Mr. Dressup was like the Canadian Mr. Rogers. I was born & raised in a US/Canada boarder town, so we picked up CBC & CTV. As a kid, I remember watching Mr. Rogers, Mr. Dressup, Capt. Kangaroo, The Commander Tom Show, Romper Room, Polka Dot Door, Big Blue Marble, The Great Space Coaster & of course, Sesame St. & The Electric Co. I have many fond memories of that era. :-)

I used to love watching Mr. Dressup on CBC's CBUT-2 from Vancouver. However, I watched it on the transmitter based on Vedder mountain pointing down into Chilliwack, BC back in the 90s. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts in 2012, CBC pulled the plug on their transmitter there, so no more CBC in Chilliwack anymore. And that means no more Hockey night in Canada or any of those other CBC staples we used to enjoy back in the day. Gotta watch it on cable now.

Those of you who loved watching Mr. Dressup when you were kids, incase you didn't know this about Casey, the puppet's gender was neutral. It was never officially stated. It was done that way so both boys and girls could relate to the puppet and that Casey could be whatever young viewers believed it to be! Anyhow I imagined Casey as a Boy. Anyone who cares to comment on my post, what did you imagine Casey as? Boy or Girl?
@asadachi50348 жыл бұрын
I was too young to care about things, what you're bringing up doesn't matter in the least to children. It doesn't matter to me now as an adult either.
@sadee12875 жыл бұрын
Actually Casey was a boy. Mr. Dressup referred to Casey as "him" several times, most specifically, the episode where Casey is going to have a baby-sitter and he's a bit upset about it. No one was ever concerned about whether Casey was a boy puppet or not, least of all the children who watched the show.
