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.
Letterkenney
The Red Green show. Used to watch it on PBS with my dad when I was a kid.
Red green
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.
Trailer Park Boys

Great list, i will also add

Ack! How’d I forget that one!? I even have it on DVD
I suspect we’re of similar ages, since I had to scroll down this far to find Due South.
“You know we just took out seven guys? One more and you qualify for American citizenship.”
Agreed. Sad I had to scroll that far. Most of the others are obvious.
Also, how come I’m not seeing “North of 60”!
Not a single “Traders”?
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…

This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Started in 1993 and still airs today.
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.
