From one of the commenters:
In his book, TV North: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Canadian Television, Peter Kenter says "The Trouble With Tracy is universally considered the worst Canadian TV show of all time, especially by those who have never seen it."

Well I did see it, it was part of my childhood and it wasn't even close to being the worst show of all time or most of us wouldn't have watched it. Tracy was sexy as all get out, and Miss Anderson and Tracy's hippy brother Paul were funny. The show did use old Goodman Ace "Easy Aces" scripts from the 30s/40s and they shot at least 5 episodes a week so it wasn't all going to be Masterpiece Theater.
I watched The Trouble With Tracy when I was a kid, and I liked it.
However, a few years ago I watched some episodes for nostalgic reasons - and I was cringing left, right and centre. Not sure about it being the worst Canadian TV show of all time - but I can see why people thought it was bad. I find that many things I watched as a kid are just terrible as an adult (Canadian or American shows).
