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.

Not a show, but the first thing that came to mind when I read the question is that Canadian ad… the Log Driver’s Waltz.

Wayne & Schuster.
They were fun!

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…

I had a girlfriend who worked in the Vancouver film and TV industry (mostly as just a low level P.A. But eventually getting some Accounting work on tv series, etc…)
So when I think of Canadian TV I automatically think of the CW DC shows (Arrow, Flash, etc…) as well as a crazy amount of mid-budget sci-fi (Andromeda, Continuum, etc…). most of which was all filmed in Vancouver sharing the same pool of Canadian “that guy” actors.
SCTV, specifically Bob & Doug. SCTV was asked to add two minutes of explicitly Canadian content to an already very Canadian show and the result was the Great White North and the Mackenzie brothers.
Continuum.
Red green
The Red Green show. Used to watch it on PBS with my dad when I was a kid.
Not a single “Traders”?
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.
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.
