Great times there during school field trips, sad loss

It was an outdated dump.

2020's kool aid -lean commercial

Just rewatched jaboody and the retro commercials and wowee did I find this because of it lol. This song man, a full bop 💞🥰💝🤌🏽

That Camay ad is creepy

YTV 2003 to 2004

Thanks Doug Ford... one horrible mistake after another !!!! More worried about "A Buck A Beer" than keeping this maintained. This was an awesome place!!!! I loved all the levels!

That little boy grew up to be the premier of Ontario.

I don't remember this commercial.

This went from a healthy commercial... To Promoting high cholesterol. Now we find out overloading ourselves with carbs based on the food pyramid was shoddy science. Now we come full circle and realize we should be eating eggs instead.... Again.

So many great memories of that place...glad our son got to go with his class just over ten yrs ago.

F@$& off with the commercials. More ads here than content.

Grew up in Flemington and we'd often go to the Science Center whenever it was free. I have fond memories when the "Sports" section was first opened. I really love the displays and the toboggan simulator, and my brothers would always line up to test their throwing speed at the pitching mound.

See kids? This is how great things were when your parents were your age, many decades ago. When governments actually gave a shit about the public sphere. This is what a something that is in state of good repair looks like. No well run public spaces for you though. That’s too much to ask.

I didn't know Aunt Ester had a kid!

Zou is up next here on sprout!

Translation of the French: Shut up, Wesley!

Somebody find these guys and have them film 2024 version because Spadina bus is (temporarily) back!

This is the most potent, concentrated distillate of seventies Canadiana I've ever seen. When you see them wheeling out the OCR font, you know you're in for a good time.

Is it healthy?

The writer & producer, Don Thompson, was my mom's cousin.

Sad how Morse always portrays a heartless creep in all of his roles with a bit of jerk thrown in.

A thing of beauty.

From a short story by Isaac Asimov. Didn't know it had ever been filmed. Loved the story, though. I've read it many times. It was in a collection I loved that was in our high school library called Tomorrow's Children: 18 Tales of Fantasy and Science Fiction, edited by Asimov.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Where’s McGruff the Crime Dog when you need him in 2024?🤔😏

I remember her!!!

haha thank you for posting this. As a teen, I kept trying to catch this entire commercial with my video camera, but somehow kept missing it. I only ever got the "AHHH" part where he falls on his face.

You know, I was probably watching that very intro segment, waiting for that new X-Files episode to begin. I remember it too, it was f'n terrifying and apparently too violent for TV as I heard it was banned shortly after? I could be wrong though (about it being banned).

Oh no, this breaks my heart! We are doomed!

In the USA it is The Incredible Edible Egg.

😢

I remember when they announced the Finale date on CityTV - I actually have the commercial on an old VHS tape...I was so devastated the series was ending. I just didn't want it to go. But alas, who knows how the series would've ended up had it kept going. Probably better to quit while they were ahead. Good times though...I'll miss them.

The problem is the past governments let the place deteriorate just like Ontario Place. This is what a lack of investment and vision results in. I went here as a kid and little has changed in decades

Sad: We need practical museums. Sadder prediction: There'll be several condominium buildings on this site within 3 years.

It was a co-production with a British company. There were six episodes in all, although this was the only science fiction one. One of the others was a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. There was an accompanying textbook, with all of the scripts in them. I still have my copy. This film the only 16 mm print I own, I have fond memories in high school English classes back in 1982.

Thomas the train universe is weird.

Watch it buddy.

Back in the mid to late 70's, I went there so often, I had a collection of tickets. When I arrived for my next visit, I would look ahead to see what the "color of the day" was and I showed the appropriate ticket to gain entrance for free. I loved that place and I never got tired of seeing the same stuff over and over again.

I like the Chuck Mangione theme better.

Microwave ovens and biodome beer. Truly we live in da future.

That little bastard is probably still living in there!

it strange.. I found the original on KZfaq a few years ago and now there's only this, which I've never seen before

I love waching ads from the 70's and 80's for their charm and to soak in the things of that time.

It's okay...most of Toronto residents these days are too stupid to learn anything from the Science Center anyways...

Ah, I remember that dish at 11:10. That was in the old "communications" room. There was a parabolic mic on the second floor and you could go up there and point it at anyone in the room and listen to what they were saying. So much fun back in the day.

P.S....Does anyone remember seeing Rick Green from "The Frantics" (and the Red Green Show) doing the laser show in the 1970's? He worked there!
