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.

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…

I would say picnicface. Yes, the powerthirst people. They had one glorious season of sketch comedy. Also a book.
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned Dudley the dragon. I’ll always remember you Mr. Crabby tree.
You Can’t Do That On Television (with Alanis!)
The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (with the Amazing Billy Van, Vincent Price)
This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Started in 1993 and still airs today.
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.
Not a single “Traders”?
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.
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.
Definitely all the stuff people already mentioned, but have to mention Workin’ Moms since nobody else has.
Great show, very underrated.
S.C.T.V. for sure.
And when I was younger, The Friendly Giant.
The Tommy Hunter Show.
