The series was based on books written by Lucy Maud Montgomery who also wrote "Anne of

simpler time in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

match that of the viewers who were forced to watch this bomb.

90: "Street _______" was the name of what show that featured a Toronto law firm?

The original run of "Street Legal" went from 1987 through 1994 on the CBC network. It held the
record for the longest-running one-hour drama in the history of Canadian television until it was
surpassed by another show in 2014. In 2018, the network suggested that they were considering a
revival for this show, which is a good thing. It should be brought back because it focuses on
Canadian laws, and Canadian court customs. These can be quite different than those in the US
where many of the other legal-type tv programs that are broadcast in Canada are created.

Harrison and Marcia Wallace. I saw one episode where the talent must have been a no-show,
because fellow Canadian game show host Stu Jeffries appeared as one of the 'stars'.

named after it, made from a wafer-crumb crust, custard or icing in the middle, and melted
chocolate on top?

Red Deer, AB

Mmm, Nanaimo bars are a favorite of mine! The origins of this treat are unconfirmed; some say
a housewife invented them and submitted the recipe to a magazine in the 1950s, others say they
were around in the 1930s, and some even say the bars were available in the 19th century! It is
easy to make variations of this recipe; simply add a flavor to the custard/icing filling (mint and
peanut butter are not uncommon), or use a different type of chocolate on top.
