ah yes - Definition.. the theme of which was ripped by Mike Myers for Austin Powers (not to mention the Dream Warriors in the early 90's hiphop "My Defininition).. and of course The Beachcombers and Mr Dressup as previously mentioned..
lets' not forget:
•The Friendly Giant (Rusty the Rooster, Jerome the Girraffe, an armchair for two to curl up in and a rocking chair for those who like to rock)
• King of Kensington
•Â The Littlest Hobo
• SCTV
• The Hilarious House of Doctor Frightenstein
.. lastly, a bit more contemporary - but the height of Canadian shlockorama - "Forever Night" about a Toronto cop / vampire.. cheeseriffic!
