The Littlest Hobo

This dog thinks he's the bees knees. He's like a nomadic Jessica Fletcher, but slightly more do-able.

[@crugee]

This song is so fabulous. The end music is even better than the opening I think bacause of the clever and beautiful last few bars of music. I loved it as a child and I still love it today, I'm now 40 years old and I just started crying when I watched and heard this! We are so lucky in this day and age to be able to hold on to our childhood memories by recording them. We can watch them over and be children again for as long as we live.

[@Norolia]

Quality. Always remembered this after seeing it on TV as a kid... Seems to be a very strong message there!

[@lamujermaslinda]

Brings back wonderful childhood memories. The closing credits always made me cry as a child, and now today, it makes me cry harder.

[@Hoodoo123]

God the memories! I STILL can't watch this without crying!

[@Kingchimera31]

I was almost in tears also cyber..omg..i loooooved this show when i was growing up..hell..I wanted London for my own..lol

[@cujo9]

hobos great, he doesn't need to stay or depend on anyone , he's off before you've had chance to thank him , a bit like me ! a classic tv series i will always hold fond.

[@babygiraffe123]

I used to watch this when I was a kid!!! What great memories it brings back!

[@YasminHendrix]

I used to watch this as a little girl in South Africa! I can remember it always being a bitter sweet thing to watch, can't remember why, but it must be like tribetng says because I can't remember any particular episode as it was so long ago. I think I always felt sad seeing him on the road and not somewhere safe and protected.

[@cujo9]

i loved this dog , he kept leaving, on to new adventures.

[@conjigalo]

I'm from the UK and i watched this show every saturday morning. I wish London the dog could live forever! just like my childhood dreams...

[@MrMoisheLebowitz]

I couldn't stop crying , seems everyone here still loves Hobo. My respect to all of you.

[@Proclivitytolife]

..this reminds me of my grandmother..watching it with her during those youthful summers....ah,.....

[@ERIK0816]

love the song and the show, brings back great memories from my childhood in Ontario, amazing dogs in the show

[@sausageslaps]

omg this is the ending of this show i have been looking for. i couldnt help myself but to get emotional. we all grew up on this

[@34839ld]

I didn't have cable when I was a kid, this is ALL I watched. Best Canadian show of all time!!!

[@sausageslaps]

i almost cried my eyes out when i first saw this, its been twenty years since i saw this.

[@EnergonCubed]

There is no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad owner ;) Lol This song will always be stuck in my head!

[@allpossibleworlds]

It's weird in a way, I don't think I could re-watch episodes of this show w/o ruining it on myself, just b/c when you're older you know how unrealistic it all is. But listening to the theme music still makes me feel emotional & I think it's partly b/c there is actually this depth to the show - as I kid I always felt sad at the end when he left a potential home, and now I recognize it as this idea of a creature with a self-sacrificing altruism, and there is something very touching about that.

[@retepnosbig4859]

my impression was perhaps he wanted to leave it on a good and have good memories rather than stay and potentially be hurt....its generally how hobos become that way...

[@ElectricPineapple79]

I just can't watch this withought it making me cry. Especially when you see him on the train...i'm in tears!

[@Sportymale]

I can remember I watched this show back in about 1991/92. It was on Channel 7 here in Australia at 9am. My brother used to set the VCR to tape it it for me, and I'd watch it after I came home from school. Was my favourite of all time. By 1995 they stopped playing it, and when a Channel 7 reporter came to our school one day that year, I had a go at him and told him to put it back on! Still love this show today. I wonder how long London lived for, as I get sad to think that he'd be long gone now.

[@netzajack]

I miss this show and I can listen to the theme song over and over.......aaaahhhhh!

[@coastersdisco]

i NEVER MISSED AN EPISODE OF THE LITTLEST HOBO 1ST CLASS PROGRAMMING

[@whaler3232]

That brings back memories! Me and my sister used to love this show, don't really remember any episodes, just the song!!!

[@TheRaletalk]

the littlest hobo will never save the two people who didn't like this

[@downhomesunset]

This show made me fall in love with german shepards-I was soooo dissapointed when i couldn't find one that looked exactly like one!

[@ruthbarron625]

I love German shepherds too. They're brilliant dogs.

[@kopitetommy]

I cried in my 1st year of uni when this song came on brought back some childhood memories. such a happy show and just a nice story

[@PetShopMod]

Dont even ATTEMPT to hold back the tears.

[@PindleofKujata]

I fucking loved this show as a kid.

[@misschatterteeth]

I grew up on this show also! I still love it! I am very excited that it is now playing early mornings on saturdays. If you live in ontario tune into CTV 7:30 am on saturdays and you can watch it live on the air :)

[@biggerbrother]

I remember the dog as being smaller! I used to watch this just for the theme tune! LOL Classic!

[@cyberteque]

Ok, I'm in tears now! I didn't think anyone else remembered this show! I didn't realise how much London looked like my dog Ralph! No wonder I forgive Ralph's bad behaviour!

[@ksbaxter]

I agree with you, when I saw the ending I tried to hold back the tears but I couldn't help it, it's so sad to see him go after a case has been solved. I love this show.

[@cujo9]

a golden angel of light, hobo touched everyones lives, but he cant stay and has to be off to somewhere else.

[@jrdds]

The ending song combined with the ending video was without doubt the absolute perfect combination. There are very few family-oriented shows like this anymore, especially ones that had such a globally spanning appeal like Hobo did. Count me amongst the crying majority.

[@Wally1967]

I use to watch it on Sat mornings in Australia way back in the 70s/80s, and it's Canadian made.

[@ALPHA000102]

This series needs to be released on DVD for both the citizens of Canada and down here to citizens of The United States of America.

[@andrewbarrett42]

This was shown in the UK aswell I use to watch it when I was a kid,I want this on DVD.

[@clumpyify]

this still tugs on the heart strings

[@valkythealky]

Programmes like this made me want to leave the UK and move to North America when I was a young child, great theme tune (along with Greensleeves for Lassie)

[@SophieCalifornia]

I used to watch this when I was a kid. It was popular in the UK, but filmed in Canada.

[@LondonOntGuy]

This show needs to be put out on DVD, like NOW!

[@cne08]

This is the best Canadian made show ever.

[@77and]

I always cried at the begining.......It reminded me of my dog.

[@Novacoma]

Exact same thing. Down to every single word.

[@sambuca1971]

I have the same dog...........he is just beautiful

[@ALPHA000102]

I like the differences in the tones between the begining and ending theme song and the music at the very end isn't include in the opening. This is one great television show

[@HilaryMG]

What a great dog! and what a great actor, and just love the song...Oh and btw that dog IS the bees knees!

[@HilaryMG]

We are all in tears or could be, such a great dog and a great song and of course a great singer. Sure dont make them like that anymore..unfortunitly!

[@katsura_animator]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was such a beautiful theme, and I especially loved the end credits coda.

[@Tyvak]

:D! I used to watch this every day when I was really young with my grandmother! They took it off the air though. :(

[@omegarugal78]

Honestly, i miss the series and little London. They rocked. ^_^

[@justpiscean]

yeah quality dude and so fitting the dogs bollox.

[@Delisle4]

I just made a comment on another video of the opening credits of this show and I know exactly what you mean. I am crying now as I write this. I was always worried about how London was going to find food and shelter for the night even though I knew this was a show, When I used to watch this show as a kid, this used to be my biggest concern. I used to watch Hobo on CTV no Sunday afternoon. Even seeing the closing credits now with London in the sunset gets me right in the gut.

[@BlutoDaBoss21]

loved this from Trailer Park Boys XD Ricky just reminiscing hahaha every stop i make, i make a new friend. great song

[@crazyrabbits]

Is this the best original Canadian TV theme ever? Yes. But only ahead of King of Kensington.

[@adamdicy]

Yeah, I used to watch The Littlest Hobo all the time with my Mom, it was the best show ever(London was a siberian husky I think??)...and tristanunsworth I agree with what you said about that show 'Dog House' featuring the St. Bernard, that show was cancelled after only one season, thank god I couldn't stand that damn show for a second.

[@gigidetrini]

ohhhhhhhhhh i loved this show!

[@shadow2777]

I remember seeing this show on CBC

[@LiquidDemonsVIDS]

· Opened as the Canadiana in 1963 · Became the Ramada Renaissance in 1982 · Became the Sheraton Toronto East in 1988 · Now the Delta Toronto East

[@geowar42]

it makes me sad 2! stepdad luvs this song & prograame!

[@idontsignin]

OMG, i am having a nostalgia moment.lol

[@lamujermaslinda]

im gonna go and hug my dog now lol.

[@Emberella]

Reminds me of my good friend Laura - OOOOOOOHHH SHINY!

[@chazza234]

Loved this tune!! Still do :-)

[@domirules28]

@RNC200707: it woudl've been great to see london meet up with fred penner....when i was a kid, i used to think the two shows were related due to the similarities in the intros and outtros....(both lead characters) wandering through fields, woods, over fences, and across water...

[@Delisle4]

A big slice of Canadiana!!!

[@thebigloc1]

I loved this show in Ireland didn't show it si saw it in htv Wales channel on Sunday mornings with one if my bros. I cried as the dog would find a home with a person/s he'd help them, they'd get attached to him and he'd leave even thou he didn't need to. What got me was the person he'd leave behind how heart broken they'd be he left and does anyone know how the show ended???? I bawled watching the end theme now.

[@retepnosbig4859]

the end was always a sad moment... 🥺

[@abbiebeast]

To my Heather serving in the USAF - I dedicate this to you my little Lou-Hoo and Joey will meet you there in ND!!

[@ALPHA000102]

That's the original black and white series from 1960-1963. They need to bring this new colored series out on DVD. I plan to write to the production companies and ask them to do just that.

[@orange8619]

the littlest hobo is cool.

[@sinistergates]

I´m agree, the ORIGINAL one souds beautifull than de newest, i hope somebody upload would be great.

[@Zombotron]

The show was filmed and produced in Canada.

[@ehizojesebholo]

Zombotron another reason why I love Canada

[@ChescoYT]

@patsysheila79 im sooo glad i wasnt the only one!!! i use to ball my eyes out loud! my parents had to try and get me to calm down, cause while watching the end credits i thought he would never come back...loool

[@Dimigrey]

POOR LONDON He is now doing his tricks at the rainbow bridge RIP LONDON

[@crazyrabbits]

The description for this video is amazing. The original theme should have been released as part of a soundtrack release, not a remake by the same singer.

[@JaredLewisMusic]

love this !

[@ANXIETY247]

i think it was filmed around Guelph, on.

[@Dansen76]

A person remembers if this poor dog is finally a home at the end of the series?

[@Hoodoo123]

i too used to cry

[@jackiechan511]

I'm surprised that the Littlest Hobo actually did a lot of scenes in Toronto that are still intact today (assuming you know the location)

[@shinzon37]

The last episode was when he visited a korean family he naver made it out alive !!!

[@Woodstockwaslife19]

it is on amazon

[@agentolshki]

i remember the end more than the begining, just for a moment there i was 6 yrs old again. im assuming london (the dog) is dead so rip london. lassie was shite in comparison.

[@PunkyBear36]

You're too late. Do a Google image search on "The Littlest Roadkill episode".

[@SArhodes]

Shine on you beautiful son of a bitch.

[@bigh210670]

How sad he was walking along the road one day when an artic had a blow out swerved to the side and now he is the flatest hobo! Should have been on a lead and who picked his crap up? Pesky animal!
