Thought I would share my enthusiasm for some of the great TV icons we are so lucky to have! Remember how Canadian TV was almost a joke? Low grade and so uninteresting? I Do!

 

I think Merlin Denis is an icon that really helped our Canadian TV into the "talk show" era

 

The Social....much more fun and interesting the "The View" no offence to my American friends...lol

 

Come dine with me...love this show...I wanna be on it!

 

E Talk....love all of the reporters on this show, they "bring it home!"

 

Canada AM....brings our country together as a big family:)

 

What's your Canadian Icon?

A couple come to mind for me.

 

George Stroumboulopoulos and Jian Ghomeshi.

More radio guys but I do see them on TV.

 

Anyone gonna mention Rick the Temp?

Wayne and Shuster

Damn! You beat me to it! Wayne and Shuster it is, and each episode MUST be interspersed with monotonous Kraft recipe commercials.

Oh my... already on page 2 and nobody has mentioned Bruno Gerrusi as Nick Adonidas on the Beachcombers. I wanted to live in Gibson's.

 

Post number 3 .... but Bruno deserves more than one nod in this thread.

 

I grew up with my dad watching the Tommy Hunter show, and who can forget Stompin' Tom's foray into television.

 

On the other hand, Peter Gzowski should probably have stayed on radio.

I don't understand how you can say Canadian TV used to be "low grade". ;)
