I know I am dating myself but there don’t seem to be the same TV series on now that there were way back when you had to twist the antenna pole on the front porch to switch from CBC to CTV.
Sure there are some pretty good shows on these, Saint Pierre comes to mind as a new series with a lot of potential, but gee whiz if someone was visiting the planet from outer spacethry might think everyone on Earth was blonde with big boobs, a .45 Python in their purse and the whole world was on fire waiting for some muscle laden fireman to rush up and save them.
Here’s a list of 10 Canadian TV series I enjoyed until colour tv’s and cablevision came along:
- Forest Rangers
- Chez Helene
- Butternut Square
- Mr. Dressup
- Passport to Adventure
- Razzle Dazzle
- Danger Bay
- Polka Dot Door
- Juliette
- The Pig and Whistle
