Broadcast Run: 1967 to 1968

Aired Tuesday to Friday afternoons from September 1967 to January 1968

Shot on location in Oakville, Ontario.  Barney Boomer’s goal was to sail the Great lakes in his tiny houseboat, drop anchor in Sixteen Harbour and visit his Uncle Boomer in a local lighthouse, but the local councillor wouldn’t let him stay. The rest is history. The show was expanded, story-wise, and renamed, Upside Town.
