The Forest Rangers

The Forest Rangers

"The Forest Rangers" was a Canadian television series that ran from 1963 to 1965. [http://www.angelfire.com/retro/cta/Can/ForestRangers.htm CTA information] ] It was a co-production between CBC Television and ITC Entertainment and was Canada's first television show produced in colour. Executive Producer Maxine Samuels founded the show.

The series ran for three seasons, a total of 104 30-minute color episodes (although Canadian and UK audiences wouldn't get to see them in color until long after the series ended). Early episodes of the series aired in serialized form as part of a CBC children's series entitled "Razzle Dazzle", hosted by Alan Hamel.

This was the first major series appearance of Gordon Pinsent, who would rise to stardom in Canada in the late 1960s and continue to be an in-demand Canadian character actor into the 2000s. He left the series in 1965 to star in "Quentin Durgens, M.P."

In June 2004 there was a reunion for ex-cast and fans just south of Kleinburg, where the show was originally filmed. Six of the ex-junior rangers appeared and Peter Tully flew in from his home in Ireland. Another reunion is planned for 2013. [ [http://www.geocities.com/frreunion Forest Rangers Reunion] ]

The show's first season was released on DVD in the spring of 2007 and its second season will be released in 2008.
