Brisco. While SportsNight wisely phased out the laugh track, it sadly kept Snuffy Walden's score. Maybe bearable watching once a week, but very grating on DVD.

Police Squad!
meh...I'll Fly Away
Twin Peaks

Brisco

This is like being forced to choose between "All I Wanna Do I Make Love To You" by Heart and "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith

Police Squad

We'll start a Canadian theme with Leslie Nielsen.


Hooperman

- I know John Ritter isn't Canadian , but...

- I guess it says something when I remember ridiculous details about the pilot, like the watermelon crashing to the ground and the name of the landlady that was murdered, and the perp confessed-Perry Mason style. Raymond Burr was Canadian. (rimshot) (flying fruit - like the watermelon - hah!

Cupid

I know Twin Peaks was set on the Canadian border. However, Paula Marshall starred in Snoops with Gina Gershon, and Paula Marshall replaced Jessalyn Gilsig in the pilot. Jessalyn Gilsig is you guessed it, Canadian!

Sports Night

Police Squad

Hooperman -
I know it's a stretch, but
Tex Ritter was from Texas, parts of which are in the Canadian River watershed.

Twin Peaks

Police Squad
Hooperman (We're just all having trouble dealing with the mildly cloying earnestness of I'll Fly Away, aren't we?)
Twin Peaks (I'm not sure what the opposite of mildly cloying earnestness is, but I'm pretty sure Lynchian is the closest word in English.)

Cupid - see previous comment on Paula Marshall. If Cupid meets Sports Night along the way, I am in for Paula Marshall quagmire.
