BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE MR. DRESSUP SHOW

- Hi! My name is Jim Parker and I'm a singer/songwriter, music producer. From 1983 to 1997 I worked as a writer, musical guest and puppeteer on the iconic, Canadian children's television show, MR. DRESSUP. In February 1993 I brought my video camera (picture a camera the size of a small suitcase) to CBC Studio 4 in Toronto and shot this "home" video of the making of an episode and a look behind the scenes. You'll see the set, Green Room where a rehearsal meeting was taking place, control room (in a trailer no less) and a puppet's eye view of Ernie Coombs (Mr. Dressup) doing his thing from behind the counter. If you enjoy it or have a question leave a comment below. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Mr. Parker for the home video of nostalgia, one of my favorite childhood television programs. My dad was a coal miner and his nick name was Mr. Dressup or Dress up for short. Dad had a lot of similarities to Mr. Coombs, heck we even had 2 chests in our basement...lol. God bless their souls... ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your amazing material with us and now the rest of the world!!!
And thank you for making the Mr. Dressup Documentary it made me happy
@@TrainmasterA9 youre welcome!
@@RobMcCallum99 You have no idea how much Mr. Dressup means to me as a person I was fortunate enough to see him in the 90s on CBC along with my favourite animated show of all time the Raccoons
This is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this. It was nice to see Ernie and Lois and my Dad, Hank Monis.
That’s what I was hoping. Your Dad was a great guy. I really liked him. He and I had the odd drink together while we were waiting for the train after taping all day. All the best!
Oh thank you so much for sharing this Mr. Parker you have NO idea how much you left an impression on me since my childhood!
Hey Trainmaster! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for subscribing! All the best!
@@ruffels444 My real name is Alexander Seib sir but thank you and you were a big part of my childhood, you Bob Dermer, Kevin Gillis, Len Carlson and of course good old Ernie Coombs himself
This is incredible to see! Thank you for sharing this. I watched Mr Dressup when I was young - before your time, I fear - but I remember seeing you when my mom used to tape the shows for my kids to watch (we had very little TV reception where we lived). You always radiated such joy when you played the guitar! And my kids loved all the puppets. Thank you! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words! 😀👍
Thank you for posting. LOL at that old boob that works for the CBC asking you what is this for. You said for home video. There was no RUclips in 1993! Great to see behind the scenes of Mr Dressup. Seeing him be real and the funny at heart man that he was. He was a Grandfather to many people. I love the set. The show is great. I show what I can find on RUclips to my kids. Now My son and daughters watches Blippi who I think is great. Mr Dressup was the best show that ever came out of the CBC.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm so very jealous of whomever digitized the old film and video tapes. I woulda done them for free 🙂
Hey. LOL. I just did it myself with a device I bought on line. Nothing fancy. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was fascinating!!! I recently vlogged numerous locations - Ernie's Pickering house, Studio 4, CBC main and the Butternut Daycare. Watching your video snd to actually see the inside of this studio was fascinating to me. Thanks so much for sharing!!!! 😊
Yeah, I thought people would get a kick out of it. 🙂
I heard you might be digitizing the cassette tape album you did with Mr Dressup.... still in the works?
Hi. Yeah, we've been working on digitizing all five of Ernie's records. It's taken longer than I'd hoped but we're getting close now. Can't say for sure but hopefully by the end of June. There may be some kind of announcement, not sure. I'll try to remember to let you know. There's a Dressup FB page and an announcement will be on there for sure. Thanks for asking!
@@ruffels444 thats awesome! I have 2 copies of it on cassette but dont play them much since im scared of them wearing out lol
