now Coke hmmm interesting huh

I can still see all those singers holding candles in muted light wow the memories

Soo long ago and yet way back then American TV was influencing us Canadians

The original Sesame street when it had a bit of an adult interest, it had dots that used to count off and the last dot was a cut up and often gave the other dots the "raspberry" or the last dot would float around out of formation. Gawd that was a long time ago. Again more american TV in my canadian childhood hooooo haaaaaa

Hey Minks, do you remember a Canadian TV show called, "The Starlost"? It was a very cool Canadian show about a group of kids on a space ark, that were trying to get to the control room because the ship was off course. The ship had hundreds of "domes" where the people had been cut off for centuries, so they had lots of adventures along the way. They rode between domes in "bounce tubes" that had no gravity. It looked like a blast.

I lived in Montana in the 70's in Havre, just 12 miles from Saskatchewan and we got lots of fun Canadian TV.

One show called, "Here comes the 70's" had a naked family walking into the ocean and we would always look at each other and say, 'Wow, those crazy Canadians!"

My sister counted once (I forget how many). She wrote to them and told them. They replied, "Thanks, but everyone's lick is different".

2 words were changed for the new series, The Next Generation. Anyone know what the 2 words were?

Is it: "It's five year mission. . ." changed to "It's mission. . " ?

And: "to explore strange worlds" to "to explore strange new worlds" ?
