I get warm fuzzies viewing all the nostalgia from my childhood in this thread.
I had totally forgotten about Mayor McCheese!

Like the proverbial House of Frightenstein librarian dusting off the old book, I'm reaching in the dark back recesses for these two.

Those are great! This is better than a good chunk of current TV programming

The only unfortunate aspect is that the SD quality footage combined with the dark night scenes makes it very difficult (for me at least) to make out a lot of the details in the footage. Otherwise it's an awesome time capsule of 80s Toronto.

5 cents to toast your bread is a total rip off.

Totally a ripoff.

Why, I can remember when I was a kid in the 1960s, if you had a quarter, you were RICH!!!

- bag of chips - 5 cents
- chocolate bar - 5 cents
- bottle of pop - 10 cents (with a 2 cent deposit)
- three penny candy - 3 cents.

TOTAL - 25 cents.

What is with that wretched hair style of "Mother"? Looks like it was fashioned out of tuna rarebit.
