[net.tv] Hill Street Hawksters... in Canada?

Due to the miracles of cable television, I was watching Canadian TV, and
noticed -- in the course of one hour -- two seperate commercials with Hill
Street alumnus pushing products.  The first, Ed Marinaro (Coffey) for Prego,
could have been an American commercial, but Bruce Wietz (Belker) for
Canadian Nissan dealers, was dressed & acting in Belker mode ("Grrrrrrr...").

Anyone know why they'd do ads in Canada, and not in the US?

	"...AND Penfold."
						"Oh, ick."
