- Quotes
Theme Song: ["Not A Lot Goin' On"] You can tell me that your dog ran away / Then tell me that it took three days / I've heard every joke / I've heard every one you'd say / You think there's not a lot goin' on / Look closer baby, you're so wrong / And that's why you can stay so long / Where there's not a lot goin' on.
- Crazy creditsThe third season episode "The Littlest Yarbo" replaces the show's usual closing credits theme with "Maybe Tomorrow", the theme song from the 1980s TV series "The Littlest Hobo."

Featured review
fine, goodnatured comedy from Canada
Now here's a fine comedy series. As the years went on, it lost a bit of steam - there was an element of repetition and thus of boredom creeping in - but it's easy to see how and why it became so popular.
I'm especially fond of the various cameos sprinkled through the series, particularly when these cameos come with a hefty dose of surrealism. (An example : an older lady, looking both frail and distinguished, is asked whether she is a Mrs. Clarkson, former governor general. When the lady replies that yes, this is indeed her name, she is immediately invited to help tear down a barn. Later she is shown mauling a barn, with all the fervent pleasure of a missionary tearing down pagan idols - because hey, that's what you do when you're a Canadian.)
Firmly recommended : the episode where Dog River engages in a twinning project with a Japanese counterpart. It all ends in tears, with innocent civilians fleeing in panic before the inexplicable cruelty of the Dogriverians. (Or Dogruperians. Or something.)
