The Edison Twins

The Edison Twins

"The Edison Twins" was a Canadian television program which aired on CBC Television from 1982 to 1986; the Disney Channel also picked up the rights in the mid-1980s; 6 seasons were produced by Nelvana.

It starred Andrew Sabiston and Marnie McPhail as Tom and Annie Edison, Sunny Besen Thrasher as their mischievous little brother Paul, and Milan Cheylov as their bumbling friend Lance Howard. The show focused on the adventures of the main cast as they stumbled onto one problem after another, using the science wits of fraternal twins Tom and Annie to solve the situation.

The last name of 'Edison' is an obvious homage to Thomas Edison, the great American inventor.

Trivia

*McPhail spent childhood summers in Portsmouth, Ohio. She was later honored by the people of southern Ohio by signing a star painted upon the floodwall that protects the city of Portsmouth from the Ohio River.
