho'... )

    Anyway, that's quite funny, because when I posted I thought Farscape was Canadian, but it turns out its Australian! Doh!

    So I was wrong, Australia makes the best sci-fi...

    Lexx is a Canadian/German production, and didn't suck (...at least the first 3 series didn't suck...)

    I didn't know that Lexx was Canadian/German.

    I really don't see it as important either. Probably because it's not important.

    Yeah I liked Lexx. The Brunin-Gee man..The Brunin Gee. Mantrid....

    I'm not saying any of them weren't produced by Canadians. I'm saying many shows are made in Canada simply 'cause it's cheap. A show and movie can be made in the deserts of the Egypt yet that doesn't make it an Egyptian production.

    That production credit goes to the Sci-Fi Channel and Jim Henson Company.. ..........shot in Australia.

    True. If it's good it's good.

    It sometimes is important 'cause it gives a show a different feel.

    I always figured Lexx wasn't American...but that's partly what made it different and subsequently appealing.

    I don't think where it was made gives a series a different 'feel'.

    Star-Trek, Firefly and Battlestar Galactica are all American productions, afaik, but they each have totally different feels to them.


    Btw, I've watched the first 4 of series one of Battlestar Galactica over the last coupla days -- does it get better

    It's, like, pretty fecking boring atm.
