Hinterland Who's Who - The Chipmunk

[LondonOntGuy]

When did they stop airing these? I haven't seen any of them in years.

[Tesiay]

Love these little guys. Would train them to take peanuts right out of my hand.

[SputnikJunior]

Good lord, all of a sudden I'm 8 years old and watching the CBC because cable didn't exist. Ahhhhhhhh!!! LOL. ;)

This was the kind of boring crap that got funded by Canadian tax payers. Like they had nothing better to do with public money. SCTV did a right appropriate parody on these useless commercials---"the woodchuck".

[imajeepster]

chipmunks are so cute!

[jimmyhendrix]

wow, this brings me back. I seem to remember when I was a kid sending away to the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa for magazines about wildlife. Anyone remember that too?

[xroomie]

interesting

[Duvmasta]

I fucking hate chipmunks!

[Shian222]

so far, only the loon hww has an intact loon call at the end, and the new ones dont have it at all.

I have started a facebook group to bring back the loon call on hinterland who's who and encourage others to reinstate the call, this is important cultural stuff.

I still love the SCTV spoof of the woodchuck and John cnady resusitating it to make more hinterland films :-)

[OofusTwillip]

@rtfordy - "A terrestrial day-active animal, the woodchuck hibernates in snowy climes."

The topper was, later in the episode, there's a parody of "Goin' Down the Road" ("Garth & Gord & Fiona & Alice"). In it, as Garth & Gord are driving from the Maritimes to Toronto, they drive right through the film-shoot, where the Hinterland segment is being shot...flattening the woodchuck. Eugene Levy's reaction (as the director) is priceless!

[joeblowthehot]

what is the POINT of all this..EH???? gads!

[xdrcft56]

I hated the melancholy music in these spots.

[Jontiac]

oh man, where'd I put my telephone at? I've gotta make a phone call, quick, and discover new factoids about the friendly, neighborhood chipmunk

[lordofsage]

Priceless!

I wonder who came up with the scary music theme? lol.

5 STARS LOVE IT!

[topoisomerace]

@lordofsage John Cacavas composed it.

[yvesperret]

[Alieneater1239]
