A cheap shot from Lee Goldberg:

The show was shot in Toronto and our casting director on MISSING was always touting actors who delivered "powerful" or "unforgettable" performances on SUE THOMAS: F.B.EYE like it was the pinnacle of Canadian drama. The scary thing is, it probably was.

Now I don't watch much Canadian TV myself, but are we allowed to count really good French Canadian drama like La Vie La Vie? Otherwise I'd probably have to go with This is Wonderland which beat out my own comic drama, Naked Josh, for the WGC Award this year. Or perfectly respectable stuff like Human Cargo which is probably too meaty -- and cosmopolitan -- US viewers.

Sue Thomas? Thanks a lot, Lee.

Of course it's Canadian comedy that really kicks ass.

What is it with Canadian "cops and dogs" shows? I remember the Family Channel had RIN TIN TIN: K9 COP too...

If you tell me Charlie Jade is getting a dog, you can forget my spec pitch about the men in grey!

Canada has some great drama. DaVinci's Inquest, Cold Squad - THE show that Alliance Atlantis and Jerry Bruckheimer ripped off to create Cold Case... Traders was great, as was North of 60...
