Miss Helen drawing my favourite childhood character – Oogly Woogly (the little boy worm)
Another show – Uncle Chichimus

You Can’t DO that on Television – (yes, that’s Alanis Morissette in the second row, far right)
On January 29, 1979, CJOH aired the first episode of this television series. YCDTOTV aired live on Saturday mornings with musical guests, games, slap-stick humor and call-in segments.
I was so saddened to hear the news about the fire at the CTV Ottawa building, especially sad is the loss of the archives, read today’s CTV news article – so many great shows were aired on the ( CJOH ) station back when I was a child. I fondly remember the Miss Helen show which was my favourite!
