Jim Bawden, television columnist for The Toronto Star, reports that while American imports took over a lot of the Canadian network schedules in 2005, Queer as Folk is one of the homegrown programs that stood out from the crowd. "After five seasons and 83 episodes, the T.O.-made Queer as Folk decamped to reruns after spending more than $80 million in the city and keeping hundreds of local actors employed. With sales to dozens of countries, it proved one of Canadian TV's most successful exports." Read more of the TV roundup here.
