There are some decent Canadian (e.g., Little Mosque on the Prairie), Aussie (e.g., City Homicide & Rush) & Kiwi (e.g. Burying Brian) shows they could pick up as well. I would love to see more shows from other English speaking countries picked up by KCET without them being sliced & diced like commercial TV does here in the US.
