...but, I think this show has a great potential. In fact, Ms. Joy does a nice job, as do most of the cast. I think the writers have to do away with some of the hokey lines--and stop making the American the knit-wit and the Canadians the Slick ones! Usually Americans do play a "heavy-hand" when it comes to Canada; but not in this interpersonal way. In fact, it has been my experience Canadians have a bit more of a insecurity regarding Identity than Americans do. And Canadians and Americans are really great to one another. There are great Canadians comedians, and fine writers that can draw some niceties that exist between our two GREAT countries, without the silly, churlish put-downs. We Americans have ENOUGH of this on our Primetime; it is not necessary that CANADA follow that trend. In fact, NOW is the time for Canada to show it's INDEPENDENCE- fromSilly, Dumb, putdown American Sit-Coms!Don't give it up. It has potential. And the actors are pretty good.

Sad to see this series cancelled since it had a roaring start with a Gemini winning pilot episode followed by some very good episodes in the first season. Starring the very talented Rick Roberts best known from the Traders series as a displaced Arizona resident sent up to Alberta to work at a television station where he finds his co-workers a bit too "Canadian" for him. Having to adjust to the harsh climate and the dollar exchange rate, the American tries to find ways to go home. Though a network casualty, hopefully the series will find its way to a lesser network such as The Comedy Network or Showcase Television in Canada. Should be given a chance on a US network. American audiences embraced Due South a few years ago. They'd probably enjoy this one too.

An American in Canada is really very boring and the jokes are something Canadians have all seen before. This might work if it was recast and on a bigger American network like CBS or something, but this show is too long. Plus a few other CBC shows, like Royal Canadian Air Farce and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, do skits based on the premise of "an american in canada" and they are a lot funnier. CBC needs some better shows......fast!

It's hard for me to admit, but, because of lack of technology and equipment, Canadian produced shows are less good then (Uhhh!) American shows. But it had a good message and the concept was funny but it moved too slow.Being Canadian, I have a bias which makes the bottom line, it's speed was it's only fault because Canada rocks!P.S Not for some Americans.
