Though I don't think Australia is much better. I can't even think of many Australian TV programs seen over here, i only remember a horrid old kids show called Skippy the Kangaroo that was on about the same level as Canada's The Littlest Hobo about a stray german shepherd. I also remember an Australian documentary series about a typical middle class dysfunctional family which was a ripoff of a PBS series in the US.
