I of course don't know that one...
but do you recall the Canadian show,"The Beachcombers" from the early 1970's up into the 1990's? I had no idea it was on that long.

I used to watch that when I was really little. About 1974/75 & although I was in Erie,PA
we could receive Ontario's Channel 11. I didn't understand it but I liked that it was set by the ocean.

I also recall some kid show with a puppet that was always hollering "Harvey Wallbanger!" & it was hosted by Vincent Price. Kinda scary.

Lastly,I even recall a show where there was an animated cartoon of someone teaching to count numbers in (I assume) French-Canadian!

You recall these Jess or anyone?
