The HJU Great White North TV Thread!

[Forever Knight]

I'd kill to have that show.

There's always clips of episodes around the web if you look hard enough. Sadly nothing on an actual DVD release though. I've seen a petition or two, but no actual results from them and most of them are from about four years ago.

Now here's two British shows that I think most Canadians probably remember:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncr5SkgOl6w"]Postman Pat[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW0ggNVhaE0"]Fireman Sam[/ame]

And two that are a bit more obscure (the latter being one I didn't find out about until a few years ago):
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z18s8LGSnA0"]Bertha[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwznYJBaTQo"]The Dreamstone[/ame]

And one more song for the road (sort of fitting):
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jsJDCEyPKU"]Hold Back Tomorrow[/ame]

 

[Dark Kabuto]

Yeah I use to watch Postman Pat, and I remember how incredibly catchy that theme song was.


Anyone remember this?

I remember watching Tin Tin every Saturday afternoon.

There's gotta be someone who remembered The Odyssey:

Anyone remember this show?

I had no idea it was by Mainframe!

Yo, Action Man was THE **** :buttrock:
Same with Rupert. I watched it everyday of my life on YTV.

 

[The_Emperor]

Does anyone remember Kung Fu: The Legend Continues?

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

That show, and especially the theme, was badass! :buttrock:

Oooooh, I sooo remember that show. Was quite a weird show... but I really liked it.

I found a clip on Youtube but never knew this show featured kids were wearing Nazi uniforms. I doubt that'd fly nowadays...

Apparently, the full series is on DVD now... but it's an exclusive release. And quite pricey. *SIGH*

Wish there were DVDrips available online. :disappoin


BTW, thought I'd posted this here too since it's kind of related.

Any Reboot fans here? :buttrock:

 

[145zzz]

^ Reboot was AWESOME! The only thing I hated was Bob merging with Glitch. He became shiny and got a mullet. Plus adult Enzo was, IMO, a dick

 

[Silver Wolf]

Reboot is of course well remembered. No need to really add anything there, other than hope that that movie moves along, or at least an update as to whether it's even still "green lit."

Here's one I think most should remember, or should take a look at, at least: The show that asks "What would life be like if TV had existed for the last 5000 years?" and then parodies every historical event and 20th/21st Century TV show under the sun.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn4E28zzKYM"]History Bites Opening 1[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQAdTigtAds"]History Bites Opening 2[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJNAoqy2SRw"]The Caesar "Nonconspiracy"[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv9w7LefvQw"]Thanksgiving[/ame]
They also did a few animated parodies near the end of it's original run:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9FxbMOMi4g"]Anime Parody in the Elizabethan Era[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2abtxzZf0PI"]Captain Puritan[/ame]

There were also some later specials, including some specifically on Canadian History (and US relations through out the centuries), but I'll get to that in a later post.
