Something nutty I wonder about Gobo...

[MrsPepper]

i was jus kidding i know they are from canada i used to watch them on the CBC from Buffalo NY i loved the canadain staion Polka Dot Door, some show where they were in a dept store and the manaquienn came to life it was great

Do you mean Today's Special? Love that show!

You know, when I posted this topic, I thought it would get 1 crazy answer or a "What time do you start drinking, Dr. Tooth?"

I still think it's Jerry's homage to the Canadians, even though I always thought the "eh?" was a stereotype perpetuated by the MacKenzie Brothers.

Oh no, people do say Eh, just not to that extent, exactly. Hosehead.

Yep.

Gobo is supposed to sound like " our friends up north " according to one of the Fraggle Rock character guide things I have from the show ( acquired from good ol' eBay ).

Not only does he say " eh " quite frequently, but also by some of the ways he pronounces certain words... particularly his own name. Also, and I'm not sure if this is a Canadian-ism or not but, at times, Gobo pronouces the word " again " as " ay-GANE ". I tend to pay attention to voices for some reason, ( a fetish of mine I guess ), and I believe I've heard other Canadian pronouce " again " that way.
