Wow, amazing that Mr. Dressup had a similar show on TV in Canada for nearly 30 years and this is the first time Iโve heard of him.
Yep, it was a staple of my childhood.
The Friendly Giant needs some props too.
Don't forget about The Polka Dot Door, and Polkaroo too...
@Bonehead @sik0fewl @zeppo @owenfromcanada @fattymungo Geez, I still remember The Polka Dot Door song.
The Elephant Show was another big one for me. Got to meet Sharon, Lois, and Bram when I was too young to appreciate it.
Under the Umbrella Tree was another.
Yep. He's our Mr Rogers.
The man is truly one of Canadaโs greats. His work influenced/spanned 3 generations.
Basically changing Canada through its children.
Fred Rogers is another, truly.
