For me it’s Corner Gas. I still think it’s pretty funny and there’s a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn’t be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.
I have only seen a bit of the animated version in waiting rooms.

S.C.T.V. for sure.
And when I was younger, The Friendly Giant.
Le maître du jeu (aka Taskmaster Canada), if game shows count.
I know it’s Quebecois and not really full Canadian, but it’s awesome. English subtitles are also available.
Wayne & Schuster.
They were fun!
The Galloping Gourmet!
( reading this page is hilarious, btw… : )
Another vote for Kids in the Hall, the sharpest humour I recall from all of TV-era…
National Film Board stuff, that is one of the deepest treasure-wells we’ve got, in Canada…

So so many from my childhood.
Edited: Removed Romper Room, I could have sworn it was Canadian, but apparently not. Replaced it with Circle Square (it’s creepy Canadian Cousin)
This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Started in 1993 and still airs today.
As a USA person: Degrassi, when Drake was in a wheelchair.
Ahhh, Kids in the Hall is it.
I probably have seen some of the other stuff on TV at some point, but that and SCTV are all that come to mind, and SCTV I never saw back then, it was only after the internet that I finally saw some, so I don’t know if it counts for what you’re asking.
Kinda strange considering how many of the SCTV cast are on my list of favorite comedic actors.
You Can’t Do That On Television (with Alanis!)
The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (with the Amazing Billy Van, Vincent Price)
I just started rewatching This Is Wonderland on Tubi.
Other than that, mostly ones that have already been mentioned plenty, but I’ll call out Due South and Murdoch Mysteries as big ones.
Kids in the Hall 100%, I know it was popular stateside and if corner gas has dated references, it absolutely does, but it’s an absolute classic and some of the recurring bits still pop into my head from time to time.
Definitely all the stuff people already mentioned, but have to mention Workin’ Moms since nobody else has.
Great show, very underrated.
