They're constantly uploading new episodes for all the shows they have plus more.
I was sure when I clicked it would be The Kids in the Hall or Four on the Floor
To answer OP...no never saw that show
I watched some years ago, I did a double take when one of the cast members seemed familiar.
There was a second one?
Never heard of it
NON! C'est impossible!
Les ananas ne parlent pas!!

The man who would grow up to be da bomb in Phantoms yo.
And yeah there was a sequel:
But nope... we never got it in school so I don't have any nostalgia for it. I only found out about it while trying to look for the first one, but never actually thought to watch it. lol
Fucking right there was. It was about Mayan ruins in Mexico.

Or whatever "good" even means with 80s education shows.
(or at least the theme song lol)
A truly glorious video. Was always so sad when it finished because it was so damn good
I haven't watched it since I was a kid. My school did the two seasons in the 5th and 6th grade IIRC. I remember doing a big project on the second one with a Mayan calendar.
Haha this is bringing back memories!Yeah, and I had forgotten until now. Pirouli was his name:
Haha fair.
I just decided to pop on the first one again and it's pretty rough, but that theme song is like activating neurons in my brain. It's like a part of me. lol
I watched soooooo much YTV as a kid! Well, after school/Saturday mornings had other stations with kids shows on it. Canadian shows were great!
Mr. Dressup > Mr. Rogers. I just didn't really watch him much... Found out that Mr. Dressup with an understudy of his though, so it makes sense! Fred Penner was pretty good too.
Anybody remember the Grogs on YTV? Thete's clips online where some kinda... did some rated-PG improv. PJ Fresh Phil was the best. Def sold me on some toys. Passionate guy and seemed cool in real life from a viddo when some fans met him at a con.

I forgot all about them til you mentioned them:
I remember the PJs though, especially Phil since I'd always watch The Zone after school. Good times.
I spent twenty years trying to figure out what this show was with nothing but a snippet of that song to go by. I was half convinced I'd imagined it.
Nope, I don't remember Tell a Tale Town. Maybe I was a little too old (at... 9).
I do remember this shit though. I also remember seeing a lot of Under the Umbrella Tree, with my little sister:

I will see your Mr. Dressup, and raise you the Friendly Giant (First aired September 1958 and ran until March 1985! 3000+ episodes!)
How is Hilarious House of Frightenstein not on the first page... Vincent fucking Price baby!
How about the cheese of SCI-FI... The Starlost
For you old stock Canadians, and maybe even some Australian friends will know this because the show was a hit there... we have The Forest Rangers

Will bookmark for later. Snippits were a fun read. "Why did I get all these tarts?" Cause you entertained tons of 90's kids, Phil. I only knew what The Crow was because he was a huge fan thst talked about it non-stop. The energy they had, I'm surprised some did it for as long as thry fid.
I've seen black and white screenshots of Friendly Giant, but I had no idea they kept airing re-runs for almost 10 years after it ended! I remember watching it when I was really little in the 90s.
Same! This was filmed on the now destroyed sound stage at the CTV studios here in Ottawa. I had no idea it was a local show at the time.
Oh shit, this channel has Ready or NotSeems to me a lot of y'all should check out this YT channel that is legally uploading a bunch of Canadian shows, including ones mentioned in this thread.

I remember watching a cartoon that featured a giant that was eternally sleeping and someone venturing into his area to talk to him or wake him up. This would be Sunday afternoons around the time of Raccoons and Odyssey. I don't think this was The Friendly Giant? Can anyone remember this?
Mr. Dressup and The Raccoons were my favorites. There was also this show on (I think) YTV where kids would compete for prizes. I specifically remember one game where the teams would have to guide a ball on top of two poles, while hold them above their heads. There was also Kidstreet:
Also, do you guys remember Babar. I think it came on or near The Raccoons. I remember liking that one quite a bit..

I had a huge crush on Pj Aashna.
^^ PJ Phil and PJ Paul were the best, loved the Zone.
Anyone else remember PJ Katie's Farm?
You know what, Fuck TSN for what they did.
God you and me both, I loved both Mimis.. lol.. I rewatched the first one a few years back, it holds up pretty well.
Here's my contribution:
The full version is still good.
Remember Rick the Temp?
I feel like we're going down a CityTV/Much/YTV nostalgia trip...
^^ Tarzan Dan had the original "Vine Videos"

Someone already posted OWL/TV and The Edison Twins (two of the catchiest theme songs ever) so uh I guess I'll post this:
SOL THE CLOWN AHHHH WHY, NOOOOO. Having 9th grade french class flashbacks.
It should probably more accurately be "Fuck the CBC and fuck Stephen Harper."
The CBC had an unbreakable lifetime contract to use the song for peanuts, but they were still dicks about it, refusing to credit the composer, Dolores Claman, for her work.
Then Stephen Harper got elected, and he hates the CBC (because reality has a liberal bias), so he ordered them to cut costs and find ways to save money.
The geniuses in charge of CBC thought that this was the perfect time to solve their problem of Dolores constantly asking to have her name in the credits, so they offered to buy the entire song, outright, for a fraction of what it was worth (because this would shut off the slow drip of royalty payments).
Dolores balked at the offer, and the CBC told her that her song was worthless. They said that some kid with a guitar could make a better song than hers, and they would sell it outright to the CBC for a $1000.
Then TSN heard that the song was for sale, so they put in a multi-million dollar offer, and Dolores said "Fuck the CBC" and grabbed TSN's offer with both hands.
Then CBC announced "Good news everyone, we have lost the theme song to Hockey Night in Canada" and everyone in Canada collectively said "WTF?" and CBC said "Oh, we seem to have fucked something up."
This seems like the right thread to ask: Does anyone else remember this SUPER low budget show set on a train? The only things I remember about it were an episode about some people talking to a depressed clown and a bit of the theme song: "Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na train."
I wanna say it was called Train 48, but I don't think it aired too widely around Canada, so I don't know where else it aired.

This and the Babar show is the only thing I recognize in this thread. Y'all must be much older than me.
Though I know who Mr. Dressup is. He was a distant relative of mine.
Yeah, and I had forgotten until now. Pirouli was his name:
I've never seen this (honestly hideous) mascot without a scuffed nose lol
...but as a kid I loved puppets!!!!
I think Train 48 was a real show and one of the actors used to be my co-worker.
