I was 8 and remember the show well. The theme music came back to me as if it were yesterday.

I loved Hot Dog! I was only six when it first aired. I likely haven't heard the theme music in nearly 40 years, and yet it still instantly brought back warm nostalgic feelings for me when I just now heard it again. The show was intriguing and engaging, and just plain fun! It seems the Food Network's show Unwrapped is the logical descendant of Hot Dog, but, unlike the sedate Unwrapped, Hot Dog was whimsical. Someone out there, please upload some whole episodes, in good condition, please.

maybe the weirdest thing ive ever seen. i think the whole showing of just the opening and closing credits only and none of the program was an especially nice fuck you to anyone viewing this

I was surprised to see Frank Buxton credited as creator/producer/director. I knew him for a little while in the 80's (we were in an improv troupe in L.A.). His prior connection to Woody Allen was Allen's "What's Up, Tiger Lilly?", for which Buxton provided some of the dubbed voices. Nice guy.

I've never seen this a day in my life. I must have been too busy watching Mr. Dressup on CBC.

Unbelievable! I play by ear, and I used to play the "Hot Dog" theme song on my little chord organ. I can still remember the tune, but the show is such a faint memory... So I thought I would TEST You Tube, not really expecting any results. Wow! If it was 1970, I was 8.
