I remember that playing on pbs daily in the early 90s. I recall it being folksy Canadian.

I'm watching One Piece on Netflix.  It's both incredibly stupid and satisfyingly entertaining.  It's unlike anything else I've seen.  It's bold, colourful, over the top, nonsensical.  It's a perfect escape in this period in life where I'm being crushed by responsabilities and duties, both professional and in my family life.

I just finished watching 'The Decameron' on Netflix.  It's a humoristic drama series set in a villa outside of Florence during the plague in the 14th century.  The wife and I watched the first episode together and it was basically awfull.  I kept watching the subsequent episodes on and off myself and it does build up.  It's more absurdist than actually funny, with situations ever escalating.  I think it's best described as one 30 minute Fawlty Towers episode stretched over 10 50 minutes episodes.
