#the great canadian baking show

📺

📺 favourite TV series?

Oooh that's a tough one, since I dont watch a lot of TV. I'll give a couple that I really enjoy, though!

1. The Great Canadian Baking Show

If you've seen Great British Bake Off, it's basically the same thing, but Canadian. Perfect show to relax to, excellent vibes all around, and I am forever mad that they took it off Netflix.

2. Physical 100

On the opposite end of the competition show spectrum, Physical 100 is HYPE. Do you wanna watch a bunch of super buff people fight eachother and lift weights and push their bodies to the extreme? I'd recommend the first season over the second, but both are great.

3. Dungeon Meshi

You already know this one, everyone does right now. One of the few shows I've actually taken time to watch on my own, everything people praise this show for is true and correct. Charming characters, intricate world building, beautiful animation. There is a high chance you're already watching this, I dont need to sell you on it.

4. Game Changer

Again, you probably already know this one. Admittedly, I haven't had my Dropout subscription for a while now, so I havent seen some of the more recent episodes. From clips I've caught though, plus the older episodes I've seen over and over again, this show always delivers and exceeds. Something something I've Been Here The Whole Time joke.

Round-Up of 2022 Suggestions

ICYMI, I started making knitflixing suggestions for Canadian's last year. The goal was to offer a show or movie suggestion to watch on Canadian Netflix while knitting, because there's nothing worse than finding a list of recommendations only to discover that none of them are available in Canada. I plan to continue the trend in 2023, but I figured a round up would be useful if anyone wants to see them all in one place!

(Note that all the links are to my Ko-fi page, but all my knitflixing posts are publicly available, so no membership is needed to read them).

February - Sweet Magnolias

March - Avatar: The Last Airbender

April - Bridgerton

June - Hilda

July - Merlin

August - The Great Canadian Baking Show

September - Into the Spiderverse

October - Locke and Key

November - Tiny Pretty Things

December - Sense8

I hate this show it's only episode 3 and I'm sad someone's going home

I was baited by The Great Canadian Baking Show into thinking I will be watching a baking show, another version of GBBO, but it's actually just an hour every week of Dan Levy eating cakes and buttercream and candies

I love it, 10/10, no notes.

[housesunstone]

the great Canadian baking show is back I missed Alan and Ann!!

[acmbooksfilmtelevisionandreads]

Watching Dan Levy host season one of The Great Canadian Baking Show is my favorite. He literally snacks his way through it 😂😂😂

[bobcatmoran]

So, my latest obsession is the Great Canadian Baking Show. It's very obviously one of the many Great British Bake Off spin-offs (they have to use the Baking Show moniker because Pillsbury has a monopoly on the Bake Off term in both the US and Canada), up to and including the musical cues.

But the challenges are much more on par with the early GBBO seasons in tone. The hosts are supportive and gently joshing in a Mel and Sue vibe, and the judges give feedback that is critical but also explains, "If you just did XYZ, that would elevate this to a winning bake." The technicals have actual instructions, which leave out juuust enough details to test the bakers' knowledge of how flavors and baking techniques work without being like, "make a lemon meringue pie" as the sole instruction.

And also! The bakes are regularly multi-cultural in origin, and the judges are very open to different flavors. One of the technicals was Jamaican beef patties with an accompanying hot sauce, and one of the judges was genuinely excited to see how many of the scotch bonnet peppers they'd provided that each of the bakers would use. Paul Hollywood would never.

The current season is super accessible on YouTube if you just search for "Great Canadian Baking Show S07Exx" where the "xx" is the episode number, 8 in all. Can't promise that'll continue to be the case, but for now, it's a solid, accessible way to watch it outside of Canada.

Just like with GBBO, I've fallen in love with so many of these bakers and by the 3rd episode was bummed to see any of them leave, but the final 3 absolutely deserved their place in the tent, as did this season's winner.

Random question but thought you might know: any idea where the first 2 seasons of the Great Canadian Baking Show have gone? They don’t appear to be on Netflix or Gem. I have a craving for Dan and dessert.

Hi anon,

I'd noticed awhile back that it was no longer on Gem but I don't know why and it doesn't appear to be available anywhere else. You could try sending a nice note to one of CBC Gem's socials to see what they say? It's a shame that we can't watch Dan drown himself in baking anymore.

For the @schittscreekdrabbleblog word of the week.

Laser

Patrick is laser-focused on decorating cookies when David approaches. 

“I made extra for you,” Patrick tells him without looking.

“You know me too well,” David replies, devouring one. “Oh my God! These are amazing.”

“It’s Mom’s recipe.”

“Can I marry her?”

“No,” Patrick smiles. “But I’m available.”

David laughs. They’ve been flirting since the contest started and he knows it’s fake, but it will look cute on TV, so he plays along.

“Wow, not even a date first?”

Devastating, hopeful eyes fix David in place. “Dinner, then?”

It’s not real, right? Just in case… “Win, and you've got a deal.”
