> That’s rather unusual, seeing as _Schoolhouse Rock_ was three-minute shorts that appeared during ABC’s Saturday Morning cartoons. Are you sure you’re not confusing it with your visit to the Marianas Trench?

Well, I saw “Schoolhouse Rock” about seven times while watching something else (probably “The Tick”), so I think that counts. 😃

In spite of how Canadians feel about the CBC (i.e. pretentious, boring, and extremely Toronto-centric), they do cover sports well.

“Froiday noight! I’se _hates_ Froiday noight!”

Never cared for Codco myself, but I got a kick out of the Froiday noight girls. 4 on the Floor and Frantic Times before that is more up my alley.
