From the late-1990s to the mid-2000s, Global aired somewhat more identifiably Canadian entertainment programming, including the long-running finance drama "Traders", the British-Canadian animated comedy "Bob and Margaret", the police procedural drama "Blue Murder", the nightly improvised drama "Train 48", the sitcom "The Jane Show" and the reality show "My Fabulous Gay Wedding". In 2003, Global signed comedian Mike Bullard, host of the nightly "Open Mike with Mike Bullard" on CTV and The Comedy Network, to a multi-year contract for a new nightly talk show on Global, but that series was cancelled after 60 episodes amid poor ratings.
