 | | A natural subject for CBC television, already known to appeal to the Canadian public, the stories were tied up when Mitchell became involved in long negotiations for a U.S. television series to have starred Burgess Meredith and Brandon de Wilde as the title characters. |
 | | In the 1980 series, the sketches cast Cameron as characters from Hollywood, such as an Errol Flynn-like swashbuckler, Robin Hood, Charlie Chaplin, a Valentino-style sheik, and the Phantom of the Opera. |
 | | One of the most important and effective programming decisions in Canadian television took effect in 1982 when the CBC moved the national news broadcast to a time slot an hour earlier, ten o'clock, and introduced The Journal, a high profile, public affairs show, to fill the remainder of the hour. |
