Who remembers "Mr. Dressup" on Canadian TV? Back in the day, we Buffalonians were lucky to not only have the standard 3 big network channels, PBS, and Channel 29 (making a whopping 5 in total) but also, as I remember it, CHCH Chanel 11 from Hamilton, CFTO Chanel 9 from Toronto, and CBLT Channel 5, the Toronto arm of the CBC. I have very clear memories of watching kids' stuff on Canadian TV as a kid in the '70s, but not really grasping that I was watching stuff from a foreign country. I remember watching news and seeing weather with celsius references and what not...I knew something odd was afoot, but I was not quite sure what. Good times. absolutely remember that show, and Davey and Goliath...and hating the (bad word) out of both of them. Now, the show we loved as early kids..maybe in 69 or 70...was Ultra Man. Had to watch on the little black and white in parents room, as living room had the Big black and white, but it only got VHF, and UltraMan was on 29. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x7_DBzBetM Edited August 4, 2018 by plenzmd1 1
Greybeard Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 For some reason a couple of other 50 shows have come to mind. Sgt. Bilko and The Life of Riley. And then there was George Burns and Gracie Allen. That show is timeless.

I am a few years younger, but remember UltraMan on 29 right about the time I started Kindergarten... 1973. Wouldn't he reach for that baton or something... At his most vulnerable moment, raise it above his head w/both hands and shout: "I am UltraMan!" Straight out of Japan, right? Japanimation... Just like Godzilla, and other crazy cool Japanese stuff like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Boy did the Japanese have the "special effects" (rudimentary, but only effects in town) cornered back in the day!
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 The Fall Guy, Good Times, MASH, and Dukes of Hazzard were my favorites when I was a young child. Laugh Olympics was one of my fav cartoons on Saturday morning.
Fadingpain Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Not the first show I remember, but the BEST. Japanimation in its finest hour. This was popular when I was in @ 5th grade. Who remembers the wave motion gun?

Not specials directly, but people certainly made specials out of the events. You're young enough to be my kid.

The first time I had ever seen Davey and Goliath was a video clip on the Internet. But although I hadn't seen the show I was aware of it from this MadTV skit 1

It's Christian propaganda directed at kids. I was too little to realize it at the time. 1

I remember my grandmother taking me to her friends house one weekend. They dragged me off to plunk in front of a TV to watch the Banana Spilts. Win/Win. Yay! It was Columbo and Kolchak the Night Stalker, THEN they showed the tape delayed NBA Finals game at 1am in Buffalo Up to around 1983 you couldn’t see the Finals live except on weekend afternoon
Nervous Guy Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 Who can name this cartoon? Used to be one of my favorites...only lasted one season, but I loved it. I saw there were remakes decades later, the original was in 1964.
row_33 Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) CFTO in Toronto gave us bad cartoons like World of Oz, Adventures of Pinocchio and Professor Kitzel Uncle Bobby was cool, the parrot was trained to say “!@#$ the CBC” during commercial breaks Edited August 5, 2018 by row_33
