Was Nickelodeon a Canadian thing, because in the States every show on there in the 80s was produced up there.

Lmao the peak of his fame was fuck all. Fred Penner is waaay more important than Brent Butt and I bet he's kind as fuck.
we had YTV we swapped a lot of shows with Nick Jr
YTV was the shiiit. I only got to watch it at my grandparents house because we couldn't get cable where I lived.
The Zone introduced the world to Shawn Majumder though, who sucks.
What was that show where they just threw paint on kids?
Uh-Oh

In the '80s and '90s Nickelodeon wasn't available in Québec. I don't know about the other provinces. We had a lot of the nick shows, they just aired on other networks.
Could you imagine pitching that today "we're going to take children, and just dump paint on them when they get questions wrong"
Fred Penner's Place was where I heard the Canadian (bastardized) version of This Land is Your Land. "From Nova Scotia to the Vancouver Island." The fuck is that?

Does anybody remember that kid show under the umbrella tree? I wonder if they had that in America, because it felt like they put a lot of money into that for a kids show.
Yeah, remember "The Punisher" would drag them to the paint pod by their hair? The Punisher was a big dude in like a BDSM gimp suit, btw.
Fred Penner looks fuckin' based as hell these days.
Fred did some shoe-horning. He's a Canadian treasure nonetheless

I just googled it and God damn they aired that motherfucker on the Disney channel in America. So that's nostalgia for all of us.
"Look kid, I know this is Fred Penner's Place where all are welcome, but this next song goes out to the white kids. This songs called Nigger Fucker"
Does anyone remember Eric's World? It was the Eric guy from Sharon, Lois and Bram. He had his own sitcom type thing on TVO Kids and it actually kind of ruled. He lived with some alien puppet thing. First guy I ever saw play the rip saw, which sounds cool as fuck.
