Episode 92 - Salty's Lighthouse
from Cartoon Night in Canada Hosted by Chris Luciantonio
On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie struggle to find anything of value to say about a show for preschoolers that is the epitome of lazy edutainment. A cobbled-together variety program which lets the creators of Thomas the Tank Engine and stock footage from 60 years ago pad the runtime, there is nothing to the paltry animation of Salty's Lighthouse beyond the decades old footage it records over. Yes, turns out this was a secret CanaDUB episode all-along that took the British nautical puppet show TUGS and made it more Canadian. We had nothing to talk about here, so we mostly let Sylvie politely hijack the episode to teach Chris about the rarely discussed Canadian classic Theodore Tugboat. We pulled a real Salty's Lighthouse and padded our own runtime this week...yet we showed more effort, somehow. Episodes covered for the podcast are Episode 19 & 20 "Strike Up the Band" & "Blanketly Blank." Animation directed by Sue Peters and Jeff Hall, and written by Barry Harman, Steve Edelman, and Scott Guy respectively. Original airdates February 6th and February 13th, 1998.
