For some reason the name of Wayne and Shuster sounds familiar to me, but I can't think of how I know them. Maybe I just heard them referred to in TV promos.
I had access to Canadian TV (CBC, CTV, and an independent station) for about 15 years, from ca. 1975 to 1990. Then the cable company stopped carrying it, and of course my antenna days were long gone by then.
I miss it. It was a whole different flavor. We used to watch Tiny Talent Time in the 70s, and laugh at the corny theme song. The Canadian stations always had Star Trek on the weekends, and they were the only place I ever saw Space: 1999 before DVD. The last series I watched on Canadian TV was Street Cents in 1990. It was meant for teenagers, but I loved it anyway.
I even miss the commercials. My favorites were the ones with song jingles, like for Corn Flakes and Wonderbra. And there was a board game called Pop-O-Matic Trouble with a proto-rap jingle: "...here comes sister, look out Jack— you've got Trouble so you go back! That's Pop-O-Matic Trouble." Good times.
