A couple of those made it here to the States. The Elephant Show use to air on Nick and Read All About It! aired on PBS.

Ha, I grew up with a guy who was the spitting image of the Kid with the glasses on "Circle Square", guess what we called him for the entirety of high school ...and college.

The lip syncing on that show was mesmerizing.

Nothing said "I've woken up too early" in 1970s Toronto than Professor Kitzel

Man, watching some of those clips take me way back. Especially the "Bimbo the Birthday Clown" clip, I haven't seen that show for 40 years, but it immediately all came back to me, what a trip! And I had completely forgotten that Uncle Bobby was British...

i keep forgetting to add that i grew up with the son of the singing policeman on Uncle Bobby, still keep in touch. I lived close to the studio where the show was taped and a bunch of my friends were on it.

Years later, i dated a girl whose grandmother lived next door to Uncle Bobby, she said he liked booze.

Street Cents and You Can't Do That on Television are the best things to come out of Canada since John Candy and Dan Ackroyd.

Daaah, I heard that!
