4. Invader Zim -- Jhonen Vasquez
   Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by comic book writer/artist Jhonen Vasquez and aired on Nickelodeon. First broadcast on March 30, 2001 (the same day as The Fairly OddParents), Nickelodeon desired a show aimed at their older viewers. The show never found a time slot that the creators of the program thought suitable and suffered in the ratings.[1] The show crew requested that Invader Zim be moved to MTV similarly to the way Ren and Stimpy had been, but this never happened. Before two seasons were completed, it was canceled by Nickelodeon.[2] It can currently be seen in reruns on Nicktoons Network In Canada, and YTV began airing the series on its Bionix programming block on September 8, 2006. Invader Zim DVD compilations have been released by Media Blasters. The series has since been translated into several different languages for foreign broadcast.
5. Maniac Mansion -- Family Channel
   The critical response to Maniac Mansion was for the most part very positive. Time Magazine named it one of the ten best shows of 1990, and called it "the looniest, sweetest family comedy of the year." It has ... been described as everything from "the '90s equivalent of the Addams Family" (New York Post) to "David Lynch on helium" (Daniel Cerone, Los Angeles Times).
6. Shaun Majumder -- Entertainer Presents
   Majumder got his start in Halifax's theatre scene, and was was nominated for a Gemini Award in 1999 for the TV comedy special On The Edge. He's ... forayed into Hollywood, with a small role in the John Cusack air traffic controllers flick, Pushing Tin(1999), and more recently as a regular on the Fox TV variety show Cedric the Entertainer Presents. But now he's content to move from L.A. to Halifax, where the faux newscast is produced. "American TV is all about the goofy jokes, but this is not just a jokey-joke show," Majumder says. "Canada prides itself on its quirky sense of humour -- and This Hour epitomizes that.''
7. Falcon (Falcon, Billy - Musical Act) -- Falcon Beach
   Falcon Beach is a Canadian television show, filmed at Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba, Canada, and produced in Canada for the Canadian and American markets.

A native of Canada, Tamia got an early start in the music industry, singing on "You Put a Move on My Heart," the first single from Quincy Jones' 1994 hit album Q's Jook Joint, when she was only a teenager. That paved the way for the release of her debut album in 1998. Tamia was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. As a child, she took acting and singing lessons, eventually performing in a number of local choirs and theatrical presentations. She soon earned a reputation and several awards, including the YTV Vocal Achievement Award in 1993.

In 1989 he moved to the USA and graduated with distinction from Harvard Business School in 1991.
10. The Sting -- New York
    You can't really call "The Sting" a comedy. Though there are many laughs, especially when Newman hooks Shaw during a poker game, Hill won't let the audience relax enough for that. What this is is a con game, played on the audience, designed not to cheat but entertain by means of clever hoodwinking and constant misdirection plays.
