Happens when you go overseas, and not just TV. But I always thought AFRTS did a good job of presenting you a good viewing schedule.

IMHO, being overseas was the best experience; and when you get back, you appreciate the U.S. more so because of some the amendities that people (who have not lived in another culture for a specific length of time) often take for granted here.

Forget learning French! I wanna learn IRISH! I remember seeing this sketch on Mike Nesmith's show Television Parts years ago and lmao. I was delighted to find it posted on Youtube the other day.

Almost sounds like me when I get really drunk...just needs more of a Scottish influence. But I don't miss my Irish diet of potatoes and Guinness that I lived of off when money got tight in University (because I always bought my booze first and then there was usually only enough money left for a sac of potatoes).

I found an episode of Acadieman uploaded to Youtube. It's just a stupid little cartoon available on local access cable out of Moncton but it is in Chiac (mix of French and English) and thought aFrenchie would like hearing it spoken not just reading it. I don't watch it but will admit this one did have its moments (Mur-Mart lol), but based on the comments (most also in chiac) it is the worst episode, but the only one on Youtube. Not the best example of the Acadien accent but you do start to hear it, and if you go to the Moncton area this is how most of them speak. Sorry the chiac is mostly French, but since there are now more members who understand French I posted it instead of a PM in case they were curious as well.

Part2 (Jean Coutu is the name of a drugstore chain)
Part3

And uploaded by the same user J'ai mangé un toaster which is now probably the stupidest thing I have ever put on this site. It made no sense to me but helps show the cultural barrier that exists between English and French Canadians. The French complain that the rest of Canada doesn't get them, and when it comes to stuff like this I almost have to agree. This, I guess, would be considered the French equivalent in Canada to redneck humour. Although other stuff, like this by Elvis Gratton Scene de la limousine, I did find funny, notice his Québecois swearing. Go to www.sfockersti.tk for all of these and more chiac and French Canadian humour.

I didn't get everything they said, even in French

Nobody really does except for them. At least now when I get confused and frustrated trying to talk to them I can say that even a Frenchman couldn't understand them completely (I doubt they would care though). And because it was for TV it was actually clearer than what you can run into in the lower half of the Province (in the Northern half we speak a lot more closely to how they do in Québec).
