I live in Upstate New York and every once in a while, these Hinterland clips would appear on American TV. I wish they would bring these commercials back.
There was a short-lived updated Hinterland Who's Who series a few years ago and I believe there was an updated version of this loon PSA. Anyone know where I can find it?
Loons do kick ass - literally. A recent study shows that loons will often fight each other to the death. Google "quirks quarks cbc loons" for the podcast about the study. It will freak you out.

Sorry folks, these ads remind me of sitting in my basement waiting for Get Smart to come on. Pretty depressing.

These were great but pc movement says a woman must announce the new ones and it;s not as good as the guy who does these .

I love the sound that loons make...such a beautiful noise....I still here it occasionally when I visit my aunt.

The flute at the beginning gives me goosebumps, lol.

I love these old HWW's. I love the flute intro, and John Livingston's soothing voice.
Oh, yeah...I also love the animal info!

Does anyone know who wrote the music for flute in the beginning? I've been trying to hunt it down for awhile now.

The original Hinterland Who's Who music is called "Flute Poem" and was composed by John Cacavas.

These take me back to my childhood. But now that I'm living in Norway and there are no Loons here I suddenly miss them. They are the sound of summer.
