Another Fan Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Did anyone else used to watch these educational shows growing up? My favorite was Math Patrol, always a number guy http://youtu.be/TK9KA9WMdtA Edited July 29, 2017 by Another Fan
/dev/null Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 No, but I do remember way back in the day when TV stations signed off late at night and played the National Anthem. Confused the Hell out of me why American TV played Oh Canada.

Confused the Hell out of me why American TV played Oh Canada. You were in Erie, PA... Could you pull from S.Ontario? Not that far across Lake to Port Dover/Long Point.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Ah I remember that, that's when I knew I better get to bed soon.
Marv's Neighbor Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Hockey Night in Canada! There were also some good wrestling shows, mostly from Montreal. That's well before it was all fake!
row_33 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 TVO didn't carry HNC, it gave us the Polkadot Door instead. Saturday night was Elwy Yost escitedly hosting a movie that nobody had cared about for 40 years.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Late night TO 📺 Using a rotary antenna from Roch. Of course w/o mom or dad in the room.
Augie Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Hockey Night in Canada and curling were parts of growing up. And I had a trench coat like I just saw on Math patrol, but that's another story.....
mead107 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 I remember getting to hotel 2 hours above Montreal snowmobiling about 11 15 years ago at night and the only thing on TV was a guy selling pots and pans and porn.

DC Tom Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Don't remember that. But I do remember watching Spanish lessons on Sesame Street in French.
Dante Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 TVO didn't carry HNC, it gave us the Polkadot Door instead. Saturday night was Elwy Yost escitedly hosting a movie that nobody had cared about for 40 years. He had a way of making them seem special though

mead107 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Two hours above MTL... How was the snow that July?was February.
/dev/null Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 i remember going off cable when i was a kid and picking up french language tv from montreal or quebec. I Killed Da Wabbit dubbed in French was hilarious
row_33 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 He had a way of making them seem special though When the alternative was the Post-Sittler Ballard Leafs.... Elwy was the most exciting thing ever. One night he put on some Spanish flic of a guy basically sexually assaulting a woman on the beach (no politer way to tell you this) and Elwy came back all flustered and apologetic. Not quite as good as the Italian movies shown after midnight Saturdays on the multi-cultural station.

Became City TV after that. Use to heavily tweak the rotor antenna trying to get that signal from Toronto. Edited July 31, 2017 by Dante

Use to strain the antenna trying to get that signal from Toronto. baby blues yup, "that channel" was a hit in the mid 70s, recall it being somewhat received in cottage country Speaking of kids stuff, the woman who was the voice behind Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Natasha Fatale died at 99 last week...
