It actually was a pretty neat show. Definitely very representative of ones childhood memories of Canadian TV.Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-35974142565109061632007-07-18T19:42:00.000-07:002007-07-18T19:42:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-10406260850687125312007-07-17T20:46:00.000-07:002007-07-17T20:46:00.000-07:00hey guys,don't want to horn in on the Ottawa boyz ...hey guys,<BR/><BR/>don't want to horn in on the Ottawa boyz fest there, but-<BR/><BR/>Razzle Dazzle?<BR/><BR/>Forest Rangers?<BR/><BR/>Littlest Hobo?<BR/><BR/>And the one i can't find : Pic (or Pick) -A -Letter ?<BR/><BR/>You can get some of the Chichemus shows and other early CBC stuff thru the CBC store.

I grew up on Walkley Rd, then moved to Riverside Drive across from Mooney's Bay in 1973. From 1979 until 1984 I lived on Heron Rd, across from the Heron Gate Mall. I remember in one of your past posts, you mentioned buying your comics at "Paul's Sundries" on Bank Street - me too!! Weird, huh?<BR/><BR/>I'll definitely pass along your hello to Adam. He's become a very talented cartoonist with a real knack for drawing funny stuff. Unfortunately, he's overqualified for the Flash dreck that is currently coming out of Toronto studios, as he doesn't get much opportunity to actually draw anything. He tells me that many of the "animators" he works with on Flash animated shows don't even draw at all or want to. Sad state of affairs, in my opinion...Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-82285244209866161802007-07-11T13:33:00.000-07:002007-07-11T13:33:00.000-07:00"The Funny Company" was supposed to be the first p..."The Funny Company" was supposed to be the first p.c. cartoon series, but it was made in an era before anyone figured calling a Native American character "Super Chief" who spoke like the horn of a Santa Fe locomotive, might somehow be offensive.Whithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308880186307909986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-14887641625068404782007-07-11T13:30:00.000-07:002007-07-11T13:30:00.000-07:00Or how about "Johnny Jellybean"?

Also, "Dodo - The Kid From Outer Space" was a regular event when I would walk home from my nearby school for lunchtime. I know the name, "Uncle Chichemus", but I don't think I ever saw that show. He was sort of like Toronto's "Uncle Bobby", right? I do recall "The Magic Tom Show", however, which was kind of in that same genre of hosted kid shows.<BR/><BR/>Do you remember the puppet show, "Hi Diddle Day" on CBC? I ended up working for its creator, puppeteer Noreen Young, right after completing high school. She was working on another show called "Pencil Box" at the time, and she hired me as an apprentice where, among other duties, I got to help her sculpt and build the puppets. It was a great first job!Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-78876298197378053002007-07-11T09:46:00.000-07:002007-07-11T09:46:00.000-07:00Hey Petedid you watch Uncle Chichemus when you we...Hey Pete<BR/><BR/>did you watch Uncle Chichemus when you were a kid?<BR/><BR/>Oogly Woogly?<BR/><BR/>The Funny Company?<BR/><BR/>Dodo?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the plug!JohnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033480276168015590noreply@blogger.com
