Subject: RE: BS: Obscure Canadian TV shows...
I see where Tugboat Annie and The Last of the Mohicans were both produced by the same company. Lon Chaney Jr. played Chingascook (sp?). I was really into Radisson, syndicated in the UK and Australia as Tomahawk. Radisson was an important Saturday afternoon show in our town. And I used to watch Tidewater Tramp after school every day--a widowed freighter captain and his teenage daughter steaming up and down the B. C. coast. I remember an episode where the captain was given a rose by a lady passenger, which he tried to keep fresh (the rose, not the lady) by keeping in a glass of water with an aspirin dissolved in it. The daughter was worried that the captain had fallen in love but it turned out he was just trying the aspirin stunt to see if it really worked.
