La Fin du monde est à 7 heures

La Fin du monde est à 7 heures was a Quebec television comedy series, which aired on TQS from 1997 to 2000. As the title says, the show was traditionally broadcast daily at 7 PM, but was later moved to the 6 PM slot, at the same time as most other networks' news bulletins, with no name change. Hosted by Marc Labrèche, the program was a satirical take on news and current affairs, somewhat similar in style to the English Canadian series This Hour Has 22 Minutes. In addition to Labrèche, other personalities associated with the show include Jean-René Dufort, Patrick Masbourian, Isabelle Maréchal, Paul Houde and Bruno Blanchet. Jean-René Dufort now hosts a show on Radio-Canada called Infoman.

It has since been replaced on CBC Television by Doc Zone, and on CBC Newsworld by a "showcase" edition of The Passionate Eye.

hooked up was a 2004 reality television series produced by online dating service Lemontonic, for Toronto 1 and the A-Channel stations. The show was created for Lemontonic, by Lone Eagle Entertainment. The series cost around CAN$200,000 to produce; that amount is equal to creating a TV commercial, sans airtime. The six-week long series debuted March 31, 2004, with a seven-minutes speed dating sequence, in which the company's URL was shown multiple times. Contestants from the series appeared as guests on Toronto 1's original programming, including Toronto Tonight, Toronto Today, and Last Call. Christopher Geddes, director of sales and marketing for Lone Eagle commented to Marketing Magazine: "We've prided ourselves on being producers of quality shows with an understanding of marketing. I think it's becoming more of a necessity as these funds [such as the Canadian Television Fund] dry up. We create entertainment, and it's not really just that we can aggregate an audience. It might not be two million [viewers], but it might be a bull's eye for a brand."

The Outhouse

The Outhouse is a Canadian television series that aired on OLN in Canada and in Australia on Foxtel. It was a one hour home improvement show hosted by identical twins Brad Goddard and Chris Goddard and produced by Peace Point Entertainment. It tried to separate itself from other home improvement shows by offering a more slapstick, humorous take on the genre. The Outhouse won Bronze honours at WorldFest in Houston for Best Reality Based Programme. The premise of the show was to revitalize the exterior of the two "crappiest looking houses" on the block in two days with a fixed budget. The twins placed usually humiliating side bets as to which of the two houses would win. The Most Improved Crapper was voted by neighbourhood ballot at a Steam Whistle Brewing keg party held to celebrate the completion of the transformations.

The Raccoons and the Lost Star  1980

The Raccoons and the Lost Star is a precursor TV Special to the animated series The Raccoons and debuted in 1983. It came after the first two Raccoons seasonal specials, which were The Christmas Raccoons in 1980 and The Raccoons on Ice in 1981. There are some thematic elements that don't exist in the first specials, such as the Raccoons' world being separate from that of the humans. In the United States, where The Raccoons specials were in the top 10 in Nielsen ratings, The Raccoons and the Lost Star was the number one children's two-part special in syndication at the time.
