Read All About It
Today's Special
Kids In the Hall (though the episodes don't really seem as solid when watching reruns now)
Saturday Night At the Movies
Street Cents (?)

I really want to include something with Heather Conkie in it.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Saturday, 11 January 2003 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I totally forgot the original incarnations of CityLimits and The Pepsi Power Hour, either of which can maybe replace Street Cents and possibly Today's Special.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Saturday, 11 January 2003 22:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Today's Special? You're on crack.

Where is Degrassi? And Hilarious House of Frightenstein? And the Beachcombers? (ok, fine, so the Beachcombers actually sucked) The Littlest Hobo? I think Fraggle Rock was actually a joint CBC production as well.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 11 January 2003 22:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh and so was Mr. Wizard I think, and call me crazy but I kind of liked Due South, although I've been trying to decide for years if Paul Gross is actually cute. Someone will definitely freak out because there's no SCTV or Codco on this list yet.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 11 January 2003 22:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Or This Hour Has 22 Minutes? Made in Canada?
And jeeze louise, where's VIDEO HITS?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Saturday, 11 January 2003 23:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Made in Canada - right. I was trying to remember what that one was called. That other similar one a few years ago, Newsroom was it? That was fantastic.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 11 January 2003 23:34 (twenty-three years ago)

SCTV = lamest sketch comedy programme in the history of television. Do real people actually still laugh at that mock news programme read by two 'stereotypically gay' men (Weier-Strauss Report?)? I mean, they're not even all that campy. Today's Special was far better than that as well as Codco or This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and certainly better than Mr Wizard's World. I should have mentioned Four On the Floor though. The Frantics were brilliant. Wayne & Shuster probably had a few good moments too. Video Hits was OK at best, certainly outmatched by nearly every classic MuchMusic programme. Fraggle Rock was a stone cold classic though. I'm not that familiar with the rest of your choices.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Saturday, 11 January 2003 23:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Dudes.

THE EDISON TWINS.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I completely forgot about that!

I'm gonna submit that even Readalong kicks Today's Special out of the ballpark.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Did it have a dancing mannequin?

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:12 (twenty-three years ago)

If anything, The Edison Twins has THE CATCHIEST THEME SONG IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Readalong had a talking footwear and a skeleton Sundar!

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Then why can't I remember how it goes mark? ....almost tho

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:18 (twenty-three years ago)

This isn't very nice to say, and I don't mean to be ageist, but how old are you, Sundar? One of the main reasons that all of the sketch shows you mention were any good at all is because of SCTV (and SNL, too, maybe). The SCTV news was, I think, filler for the most part, on a show that was filled with a great deal of classic material. If you read Dave Thomas' book about the show I think you'd have a newfound appreciation of what they did. I ask your age because before a lot of those shows, all there really was was SCTV. You might have been too young to realize. 'The David Steinberg Show' was excellent (featuring many future SCTVers); 'Bizarre' was grebt when I was a kid (kinda sucks now); 'Front Page Challenge' - awesome! Remember wishing anything - ANYTHING else would be on when it was on (I grew up in sw Saskatchewan where until 1977 or so we only had CBC)? Same with 'The Carlton Showband' on CTV in the '70s. Holy motherfuck did that show suck! 'The Mad Dash' - classic. 'Peter Puck' on Hockey Night In Canada. 'Good Rockin' Tonight'. I always really liked 'You Can't do That on Television' (don't remember Alanis on it). And the best Canadian show of ALL TIME - 'Live It Up'. I will fight anyone who says otherwise (rock paper scissors or thumb wrestling, anyway).

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:37 (twenty-three years ago)

"No two days are quite the same / life is just a learning game / but if you use your head you'll always win / just like The Edison Twins"

*cue whistling solo*

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:41 (twenty-three years ago)

hahah! thanks.

Bryan, I've always thought Live it Up was the real progenitor of Street Cents.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 12 January 2003 00:50 (twenty-three years ago)

All I remember about Live It Up is that it existed. Get ready to put up your dukes, Sparky.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 12 January 2003 01:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Today's Special was pretty much a nostalgia pick anyway. I haven't seen it since I was 8 or 9, though I remember it being classic. So you can replace it with Four On the Floor or something if you're so dead set against it.

I'm 23.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 12 January 2003 01:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Speaking of John Candy, what about the show Coming Up Rosie, where he played Wally Wypyzypychwk? And for that matter, why has noone mentioned King of Kensington yet?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:04 (twenty-three years ago)

And, for that matter, no list of classic Canadian TV shows would be complete without a mention of Definition!

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:05 (twenty-three years ago)

King of Kensington - maybe because no one ever made it more than five minutes past that theme song?

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:08 (twenty-three years ago)

As for serious shows, I *heart* UNDERCURRENTS.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Made In Canada is very good. I love Ken Finkleman, so any of his stuff (The Newsroom, More Tears, Foolish Heart, Foreign Objects) oh and You Can't Do That On Television and Mr. Dress-Up.

― Genevieve, Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:24 (twenty-three years ago)

The best theme song: Danger Bay.

― Genevieve, Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:27 (twenty-three years ago)

The Raccoons, Witness, and the hard-hittin' expose stylee of The Fifth Estate.

― Poppy (poppy), Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Kim is OTM about King of Kensington, although it was the show that started me on my lifelong appreciation for comedy involving inserting things into ones nose. Sean, I'd kick yer ass, but I won't. Tell me you didn't buy any fuckin' pillows! Sundar, I'm sorry for being so surly. I get my back up when SCTV is dissed rightly or wrongly. Undercurrents is a good show. Coming Up Rosie was crazy.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 12 January 2003 02:46 (twenty-three years ago)

The Edison Twins! Oh yeah.....

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 12 January 2003 03:14 (twenty-three years ago)

electric circus!

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Sunday, 12 January 2003 03:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I didn't buy any pillows yet but I think we're going to anyhow, because all of the extra pillows we have are revolting or at least revoltingly skimpy; it'd be like putting your head down on an empty cotton-weave bag.

SCTV is classic if only for the part where the farmers BLOW UP REAL GOOD. So may the good lord take a likin' to ya and blow you up REAL SOON!

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 12 January 2003 04:15 (twenty-three years ago)

haha we used to get Beachcombers, Degrassi and The Littlest Hobo in Ireland...maybe they were going for cheap? Was "3-2-1 Contact" Canadian?

― Michael Bourke, Sunday, 12 January 2003 05:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok, Sean. "Oh look! He's cryin'!"

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 12 January 2003 06:01 (twenty-three years ago)

eng/street legal.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 12 January 2003 06:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Bryan: Don't worry about it. If anything, I was surlier. I've only seen a few rerun episodes anyway.

3-2-1 Contact was Canadian, yes. And, yes, Degrassi was classic.

I dislike/d You Can't Do That On Television.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 12 January 2003 08:39 (twenty-three years ago)

A few "next 20"s reveal her to have had a piece in everything big that ever happened in Ontario TV! I feel a certain excitement every time I see her name on the awards list when I go to the Royal Conservatory.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 12 January 2003 08:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Does anyone remember a Canadian (I think) show called "Do It For Yourself," featuring a lady named Mary Bellows? It was an instructional show, demonstrating how you can fix things around the house. The problem was, Ms. Bellows was almost completely incompetent, and in the end, the viewer learned very little, if anything. If I remember correctly, once she was trying to demonstrate how to fix an aquarium pump, and after a few minutes of fiddling, she finally exclaimed that she could not fix it. Or, once she was attempting to jumpstart a car, and she nearly shocked herself and actually caused sparks to fly. It sounds like the premise for a sitcom, but IT WAS A REAL, SINCERE SHOW.

― Ernest P. (ernestp), Sunday, 12 January 2003 09:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh wait, 3-2-1 Contact was American after all.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 12 January 2003 10:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Can we give all of WB as a gift to the Canadian people? Please, take it. It will improve your canon immensely. ::hugs::

― That Girl (thatgirl), Sunday, 12 January 2003 10:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Bizarre!

― dave q, Sunday, 12 January 2003 10:46 (twenty-three years ago)

The shows I remember most fondly from my 80s kid days:

Video Hits (now that I think about it, wasn't Samantha about 40 but dressed up like Madonna? She always had a sideways ponytail...)

Toronto Rocks! With that JD guy, who went on to be a regular at Much Music. I used to have a Toronto Rocks! pink t-shirt, wish I still had it now.

Danger Bay - name one girl who *didn't* have a crush on Jonah...

Now what was that show with the Moose and Beaver who had the C.u.c.u.m.b.e.r club? I watched that all the time too - loved the episode where they tried to show that junk food was wrong by recreating marshmallows "digesting" evilly in Moose's stomach.

I *loved* Hilarious House of Frightenstein. It's so sad that the master tapes have been destroyed, but you can pick up vcds on eBay.

Because I had two little sisters, I also watched a lot of: Jeremy, Today's Special, Romper Room and Dr. Snuggles. (Jeremy is Belgian, though, isn't he? And I think Dr. Snuggles was from the UK?)

My (British) boyfriend is very scared, btw...

― elisabeth k, Sunday, 12 January 2003 11:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Very scared indeed. But at least it gets it out of her system.

― Tag, Sunday, 12 January 2003 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

!!!

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 12 January 2003 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Toronto Rocks! With that JD guy, who went on to be a regular at Much Music
...and who now reads the news on CBS (I think) in the states, under the name John Roberts. Apparently he gets really upset if you bring up those early days. I mean, did you see some of those clothes he used to wear?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 12 January 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.cyberpresse.ca/reseau/tendances/0112/images/ten_101120045780_1.jpg

Aw, this picture gives me the warm fuzzies. Not least of which is the view of Yonge St. Behind 'em.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 13 January 2003 05:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Quads!

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 13 January 2003 05:24 (twenty-three years ago)

(Oh yeah, it was called the Soren-Weiss Report.)

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Monday, 13 January 2003 05:27 (twenty-three years ago)

if yer all nostalgic for the hilarious house of frightenstein, i remember the website having alot of material on it. i'm too lazy to check tho.

and sctv was a total classic. remember the skit with the phoney punk band 'the queen haters'? classic.

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 13 January 2003 05:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Martin Short has never been funnier than he was in that sketch, and I've always wanted a pair of those octagonal glasses that John Candy was wearing as the drummer. I remember laughing so hard that my throat hurt for a few days afterward. I quote Sid Dithers often as well: "You say you went to San Franshishky? Did you drove n did you flew?"

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 13 January 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I always really liked 'You Can't do That on Television' (don't remember Alanis on it).
Only on it for one season and she was no Alistar.

No mention of Reboot!!! Greatest tv show of all time.

'Definition' with its Quincy Jones intro now made famous to a legion of younger kids as the Theme to Austin Powers.

CODCO owes a strong debt to SCTV (3D House of Beef, the Schmenge Brothers, The Great White North...) so in a way This Hour Has 22 Minutes Does.

Did I miss a mention of Ernie Coombs? Mr Dressup people!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 13 January 2003 16:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I still like The New Music actually. It's been up and down - byron wong sucked - but generally pretty good.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 13 January 2003 16:52 (twenty-three years ago)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 13 January 2003 18:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Images in Vogue - ahhh! One of the members was a supply teacher at my little sister's high school.

Kim Clarke Champniss had some great techniques, like shining a flashlight in his face while introducing the next video. Sure, he had a tendency to play the same Cramps and Cabaret Voltaire videos over and over again, but on the whole it was usually a good mix.

Read All About It: after I read that article, I had a hazy recollection of the evil Duneedon's silver head. I must have shut it out because it scared the living daylights out of me too.

― elisabeth k, Monday, 13 January 2003 19:11 (twenty-three years ago)

― Horace Mann, Monday, 13 January 2003 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

First person who mentions Check it Out gets my scorn and possibly my scones as well.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 13 January 2003 19:40 (twenty-three years ago)

This is the only other place I could find that seems to have tapes of Read All About It. No mention of price and it seems to be education-oriented so it's probably still at the expensive International Telefilm price.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Monday, 13 January 2003 20:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Does no-one else have a crush on Ken Finkleman?

I forgot Under The Umbrella Tree.

― Genevieve, Monday, 13 January 2003 20:34 (twenty-three years ago)

(Heh, I remember when Zachary Houle wrote stuff on the Ottawa Citizen's high school students' page. His style hasn't changed.)

I'm really dismayed that we've been discussing some fruity Englishman so long while ERIKA EHM has gone without mention.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Monday, 13 January 2003 20:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Well I'm without hat fetish nor do I want to go lez up with Erika who still kicked Steve Anthony or any of the modern VJ's butts. Still on TV for one of those digital channels. Life, Food or or something.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 13 January 2003 20:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Not Billy Van! Noooooo....

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:06 (twenty-three years ago)

NORTHERN EXPOSURE

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Northern Exposure was American; surely you're thinking of North of 60 or something like that?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Test Pattern!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought it was, at least, partly a canadian production/had been filmed in canada. I think the pilot was. : /

THE LITTLEST HOBO????

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:21 (twenty-three years ago)

North of 60? Ha! My parents used to watch that.

Is The Littlest Hobo the one with the German Shepherd wearing a headscarf? Doesn't Father Dougal like that show?

― Genevieve, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:26 (twenty-three years ago)

The Littlest Hobo! Man! Now THAT one had the best theme song of all time!

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Sadly I can't remeber the theme but didnt it have whistling and sound vaguely like WKRP?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:34 (twenty-three years ago)

The Littlest Hobo Theme Song

There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Down the road. That's where I'll always be.
Oh, every stop I make, I make a new friend.
Can't stay for long. Just turn around, and I'm gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
So, if you want to join me for awhile,
Just grab a hat, we'll travel light. That's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
Until tomorrow, the world is my home.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha, I just downloaded that Sean. (Yes I am that bored) I imagine RJG dancing to it.
I still think Danger Bay is better.

― Genevieve, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 00:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a very funny story about Video Hits and I'll tell it if you ask.

I have real beef with Canadian TV. I think nowadays it's all uniformly desperately awful, CBC shit (and CBC comedy shit) in particular. I can't think of one show I can watch for more than 30 seconds without my eyeballs bleeding.

That said, I will defend SCTV to the death.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 21 March 2003 05:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Oooh, tell your Video Hits story!

I left Canada 4 years ago, so I haven't seen much tv. I make a point of watching the Electric Circus when I'm visiting home though - the bf can't believe how awful it is. But mostly, when I'm back I just watch A&E and re-run channels. And infomercials.

(Mind you, I miss the early EC days when they let *anyone* in and had rubbish dance competitions - not like the skanky, cheesy models they use these days.)

I don't know why the CBC can't get a decent show rolling. I think there are people just surfing the (protected, unionised) payroll and coming up with lame ideas because they live in this weird CBC bubble and have no concept of what people really want.

Is that terrible soap still on - the one that tried to be all multicultural? I can't remember what it was called.

― elisabeth k, Friday, 21 March 2003 13:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Twitch City, definitely. Next to Degrassi, the best. If you ever have the opportunity to watch the "School's Out" finale again (because I'm sure that no one in their right mind would have missed Caitlin's brilliant post-9pm-therefore-swearing-is-allowed-on-CBC outburst of "You fucked Tessa!"), by jove, don't pass it up.

I'm interested in this Video Hits story as well...R.I.P. Dan Gallagher.

― cybele, Friday, 21 March 2003 13:56 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, here's my Video Hits story. My cousin was dating one of the show's hosts, who I will politely decline to name here. One day he shows up at her house with his face covered in bandages; apparently he's been in a terrible car accident. She spends the next few weeks looking after him. Finally the bandages come off, and she's horrified to learn that he hadn't really been in accident at all: he'd gotten a nose job!

http://www.metronews.ca/entertainment/2017/11/09/youtube-channel-encore-resurrects-canadian-tv-shows-films.html

After years of development, the Canada Media Fund and Google Canada have teamed to launch encore+, a new YouTube channel giving viewers here and around the world access to decades of Canadian film and TV gold.
"We discovered that there are about 22,000 titles of Canadian content, financed by the public sector, that was not available to the public because it was stuck in analog," said Canada Media Fund CEO Valerie Creighton, who first approached Telefilm's Carolle Brabant with the idea five years ago.

People tend to mock Reboot now, by calling it's animation primitive, but it was a hell of a lot better than the other CGI stuff that was airing on YTV at the time:
