The Littlest Hobo (1979–1985)
A milestone in Canadian television (well, as far as a milestone in how far the dog walked)....

Warning: Spoilers
For those of you who have never seen this show, The Littlest Hobo was a show made during the late 1970's which featured a dog named London that wandered around and helped people with their problems. Granted, looking back at this program, the production values look really cheap, and the acting is quite stilted in places. However, it just has this kind of sentimental charm you can't help but ignore, and the theme music was quite good as well (the "On The Road Again" song). I still try to figure out why the dog doesn't just settle down with one person. People offer up numerous things to this dog, and they seem to be well-off, so why doesn't London just stay with them? Oh, that's right. So he can wander the back roads of Ontario while the "On The Road Again" song plays loudly in the background.

Bottom Line: Despite it's age, The Littlest Hobo has some good episodes, and won't bore you to sleep. Watch it if you have a chance.
