Answer 3

for the most part it's the same as tv in the states - we get corner gas and stuff, but for the most part, it's the same....

Answer 4

I think that it is mostly US content beamed into Canadian TVs, Canadian pick up US networks via cable and Satellite.  Canadian Television stations broadcast US tv shows, but there are rules for Canadian content, a certain percentage of content has to be Canadian.  News programmes can make up for a lot of this, but there are Canadian production companies.  As years go by these Canadian productions get better and better, many being syndicated in the US.

Answer 5

i was recently in Canada, and noticed that the commercials were quite different.  lots more humor, and lots less s*x was used.  

we had cable, so most of the programming was the same, although there was lots more curling.  :-)

but, there's a commercial with a family in a van, driving down the street, and a cat runs out in front of the van.  in the Canadian version, mom says, "watch out for the cat."  in the American version of the same commercial, the dog says, "get the cat."  i expect that in a few years, the American public's morals will have declined sufficiently that it'll be one of the kids saying, "get the cat."  gee, i sure can't wait.  how 'bout you?
