Old School Still Cool

Cool Canadian TV Shows, Eh?

Cynthia Kinnunen blogs about sharing stuff from your childhood with your kids

We were all snuggled up in front of the TV last Sunday morning for an hour and what should come on but The Littlest Hobo.  Without cable, this and Coronation Street is about as edgy as Sunday morning television gets around our place.

But the kids were enchanted by this wandering dog that would latch on to people for a time and well, save their lives multiple times during the half hour.  In this episode, a family was taking off on a six-month sailing adventure and had to leave their old dog behind. Hobo, of course, was watching and then stowed away (knowing they needed a dog on board for numerous rescues).  He ended up saving the day after a wild, shipwrecked adventure and the kids couldn’t stop talking about him for the rest of the day.
