Original question by @[email protected]

Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they’re favourite show was and they’ll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.

          Aussie here that’s watched all of Corner Gas a couple of times, due to a recommendation from a Canadian friend. No-one else here has heard of it though. Big fan.

            Along those lines, Kim’s Convenience! Except the last season when the writers gave up or something

        watched both growing up.

        I didn’t get the red or green in the show but I had a black and white bunny TV that only got PBS.

        I cobbled it together with hangers, aluminum foil, and tape. after all if the women don’t find me handsome…

      I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them “fixing” a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.

      If women can’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
