  • Living in Shuster's House

    Living in Shuster's House

    --> Bob Aaron [email protected] January 19, 2002 Living in Shuster's house I'll always treasure the aura the late comic left behind as the original owner of my house You could say the recent death of Canadian comic legend Frank Shuster hit me where I live. Emotionally and literally. You see, the place I call home was built for Shuster in 1951 and he lived here for 19 years during the heyday of his world- famous television show. So, as a devout fan of Frank Shuster and his partner Johnny Wayne, starting from the time their CBC TV shows were broadcast in black and white, I feel lucky to be surrounded by the magical Shuster aura. The study where these New in Homes columns are written every week was the workroom where the two comedians created so many of the television scripts that are now entertainment classics. Back in July, 1955, a magazine called Canadian Homes and Gardens ran a photo feature entitled "Wayne and Shuster at Home." It's apparent, when comparing the photographs of the 1,800-square-foot Shuster house back then, with how it is today, that not much has changed. The furniture is different, of course, but the living room, dining room, centre hall and main staircase look today just as they did in 1955. Even our living room piano is in the same position as Shuster's was back then. Although the built-in bookshelves in the Shuster study have remained the same, the comedian and his partner might not recognize the room, which is now crammed with computers, printer, fax machine, desks, file cabinets, and a lot of books on real estate and coins (my other life interest).
  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*

    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*

    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.

    A Street by Any Other Name Is Just As Sweet

    --> Bob Aaron [email protected] August 1, 2009 A street by any other name is just as sweet Some roads named in a person's honour are well thought out; other choices come into question Searching title to a local condominium townhouse last month, I was surprised and pleased to discover a Toronto street name that was completely new to me. Joe Shuster Way is in the King West Village area, north and east of King and Dufferin Sts. Joe Shuster (1914-1992) was a native Torontonian and is best known as the co-creator of Superman, one of the most famous and commercially successful fictional characters of the 20th century. His family lived nearby in the area of Bathurst and College Sts. before moving to Cleveland for business reasons. As a youngster, Shuster worked as a newspaper boy for the Toronto Daily Star. When Superman first appeared in 1938, his alter ego, Clark Kent, worked for the Daily Planet, modelled after this newspaper. Toronto was the inspiration for Metropolis, Superman's home city. In another tribute to the artist, the Joe Shuster Awards were named in his honour and are presented annually to honour achievements in the field of Canadian comic book publishing. Credit for naming Joe Shuster Way goes to Toronto developer Urbancorp, which transformed the old Massey Ferguson lands into a thriving neighbourhood, now home to 1,400 people. Urbancorp also gets credit for naming two streets that intersect with Joe Shuster Way. Laidlaw St. is named after George Laidlaw, promoter of the Credit Valley Railway in 1879.
  • Researching Television History: Bime-Time Canada

    Researching Television History: Bime-Time Canada

    Researching Television History: Bime-Time Canada, by PAUL RUTHERFORD* Television came to Canada in one great hurry. In 1951, only 43,000 households, a mere 1 per cent of the total, had a television set.' After the introduction of Canadian television late in 1952, a buying craze started in the cities of central Canada which soon spread throughout the nation, paralleling the expansion of the service and its coverage. By 1961, 3,757,000 households, or 83 per cent of the total, had TV. Indeed, more homes had a television set than a flush toilet, bath, or sh~wer!~Viewing statistics show that the TV was one of the most used appliances: in February 1959, on any given day, nine out of ten households had a television on at some point during the daytime or evening. Most of the viewing took place in the evening, especially between 8:00 P.M.and 10:OO P.M. when about 80 per cent of these households were tuned in.3 That made prime-time viewing the most widely shared cultural experience of the vast majority of Canadians. This article investigates the prime-time phenomenon from its origins in the early 1950s to its maturity in the late 1960s. This grand story mixes a number of distinct tales. First, it raises a question about whether this era was, in truth, a "golden age" when television's novelty fostered an innovative art form that maturity would later stultify with formulas and conventions. The story includes the noble experiment of a national television service (public and private, francophone and anglophone) which strove to supply viewers with a Canadian brand of entertainment and affairs.
  • Canadian Humour

    Canadian Humour

    Canadian humour Canadian humour is an integral part of the Canadian Identity. There are several traditions in Canadian humour in both English and French. While these traditions are distinct and at times very different, there are common themes that relate to Canadians' shared history and geopolitical situation in North America and the world. Various trends can be noted in Canadian comedy. One thread is the portrayal of a "typical" Canadian family in an on-going radio or television series. Examples include La famille Plouffe, with its mix of drama, humour, politics and religion and sitcoms such as King of Kensington and La Petite Vie. Another major thread tends to be political and cultural satire: television shows such as CODCO, Royal Canadian Air Farce, La Fin du monde est à 7 heures and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, monologuists such as Yvon Deschamps and Rick Mercer and writers, including Michel Tremblay, Will Ferguson and Eric Nicol draw their inspiration from Canadian and Québécois society and politics. Another trend revels in absurdity, demonstrated by television series like The Kids in the Hall and The Frantics, and musician-comedians such as The Arrogant Worms, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie and Bowser and Blue. Satire is arguably the primary characteristic of Canadian humour, evident in each of these threads, and uniting various genres and regional cultural differences. Humber College in Toronto and the École nationale de l'humour in Montreal offer post-secondary programmes in comedy writing and performance. Montreal is also home to the bilingual (English and French) Just For Laughs festival and to the Just for Laughs museum, a bilingual, international museum of comedy.
