Do you remember the night Hockey Night in Canada moved from radio to television? The Saturday evenings when Juliette sang to four million Canadians after the game ended? The Friday nights with Country Hoedown? The morning you first looked up, look waaaay up, at a castle window on a black-and-white screen?

Sign On is a celebration of the golden age of Canadian television - from CBC's first hesitant broadcast in September 1952 to the programmes that defined a nation across the following three decades.

125 giant print multiple-choice questions cover the shows, the performers, and the moments that made Canadian television a world of its own: Don Messer's fiddle and the national outcry when it was silenced. Wayne and Shuster's 67 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Beachcombers' nineteen seasons on the BC coast. The controversial cancellation of This Hour Has Seven Days. Paul Henderson's goal in 1972. The warm chaos of The King of Kensington. The quiet dignity of The Friendly Giant.

Each question is printed one per page in giant 24-point type. Turn the page to reveal the answer and a short explanation of the history behind it - the kind of detail that turns a right answer into a memory.

Written with respect for the generation that was there.
