This is the show that every Canadian should watch on CBC Television. It's also the show that those outside of Canada should watch to see what kind of talent is flourishing here. The world is overwhelmed by American celebrities, so the talent we have here isn't given the attention they deserve, especially when the viewing audience realizes that the actor they've admired hails from North of the 49th parallel. A few of my favorites have been: Ernie "Mr. Dressup" Coombs, Mary Walsh, Burton Cummings, The Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne & Shuster, Raffi and several others that have reminded me of our abundant talent pool. This is recommended viewing for all. Keep an eye out for this gem of a show.

The biography, or "biopic", is a genre that portrays the life story of a real person, often a notable individual or historical figure. They aim to provide a depiction of the subject's personal history, achievements, challenges, and impact on society.
