When I was a child, I got to meet London, the dog who portrayed the Littlest Hobo, in those days. He and his handler came through the local mall, and I asked my Dad if we could meet him. Dad agreed, and so, we met London. My Dad bought me a print of a charcoal sketch of London, and then London "signed" it with a pawprint. I was thrilled, and put it on the wall of my bedroom.
But time passes, and my poster of London gave way to other posters as I grew up. Led Zepplin, the Rolling Stones, you know.
I moved out, and my Led Zep and Stones posters were as worthless to Dad as was my London poster. They all went in the trash. Memories of a faraway time, and times change.
But now, while I don't need Led Zep and Stones posters, I do wish I had my Littlest Hobo poster signed by London. I never met Jimmy Page or Mick Jagger, but I did meet London, and his adventures as The Littlest Hobo were a large part of my childhood. I wish I had my poster back.
What a nice story Chevy and yes - that signed London poster well - its a shame! With that said - you got to meet London so the memory of that is the real gem! Its a great story too. My mom threw out my Star Wars toys to my horror and could only imagine if they were kept.. There's some things a parent should never throw out but parents are well parents

Yeah they were good times.. T.O's party vibe was something else back then... Then we became more pffft 'sophisticated' lol... Le Chateau - I remember when that was all the rage - now there is just so much competition - they are a shadow of their former.

Aw, I loved The Littlest Hobo! How lucky you were to have got to meet him. I would have been thrilled, too.
I think it's worth it to mention some shows in French, since they are often the most-watched *Canadian* shows, ratings-wise. Even if it's only in one part of the country.
For example, aside from sporting events, this is the most watched Canadian TV show in history:
La Petite Vie.
Here is a Christmas special from the series featuring a relatively famous person
I was quite surprised to learn that "Highway Thru Hell " has been sold to over 70 other countries, with dubbed in dialogue. Truckers that I converse with from the UK are astounded by the conditions in the mountain passes in BC, and the amount of work that it takes to recover some of the truck wrecks.
Heavy rescue operators have to be innovative, and able to adapt to what they see when they arrive at a accident scene. That big western star twin boom rotator truck represents an investment of all most three quarters of a million dollars, and Jamie Davis has two of them, plus another 35 smaller trucks, in two locations......Hope BC and Lac La Bish, Alberta.
A few weeks ago I was tying to remember the show with the Jones and Mary Walsh, thanks for mentioning Codco.
Other shows I would like to mention are Serial, The Great Detective, Wojack and Quiten Durgess MP. At least they were all good in their time.
As a kid I also liked The Littlest Hobo
Ok will admit the littlest hobo theme makes me feel sad makes me just want to adopt the dog
