Remember those quirky Canadian shows?

[Supercooled]

Good nominations all. I loved Rocket Robin Hood as it was one of the first piece of Canadiana when my family and I landed in Canada in '84. Of course the repetition was lost on me as a kid and in fact it never bothered me at all; same with Spider-Man. I use to watch SM on my lunch break in school at a friend's house. Was great way to enjoy my lunch hour with my staple of beef patties for lunch.

@ My Secret ID was great. I always thought Jerry O'Connel was Canadian since it was a very Canadian show so I was surprised to discover he was American. Anyway, great to spot some GTA-esque scenes when they were shooting. I remember one episode where they had the unfinished SkyDome construction in the background. Haha, thinking about it now, it just smacks of Canadian through and through. Very low production value but that's how we roll!

Neither of those shows was about the animation - they were all about their theme songs...

So true! Both have been used as ringtones!

Street Cents

It started my RFD ways.

I can't help but think many of us are cheapos from this show!

Street Cents for sure, The Green Forest (I dig talking animals), and later on, Kids in the Hall were my favourites.

Maniac Mansion and The Odyssey were some unmentioned shows that i remember watching as a kid and loving

My father owned Rocket Robin Hood, as well as another show that appeared on tv..Max The Mouse. He ended up getting losing all rights to the shows...Headquarters in New York, parent company took over his title and all his ownership. Felt really cool growing up know my dad owned two cool shows that I liked watching.

Not so old, but I liked Big Wolf on Campus

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein - Billy Van was awesome!

How about Science Interational with Joseph Campanella and Tiiu Leek? Or Bits and Bytes, again with Billy Van, when computers were becoming mainstream.

Anyone remember Harriet's Magic Hats? It was about a young girl who wore hats and teleported to the job that the hat corresponded to. For example, a farmer's hat would take her to a farm where she would learn about farming before teleporting back to Harriet's house. Quirky!

I loved Street Cents too. I've seen the Asian host Benita Ha on some financial services commercial recently and Jonathan Torrens had that talk show Jonovision for awhile.
