As a video producer, I can only say that I am immensely impressed with the fact that the Canadian government cuts folks like me a break to produce entertainment.

I have been a growing fan of the series The Trailer Park Boys for some time now, and I've noticed that they credit a tax incentive from the Canadian government at the end of each episode. Kudos to the Canadian parliament on that! Excellent stuff.

Any Bubbles fans around here?

That show is incredibly funny.. do they play it in the US of A? Or do you have to use more creative methods to get the episodes...

Most unfortunately there are only two ways to see the show - one by subscribing to BBC America (yes, the BBC carries a Canadian show on American television - go figure). And by that method, you're stuck with edited-for-TV content. Not optimum.

The other way is by purchasing DVDs, which is how I've been lucky enough to see the show - a friend of mine has the first three seasons on DVD.

Of course, neither of these methods allow Americans to watch current Season 4 episodes. Alas, I'll have to wait for that DVD next year sometime.

Still, it will be worth it, I'm sure.
