if you grew up in canada (or in some parts of the US which got the show via PBS) in the 80s/90s, you might remember Owl/TV
i can't think of a more wholesome, future-positive, environment conscious and upbeat kids science education show. it embraced exactly what it meant to be canadian: the excitement of living your life as a cooperative steward, and the world as a place to be explored instead of exploited
their animated intro on CBC expressed the exact mood and posture of the show. voice actor Cree Summer: you deserve honorary citizenship here for nailing the intro song 😎
(edit: turns out cree summer already has dual citizenship!)
