Due South in reverse

Sad to see this series cancelled since it had a roaring start with a Gemini winning pilot episode followed by some very good episodes in the first season. Starring the very talented Rick Roberts best known from the Traders series as a displaced Arizona resident sent up to Alberta to work at a television station where he finds his co-workers a bit too "Canadian" for him. Having to adjust to the harsh climate and the dollar exchange rate, the American tries to find ways to go home. Though a network casualty, hopefully the series will find its way to a lesser network such as The Comedy Network or Showcase Television in Canada. Should be given a chance on a US network. American audiences embraced Due South a few years ago. They'd probably enjoy this one too.
