Canadian broadcasters have a proud history of producing an eclectic range of mediocre television programming.

From Katts and Dog to Emily of New Moon, Canadian TV has recycled plots and actors for our viewing tolerance, providing us with countless hours of background noise between higher quality programs from south of the border and across the pond.

Do you remember where you were when London died? Were you infuriated every time Relic stole Nick’s logs? Did you think Spike should have had an abortion? Did you dream of going to the prom with Annie Edison? Do you feel an overwhelming urge to castrate yourself and/or castrate the male members of your immediate family every time you accidentally catch a glimpse of Keys to the VIP?

If you understood even one of those references, then listen up!

LWOT Magazine is giving you a chance to become a part of Canadian broadcasting’s rich, forgettable history!

Send us a pitch for your Great Canadian TV Show. It should include:

• The show’s wacky, pun-tastic title (see: Sue Thomas, F.B. Eye)

• A two-sentence description of the premise

• A list of characters, and the stalwarts of Canadian television who will re-emerge from obscurity to play them (note: all submissions must include Matt Frewer)

• A brief synopsis of the pilot episode

Who will be the star of your show? Will it be that funny-looking guy from Traders? The cute girl from Edgemont? The dad from Danger Bay? That guy who does the thing (you know, the thing?) from The Campbells?

Where will your show be situated? Downtown Toronto? The suburbs of Toronto? A few miles north of Toronto? New York City (filmed in Toronto)? The possibilities are truly endless!

Combine your ingredients to create a casserole of television goodness. Will it be as delicious as Street Justice, aromatic as Riverdale, or a deadly, incurable poison, like Air Farce?

Send your submission to lwoteditors@gmail.com with the subject line: “LWOT-TV Contest.”

Maximum 3,500 words for submissions.

Contest deadline is March 15, 2008
