Anyone here know whether Noreen Young or NYP have any plans to bring the show back to the airwaves? If so, when and by what channel? PatrickA 08:32, 29 December 2005 (UTC).
While this show may be popular in the US, it doesn't take away from the fact that it is a Canadian show. It is policy from what I have seen in Wikipedia to use the appropriate spelling for the country involved. The "original" spelling is only valid for articles that do not deal with any particular country of origin. -- Earl Andrew - talk 07:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
The was produced in Canada and originally aired on the CBC. That looks like a pretty solid reason to use Canadian spelling. I can't agree that subsequent Disney ownership or a U.S. fan base would change that. Durova 04:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
The show was conceived by Canadians, greenlit by Canadians, produced in Canada by Canadians, and the rights are now held by a Canadian company (Cinero). The fact that it was co-produced by a U.S. company for 2 of the 7 years that it was produced, or that it was aired in the U.S., does not mean anything.
I have to say that I feel that the "no strong ties" test is being twisted all out of shape here -- it does not mean that any indicia of any foreign involvement suddenly negates the nationality of the article subject. Based on that theory, the William Shakespeare article should have American spellings (!!!!) because more editions of his works are published and read in the U.S. than in the U.K. I agree with Vary on the proper enunciation the test -- it was meant to apply to articles like sleep and table. It wasn't meant to give rise to speculative debates such as this (e.g. the author used American spelling, therefore she must be American, therefore she must be an American fan, therefore the show must be popular in the U.S., therefore it must have strong ties to the U.S.).

It seems that everyone who has commented on this issue (Earl Andrew, Skeezix, Vary, A.B., Durova, and following my review of the arguments for both sides, me) other than OLP 1999, believes that reasonable application of the relevant Wikipedia policies result in the conclusion that Canadian English should be used. The only real argument in favor/favour of American spelling seems to be addressed by WP:OWN. I think the consensus is for Canadian spelling, and trust that OLP will accept that.

Image:Threeutut.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

If anyone knows who composed the theme song that would be helpful. I think it is the one major component to the article that has been left out. Even though the show is a somewhat vague memory the song is lodged in my head for all eternity.-- Indiemike79 06:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
The displayed Start date in the article right now is September 11, 1986 on CBC. The IMDb is useless. I scrubbed La Presse TV Listings in PDF format at the BanQ. The first instance I found was only a year later, October 5, 1987 at 10:15am, airing monday, tuesday and friday, sandwiched between Fred Penner's Place and Mr. Dressup on CBMT-6 Montreal, CKMI-5 Quebec City and CBOT-4 Ottawa. Quebec City's Le Soleil and Sherbrooke's The Record newspaper also confirms this. Unless the show started airing on a different local channel with a reference, the start date will be updated shortly.
