Quotes
[on 'The Bananas'] I was trying to create a program that was wry, ironic and sardonic - something to get the audience to question things around them. It represented a sort of civilized iconoclasm that I believe kids should be exposed to. It was quite successful with audiences, but it died for lack of funds - it was expensive for the time. We probably should have changed the title after the U.S. program aired, but the CBC really liked the name, so we stuck with it.
