A guy I work with is from Nova Scotia. Frank is a great guy with a very warped sense of humor. He recently turned me on to a Canadian TV series that is now on DVD. I have rented the first two season so far and I have to say it is hilarious.
Trailer Park Boys. Shot documentary style. It chronicles the lives of Julian and Randy, who live in the Sunnyvale trailer park. They are a couple of not too smart guys who drink so much, swear WAY too much (this show could never make it on US TV), and do a bit too much dope.
The humor is not for everyone. This is definitely rated R. There is a bit of over the top gun violence and Ricky and Julian end up in prison three times in the first two seasons. But with episode titles like "Fuck Community College, Let's Get Drunk and Eat Chicken Fingers", "I'm Not Gay, I Love Lucy... Wait a Second, Maybe I Am Gay" and "A Dope Trailer Is No Place for a Kitty" how can you go wrong by renting it. They make great episodes to watch while working out.
The characters are great. Bubbles, Mr Lahey, Randy, J-Roc, Trevor and Corey. Each one of them sorta remind you of someone you may already know.
Some of the things to take note of are... You never see Julian without a drink in his hand, even when driving, Ricky wears the same track pants every episode and how Bubbles got his name.
You can rent the first four seasons from Netflix.
If you rent it or have already seen it let me know what you think.

Being a Canadian I too have seen many episodes of the show. There was also a movie that was released but I have yet to see it.
Another great Canadian show is Kenny vs Spenny.
