Take Thirty
''Take 30'' (also expressed as ''Take Thirty'') was a Canadian television newsmagazine series, which aired on CBC Television from 1962 to 1984 for 2,500 episodes. An afternoon series originally designed as a "women's show", the series gradually evolved into a showcase for serious journalism, airing documentary reports and interviews on social and cultural topics. Despite the title, the series at times aired in a 35-minute timeslot, as was the case in late 1965. The program's original hosts were Anna Cameron and Paul Soles. In 1965, Cameron left and was replaced by Adrienne Clarkson. During his time on the show, Soles was also a busy voiceover actor for animation, best known for shows such as '' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' and ''Spider-Man'', both of which were produced concurrent with his work on ''Take 30''; he was also a regular on the comedic game show ''This is the Law'' during this time. Clarkson left the show in 1975 to become a host of '' The Fifth Estate'', and was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This Is The Law
''This Is the Law'' was a Canadian panel game show which aired on CBC Television from 1971 to 1976. It presented short, humorous vignettes supposedly set in various towns and cities across Canada which ran with musical accompaniment rather than a soundtrack, and challenged panelists to guess which (obscure) law of that particular region was being broken by the "Lawbreaker" character (portrayed by Paul Soles), who always got arrested at the end of the vignette ( Robert Warner starred as the police officer). The vignettes were quite subtle, and more often than not, despite many guesses, the panelists were unable to come up with the law that was actually being broken, as the laws featured were generally archaic - though, at the time of production, still on the books in the featured communities. (An example: in one vignette, the Lawbreaker is seen wearing a caveman-style costume at an event and engaging in dubious behavior before being suddenly arrested. After the panel failed to cor ...
