Awesome CANADIAN show!
 

Did anyone catch "Village on a Diet" tonight on CBC? It was great! a small community in B.C. commit to losing 2 thousand pounds as a group. They focus on different people/couples/kids/DOGS! everyone's in on the action, it was really cool to hear the Canadian accent on a reality show, talking about Kraft Dinner and Tim Horton's LOL

I'm hooked!

What tme was it on? I think I would like to see it!! What do you mean... we Canadians don't have an accent... lol :D

darn. Did that start tonight? I wanted to see it.


oh, I'm in bc. Maybe it isn't too late.

I'm watching it right now.

Canadian accent? We don't have accents.

What accents? LOL

If you missed the show, you may be able to watch it at cbc.ca.

I think that's a fanastic way to get community involvement. Wish I would have caught that on TV . . . . any idea if there will be re-runs?

I think I'm in the minority, but after living in the US for 4 years . . . I finally 'heard' my accent, only took 3 1/2 years of living there to hear it :p

Cool!! Gonna have to check that out.

I am from Detroit MI and we got the CBC broadcasts which I miss terribly now that I live in NM. I wish they would make it an option on cable and satellite TV. I will see if it can be watched on line. Sounds fascinating.

Accent? Um, yeah it is different from midwest US but so is a US southern accent, Texas, NY, Boston, Maine, etc.

I always tell people that growing up on the border allowed me to become bilingual in Canadian!!! I know your national anthem as well as I know mine. Yours is easier to sing.

Besides the "eh" vs. "you know" difference, the inflections are different:
Organization ~
Can: or-gan-I-say-shun vs. US: or-gan-eh-zay-shun

Whatever, it is charming and I hope you never change it.

^Cute! Most Americans say that we say, 'aboot' instead of 'about,' but I never notice that.

I've seen the previews, but I didn't think the show had started yet. I look forward to seeing it.

I liked it! I had a different feel than the US shows on weight loss. It will be interesting to follow this one. Monday nights I guess.

By the way I say organ-I-zay-shun. ;)

Maybe it's because my Mom is from Michagan/Ohio, but I don't think most Canadians have accents (except those from Quebec). I've been to Canada 3 times, lived with Canadian roommates for 5 months and met plenty of Canadians while traveling, and I've never heard anyone say "aboot"

Oh, and is there somewhere we can watch it online?

Okay, I admit that I do hear an accent on East coasters and I did here a bit in the show last night.

i think everyone's right! as a whole, we have a very generic accent - i think that's why there's so many Canadians in broadcasting -- but sometimes, man you can hear the Canadian, eh? LOL things like "PROcess" vs PRAcess and just hearing folks talk about kraft dinner and tim hortons, and i LOVED that no one looked to be there for 10 minutes of fame, no one had a 'publicist' on the go! And yes, the trainer made a girl throw up but in a better way than Jillian on TBL in my opinion ;)

I think you can see some of it on the CBC website! it'll be on every monday night @ 9 pm

Are you guys still watching? I love the show. It actually is quite motivating and inspiring.

yes, I'm a fan! I like how real it is, that it takes a long time and a lot of effort, not just a quick montage and then *poof* you're skinny LOL
