Hi Diddle Day This is an update to this post where I asked readers to forward me the name of a Canadian children's show from the 1970s that starred a crew of puppets. Originating as a local program from the CBC's Ottawa outlet on November 7, 1969, the daily children's puppet show Hi Diddle Day was seen regionally in Montréal and the Maritime Provinces until it was picked up by the entire network on April 18, 1970. Broadcast Run: 1969 to 1976.

Directed by Robert Butler. Hi Diddle Day was initially limited to the Ottawa, Montreal and Maritime CBC stations, airing Fridays at 4:30 p.m. although a special Christmas episode was broadcast on the network 25 December 1969. Hi Diddle Day. "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee " is a song from the 1940 animated film Pinocchio, notable as being the first Disney Villain song ever. Broadcast Medium: Television. A half-hour, puppet show for children, produced in Ottawa, featured Gertrude Diddle, the craggy and brassy mayor of a town called Crabgrass, who was widely thought to be a satire of Ottawa mayor Charlotte Whitton. While the Riddler maneuvers Batman into being sued, the Dynamic Duo investigate the supervillain's concurrent scheme.

Well, reader Roland Gauvin e-mailed me today to let me know that the name of the show I was looking for is "Hi Diddle Day," a CBC series that aired in either original episodes or repeats from 1969 to 1977.
