CFTO CARTOON PLAYHOUSE WITH ORIGINAL COMMERCIALS (1984)❤

[@davidmacdonald1855]

getting up early on a Saturday and having to keep the volume on low not to wake the parents:) Thank you for sharing this.

[@daviddalrymple2284]

For me, Pinnochio and the Wizard of Oz were morning shows on my local Global affiliate in the late 80s. I would sometimes watch them during summer vacation .

[@RatKindler]

I had largely stopped watching cartoons by 1984 but this Wizard of Oz cartoon was 23 years old by that point and I still remember loving it what I was a kid. That theme song takes me right back.

[@davidmacdonald1855]

Learnt something new today: Have been thinking about the Tales of the Wizard of Oz. I always enjoyed the voice of the Tin Man but could never place it. Just looked it up online and Rusty was voiced by Larry D. Mann. A Canadian who also voiced the Wicked Witch and Yukon Cornelius in Rudolph:)

[@misterprickly]

I loved this when I was a kid! What a wonderful blast from the past.

[@neverwares]

I legit thought that Wizard of Oz show was a fever dream

😂

[@illiamdeebe7579]

Glorious! This is gold.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

I remember this. :) The New Adventures of Pinocchio and Tales of the Wizard of Oz. :)

[@paulquantumblues3599]

Wow. This is so amazing!

[@knowpassword]

I remember watching this! 😊

[@sralyn]

Woke up every Saturday at 6 am to catch this.

[@frankdenardo8684]

Saw this on my visit to Toronto

[@Parkwaymania]

Classic! Now if we could only find "Pick a Letter" with George Fehr. Thanks for this.

[@Fuliginosus]

YES! I can hear the music in my head, but haven't actually seen 'Pick a Letter' in this century.

[@sparklecanada0112]

Definitely! He was a pivotal part of these cartoons.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Oh Pinocchio was a happy lad since the day he lost his strings he can walk and talk and fly Do anything I try He can dance, sing a tune, play a flute Do anything I try But he must never ever ever never ever ever ever Ever fib ever tell a lie.

Yay, Canadian content to save our station!

I think the boy in the Corn Flakes ad is Yannick Bisson.

[@billywall7752]

The Kellogg's cereal boxes in Canada were the 70's designs used in the US.

[@RatKindler]

23:56 They edited the Wizard's blackface minstrel gag. Neat!

[@bobfist1219]

What I would like to see is CTVs Untamed World. Come on someone must have copies.

[@salianni16]

I'm holding out for The Trouble With Tracy! I loved that show!

[@sparklecanada0112]

[@glennymac14]

@5:33 I've watched this spot at least 15 times.

[@sparklecanada0112]

I still take my grandchildren to Chuck E Cheese. 😊

[@daviddalrymple2284]

Funny how Canada was where you went to outsource cheap animation in the 1960s.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Asia wasn't up to snuff yet, and Mexico still had kinks to iron out.

[@trewashington787]

Is this in Canada?

[@inversion66]

CFTO is the Toronto station of the CTV Network, and is often considered their flagship station.

[@trewashington787]

@@inversion66 so the answer is yes?

[@lisahardy9707]

Really these are the best cartoons they could find?

[@inversion66]

They must have been incredibly cheap.

[@andrewmacf]

Murdock!!

[@Barnaclebeard]

Kinda weird how Tin Man sounds a bit like John DiMagio and Scarecrow sounds a lot like Billy West

[@inversion66]

Alfie Scopp did the Scarecrow, and Larry D. Mann did the Tin Man.

[@elihechtman8]

And their respective names are Rusty Tinman and Socrates Strawman.
