Canadian TV

I hope this doesn't turn out into a pointless ranting blog, but I do have a pointless rant for today.

What is wrong with Canadian TV?

Years ago, you could identify a Canadian TV show after about 5 minutes of dialog, it was so badly written and awkward. Now the dialog is more realistic, but the shows are DEPRESSING!

Even the ones that are supposed to be comedies are just so sad. I watched the first episode of "At the hotel" today, and now I want to drink until I can't think anymore. I liked the first season of "This is Wonderland", but now I don't watch it anymore because it's too depressing. Da Vinci's Inquest was a great show for a few seasons, then it wandered into the "let's make really bad stuff happen to everyone" land. The new "Da Vinci's City Hall" is all about people stabbing each other in the back, and never had any of the good qualities that made Inquest a good show.

Note to Canadian television writers: Real life is depressing enough, particularly in the Canadian winters. We don't need more reasons to be sad.
