Studio 110 by Sophia 150333 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 Thought I would share my enthusiasm for some of the great TV icons we are so lucky to have! Remember how Canadian TV was almost a joke? Low grade and so uninteresting? I Do! I think Merlin Denis is an icon that really helped our Canadian TV into the "talk show" era The Social....much more fun and interesting the "The View" no offence to my American friends...lol Come dine with me...love this show...I wanna be on it! E Talk....love all of the reporters on this show, they "bring it home!" Canada AM....brings our country together as a big family:) What's your Canadian Icon? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canuckhooker 19202 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 Oh my... already on page 2 and nobody has mentioned Bruno Gerrusi as Nick Adonidas on the Beachcombers. I wanted to live in Gibson's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos 108589 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 Oh my... already on page 2 and nobody has mentioned Bruno Gerrusi as Nick Adonidas on the Beachcombers. I wanted to live in Gibson's. Post number 3 .... but Bruno deserves more than one nod in this thread. I grew up with my dad watching the Tommy Hunter show, and who can forget Stompin' Tom's foray into television. On the other hand, Peter Gzowski should probably have stayed on radio. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
