The HJU Great White North TV Thread!

Google her up and see if there's anything recent.

Ya know looking at old shows I found out that the girl who played Whazzat Kangaroo on Zoobilee Zoo was also the voice of Mouse on Reboot.

I was pleasantly susprised when I found out this show was filmed in Toronto.

You'd suprised to know how many shows or films, Canadian produced or otherwise, are filmed in Toronto or Vancouver (they don't call it "Stargate City" for nothing).

For comparison purposes, I found these French dub clips of "The Raccoons" or as they call it "Les Ratons Laveurs" or alternatively "Nos Amis Ratons":

(Interesting that, although they replicate minute things in the narration and "Viens vers Nous," they omit any voices in the opening sequence, neither replacing them with the French dub actors or simply keeping in the original audio tracks.)

Now here are two obscure "Edutainment" ones from time gone by, I wonder how/if many people might remember them:

I've brought up the intro and a rendition of "Hocus Pocus Alimagocus" earlier.

Here's a few more clips:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xe6CzAYHbs"]Jeff is brought to Life[/ame]
(Sort of a prologue/flashback clip)

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wj-mYN4un0"]"What would I do?"[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llFWusEy9LU"]"I live in the store."[/ame]
(As I said before, one of the major and perhaps unique at the time, schticks or motifs of the show was the "musical"-like format, complete with "Conversational Songs" and "Dance Numbers" while still maintaining a proper plot, even through the songs themselves. Jeff Hyslop's theatre and dancing choreography expertise probably helped it in that regard.)

(Snippet from a Record Collection/Tape Cassette from back in the day when those were "current" releases. Even here, there's sort of a "musical" like atmosphere, interspersed with commentary between the characters and the like.)
