This just in from the CBC: no more Mr. Dressup reruns.
"The tickle trunk will be closed for the last time in September, as CBC officially retires Mr. Dressup. As of July 3, the show moves from every weekday at 11 a.m. to Sunday morning only and the last broadcast of the much-loved children's show takes place Sept. 3."
It's a sad day in Canada. I adored Mr Dressup! I remember a few years ago, someone who might prefer not to be named and I were watching a show about Canadian TV shows for children. They interviewed a half dozen people of varying ages about Mr Dressup. Person after person got choked up talking about how much they loved Mr Dressup, Casey and Finnegan. I looked over at my unnamed companion and both of us had tears too. Although I've not watched it in years, I'm pleased to see it's on DVD.
