Unhappy The Games Dealer's Play : (



Good Morning WestCoast`Mike,
That's a sweet 1st Gen 4>Sure....I love those...Tell the lady she is blocking the view...I'd bid on that Monte 4>sure..

You should go to another dealer away to get a price (are they writing the deal down on paper) or try to get prices from dealers in a 100 mile radius online....

I think the 1st Gen is a better investment....I'd like 2 have one with a 350 & a 4speed floor shift & a posi Rear...1st Gen Monte's are my favorite style Monte..Good Luck 2 U...

Good morning everyone. Its the first day of may and the second the last day of classes for me. Glad the week is almost over and I will be able to finally relax my head from all the test and papers I had to write. Once Friday is over I still have work the next day so no summer day off just yet. Have a great day everyone.

Hi `Brent & Member's,
I have never heard of "PolkaRoo syndrome", so I thought I would look in `up & share with our Monte Carlo Family > Why ? Just because > LOL

Oh, it's a Canadian Thing U guys have all the great TV Programs. We never watched much TV growing `up & we still don't...There's just to much fun outside to sit b-4 a device (LOL)
except a computer

Polka Dot Door

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Polka Dot Door
GenreChildren's television seriesCreated byPeggy LiptrottDeveloped byDr. Vera Good
(s)Dr. Vera Good (1971–1972)Producer(s)Peggy Liptrott (1971)
L. Ted Coneybeare (1972–1984)
Jed MacKay (1985–1993)Location(s)Toronto, Ontario, CanadaRunning time28:50Productioncompany(s)TVOntarioDistributorTVOntarioBroadcastOriginal channelTVOntarioOriginal run1971 – 1993ChronologyFollowed byPolka Dot ShortsExternal links[www.tvo.org Website]Polka Dot Door is a long-running Canadian children's television series which was produced by the Ontario Education Communications Authority (later known as TVOntario) from 1971–1993. The series featured two hosts who acknowledged and presented directly to the home viewing audience.
The content of the shows was generally geared towards education and creativity. Each week of episodes focused on a single theme with each weekday assigned a different "motif" in which the theme was explored in different ways (For example, Tuesdays were "Dress-Up Day" in which the hosts would use costumes to explore the theme).
One of the most well-known elements of the series was "Polkaroo": a mythical character created by a portmanteau of "polka dot" and "kangaroo". The character would generally appear once a week (on Thursdays - "Imagination Day") to only one of the two hosts while the other made an excuse to leave (in reality this was to don the Polkaroo costume). Upon the second host's return, they would typically express disappointment when informed that they had once-again missed Polkaroo. Despite appearing only once a week, the character became one of the iconic features of the series.


Creation and History[edit]

Polka Dot Door was created and developed by a team of employees from TVOntario, hired and led by original series producer and director Peggy Liptrott.[1]
Significant contributors to the creation and development of the series in 1971 included executive producer Vera Good,[2] who laid the conceptual foundation of the show, educational supervisor Marnie Patrick Roberts, educational consultant L. Ted Coneybeare, script writers and composers Pat Patterson and Dodi Robb, animator Dick Derhodge (who designed the familiar opening/closing animation) and Dr. Ada Scherman, a professor at the prestigious Institute of Child Study in Toronto who was consulted in the early stages ofPolka Dot Door's development and is responsible for giving the show its name.[3][4]
New episodes of Polka Dot Door originally aired on TVOntario Monday to Friday beginning in the fall of 1971 until the show's cancellation in 1993, >Now we know why `Brent get so sad > with reruns running in constant rotation both on weekdays and weekends well into the 1990s.
The show itself was an adaptation of the BBC children's show Play School. Initially many aspects and concepts of Play School were licensed by TVOntario for use on Polka Dot Door, including designs of some of the stuffed animals used in the show (which were similar to those used in Play School as well as educational film inserts/segments which were shown to viewers "Through the Arched Window" on Play School and "Through the Polka Dot Door" on Polka Dot Door.

What's up everyone? Supposed to thunderstorm here today, but it may have missed us because it's sunny and beautiful!

BeachBum Mike, I love reading about the BeachBum family. It's stories of your history like those that make you guys so cool.

Trying to be productive in life, still going to the gym, and might have a chance to mess with the Monte today.

I was going to post a review of these high beam headlights that I bought, but I deleted all the pictures in a particular album on my phone!
