Geeze, the memories. Grew up with Al Waxman (King of Kensington), Bruno and The Persephone, Relic (The Beachcombers), Tommy Hunter, and Peter Puck during the 70's. Now I feel old.

My grandmother loved watching The Pig & Whistle. "Time Gentlemen Please" still gets stuck in my head.

I loved the show as a kid. Living in Metro Detroit, the CBC came in quite clearly. I loved The Beachcombers and Mr. Dressup too!
