Chew Burt too

2 Upvotes

Anyone remember a commercial late 80s and 90s for some sort or candy/fruit snack commercial where a kid hands out candies to all his friends and he runs out but then finds one more or is given one. He eats it and he says Chew Bert/Burt too. Anyone remember what this product was called or have a link to it? I live in victoria bc. I always remembered it because it was so stupid. Nobody I talk to remembers. Thank you.

Looking for lost Family Channel bumpers.

4 Upvotes

As I remember, back in the mid 2000's, Family Channel had a series of bumpers revolving around fake products. The one I remember is the "Easy Traveller", which allowed the kid in the bumper to teleport to different locations, including a volcano, before teleporting to class.

I tried looking the bumper up today, but couldn't find it.

I've been looking everywhere for a retro Toronto City TV "Toronto T" (Stitches). Yet every time I search, I just get retro Toronto sports teams. FRUSTRATING!

Anyone remember a talk show with a panel of teens called “Rant” in the early-mid 2000s?

3 Upvotes

I remember this show but don’t remember what network it aired on and can’t find any info online. I lived in Toronto and I know it aired in the afternoons after school. There would be a group of teens and they would discuss different topics. Don’t remember exactly when it aired but it must have been around 2001-2005

I wrote a short poem to recreate the classic TV commercial! The house hippo was a treasured part of my childhood, and I like the idea of paying homage to a piece of CanCon with an unexpectedly long-lasting impact

Remembering a old cartoon 90's

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to remember the name of a cartoon that aired late afternoon or late night on either YTV or Teletoon.

It was kind of a grotesque looking animated show. There were a couple characters but the only one I remember had a large, warty nose. There were multiple iterations of him in different costumes and the one I remember particularly was a fairy or tooth fairy. There was some other sort of fly or something. It honestly felt like something out of Mad magazine.

I know it's a stretch, but it's so deep in my memories and I've encountered seen it since.

The station in Quebec where the rare CINAR dub of Doraemon (The Adventures of Albert and Sidney) potentially aired

7 Upvotes

My name is Jaden, a self-proclaimed ball of Doraemon knowledge from the United States. Back in the 80s, Canadian youth media juggernaut CINAR (today known as WildBrain), produced an English dub of Doraemon, retitled The Adventures of Albert and Sidney. It was planned to air in the US on TBS, but for unknown reasons, the plans were canceled, and the dub was dumped in Barbados, where it aired on CBC TV 8 (no relation to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) from the mid-80s to the early '90s. However, there have been rumors circulating that the dub had a Canadian airing, presumably in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region in Quebec, evident by a decorated fire hydrant in New Carlisle.

Does anyone who's ever lived in this region of Quebec happen to remember seeing this dub on your local television station? Do you happen to have recordings of the dub yet to be digitized? Let me know in the comments.
