the goodies used to get played on canadian tv after school back in the 70s. they were a very big deal to us as kids. i'd love to go back and watch all of it again. i think there are some eps floating around on yt. i'll try to track some down and watch a bit tonight before i turn in.
shareI don"t remember this one at all. I do remember On The Buses, The Two Ronnies and Fawlty Towers.
sharethey were a mainstay of cbc afterschool programming for a few years. would have been around 78, 79 i believe. it's possible that it might have only played regionally, i guess, though i'd be a bit surprised if that was the case.
just looked it up - it was national.
"In Canada, the series was shown in on the CBC national broadcast network during the late 1970s and early 1980s, in the traditional "after school" time slot, later a Friday night 10 pm slot, and occasionally in a midnight slot. Several episodes were also shown on the CTV Television Network. In the mid-1970s it was shown on TVOntario on Saturday evenings, repeated on Thursday evenings, until being replaced by Doctor Who in 1976. "
