Cucumber is a TV show produced by TV Ontario in the 1970s, and repeated in the 1980s during TV Ontario's daytime kids' programming. It featured a human-sized moose (played in costume by Alex Laurier) and beaver (Nikki Tilroe) living in a treehouse, and acting as amateur journalists as they present various educational segments on topics such as science or history. Segments were keyed to Ontario's elementary school curriculum, so that the show could be used as a teaching tool in schools.
This show provides examples of:
- A Dog Named "Dog": A moose named "Moose" and a beaver named "Beaver"
