What is this and is it available to watch on youtube
>>84554822
Dumping a bunch of money into the CBC and creating self-contained, well-written, well-acted short series like the BBC does.
Cable is already dying as a medium and CBC does have a YT channel (a couple, I think) but if we really wanted to save Canadian TV we would need to pour a bunch of ca$$$$h into it and export it as a cultural thing.
Basically, turn the CBC into the BBC

It gave us Misfits, Black Adder, Monty Python, Black Mirror, and The Prisoner. That's more than Canada's ever done for well-developed and acclaimed television series worth watching. Pic related: what happens when you do the BBC wrong.
>>84560611
Whoops, I take it back on Misfits and The Prisoner, but let's just add Top Gear and Dr.Who in their place as far as influential shit the BBC has made.
Let's toss E4 in there as a kind of Teletoon/YTV hybrid of "must contain Canadian content" and it's clear that the UK has us beat by a wide margin.
Cartoons, eh, they're not good at making them, but how and why is British original programming so much better than ours?

>>84560899
I think part of it is just how far Britain is to the USA compared to Canada. In Canada, if some prodigy film director or something is born, they just flock down to the US where the big boy's club is because why wouldn't they? It's the easiest thing in the world to just move south and the USA's industry is much bigger than Canada's. Hollywood is filled with Canadian people for just that reason, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, because only the dregs are left behind. It's not so easy to arbitrarily relocate in Britain, so instead talented people are forced to actually stay in their own country, which may have a smaller industry but is built up by their talent not getting siphoned off somewhere else.

Not as much nostalgia from that since they played that for a long time.

>>84566396
I really want someone to do an animation of that sounds effects kid.
>>84562419
Fuck, that was kinda horrifying.
Also, they're called slip resistant work shoes, dumbass. Look into them.
>>84566138
So that one kid's thing is doing laundry?
>>84566138
I never liked this message, and it seemed like it got pushed a lot in the 90's. That everybody is born with some kind of special talent or ability, everybody has one particular thing special about them and that's that. It's just not fucking true, it's wishful thinking at best, but weird wishful thinking because it's not even that positive. I'd rather have many 'things' then just one.
I guess the message is supposed to be more like 'however you want to live your life, be proud of it', but why not just say that? Why was everything trying to peddle this 'one thing' bullshit?

I always remembered bits and pieces of this show but I didn't remember the name. Thanks anon.
can anyone tell me what that show was with all the creepy stories that use to air on ytv? I remember the intro was some kid walking into a movie theater and buying a ticket then eating I think bugs for popcorn? There was one episode where there was a girl obsessed with clothes then lost them all and came to school in a towel for the rest of her life
>>84569376
>There was one episode where there was a girl obsessed with clothes then lost them all and came to school in a towel for the rest of her life
>>84553801
This was aired in latinamerican CN as shorts, with the puppet parts cut out. I didn't know it was canadian or that it even had puppets originally.
All these old PSA's are just making me realize never paid attention to them. They played all the time so much I could probably recite them start-to-finish back in the day, but I don't think I ever noticed most of the "messages" behind them. Except for the "don't you put it in your mouth" song. That shit was catchy as fuck, there's no avoiding that message.
>>84569376
Freaky Stories?

I love how all of this shit is nostalgic to Canadians but the most fucked up shit ever to anyone else.
>>84570337
not to mention when they brought THIS over here to the 'states on Nickelodeon. (it originally aired on CBC in Canada, right?) I found it both nostalgic AND fucked up at the same time thinking about it today. It was pretty damn good for a puppet show.
I still know all of the words to the theme of Zoobliee Zoo without having to listen to it.
WHEN DID THIS

>>84570337
Canadian television used to be fucking great because we constantly had spooky shows. It felt like a non-stop Halloween on TV.
>>84553591
This one felt pretty iconic to me but it was played so damn much that I really appreciated the part where this guy says,"Choose not to watch."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwP1ZazcIl0
Also damn that girl at the end is hot, I wonder if she did anything else aside from that commercial.

I think I learned like 15 words through nine years of mandatory french education, thanks to bullshit like that show wasting time and not actually teaching jack shit.
In a couple months of using duolingo my vocabulary is up to 1300 words.
>>84571842
Noddy had this show, I think it was "Make Way for Noddy" or something, that I remember like years and years ago.
Like, in fifth grade I would watch Sprout every-so-often for some reason, like originally ironically, but then I just continued for reasons I don't really understand. Partially it was for what little nostalgia fifth-grade me could have had, but another part of it was reasons I can't even describe.
The Good Night Show. That was the shit.
>>84572025
Dude, Nanalan episodes are only, like, three minutes.
