The Elephant Show

"The Elephant Show" (from the second season onward, "Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show") was a Canadian children's television show from 1984 until 1988. The show premiered on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and TVOntario.

"The Elephant Show" featured the wacky adventures of the Canadian singing trio Sharon, Lois & Bram, with Paula Gallivan in an elephant costume. Elephant, who never said a word, was represented by the sound of a tuba. They were usually accompanied by a group of children and a fun-loving sidekick, Eric Nagler.

Almost every episode contained a concert sequence with Sharon, Lois & Bram and Eric and the Mammoth Band. They would sing songs and help children with their problems, often incorporating music.

The second and third seasons both aired in 1986. The show aired in Canada for 5 seasons in total and produced 65 episodes.

In 1988, after the series ended, Nickelodeon picked up the show and aired it in reruns until 1995. The Nickelodeon airing removed some scenes in each episode (that had previously been shown on the original CBC and TVOntario broadcast) to make room for commercials.

After the series ended, Eric Nagler went on to star in his own series, "Eric's World", which was also produced by "The Elephant Show"'s producer, Cambium Productions.

Selected episodes of the show have been released on VHS in Canada.

The show also aired in Gibraltar on GBC TV.
