The reason I know all these shows is because I worked at CBC Studios for a while... until the Conservatives took it apart. The reason it is an interesting idea is that it was the precursor to Public Television. No commercials... that is until recently.
I forgot to mention "Beach Combers"... another long running CBC show you'll never see where you are.
Can't wait to see "Obama in the White House".
Just a note... there's a show in town now being produced by the makers of "Day After Tommorow" and "10,000 BC" called "2012". Its based on the Mayan Calandar and how it ends in 2012 and their interpretation of the events that take place to end things then. Its a huge budget. Major programming for motion capture with a 3 million dollar motion capture camera crane. This is all interwoven with final shooting for the "Night At The Museum 2" sets. Stories I'm not telling until they're all out of town!
