Not gonna lie,,, it did bring tears to mine!! I wish I could have met him before he passed away. Great great man and I am so glad the audience gave him such a great welcome and love.
I'm from the U.S. but here in Minnesota some of us got CBC in the 80's. Mr Dressup was my favorite show when I was a kid. Most people have no idea what I'm talking about when I bring it up today. I feel very fortunate to be one of the few kids from the States who was able to have Mr Dressup in my life.
This was from when Canada was still Canada. This show would not be allowed today. It would be some alt left garbage. Defund the cbc it’s just the propaganda arm of the liberal party.
I would have been like that crowd back then. Even when I was a teenager, I used to come home for lunch from high school, turn on the TV and his show would be on, I would sit and watch it and sometimes be late getting back to class cause I just enjoyed it. He was just fun to watch. A lot of the kids at school were still that way with his show. They would ask why I was late getting back to class, I told them, I was watching Mr. Dressup. They would just laugh and say they would have done the same.
I can tell by your comment, user name and pfp that you never grew up and are still a perma-kid. I wonder if you will ever move out of mom's basement now...
@@Mohawks_and_TomahawksI can tell by your username you live on a reserve. I don't really think that. But THATs how ignorant your comment was so get bent
Only way Ernie Coombs would've been on TPBs is in season 1 & 2, they shot those seasons in 2000 & 2001 & I doubt he wouldve agreed to be on the show knowing the shows content. But if he did, his episode would DEFINITELY be my favorite.
Relive childhood through his show. Great to be alive and human to do so. There were so many memories of what I was doing when his show was on. He opened the world of make belief in every drawing and every skit. It tugs at my heart knowing those days are long gone.
As someone from Michigan, the only thing that could make this more nostalgically Canadian is if he walked out with Muffy from Today's Special to The Raccoon's theme song.
Watching Jonovision after school, as that was the first thing on during the day. I was expecting there to be archives in perfect quality of all the episodes, but after years, there's still nothing, but low quality bits. Even Red Green show has a full catalogue online. E.N.G was available briefly, before it was taken down, but at least I know a good capture set exists. Jonovision was part of culture. Street Cents - another show that is nostalgic. Official channels have some modern episodes, but it ain't the same selection. All the good stuff is gone. I can't believe no one was recording.
MR Dressup, Polka A Dot Door, Sharron Lois & Bram & Degrassi. Now that's Canada. Add some Friendly Giant @ all would be perfect. The world so needs a little Ernie Coombes & MR Dressup right about now.
