For at least 11 years now, I have been on the hunt for the 2005-2007 era of Kids CBC. I'm referring to the garden dome one with not just Patty as host, but the other four hosts: Joyce, Kush, Mark, and Holly. As of 2024, it still hasn't been found at all.The earliest search efforts date back to a March 25, 2011 post on PacificDomes that showed a picture of you and the four other regional hosts at the time, as well as an overhead photo of what the set looked like.

I was pretty much the only one who remembers the intro, as I first watched Kids CBC back in at least 2006. From what I can recall from memory, the intro showed you flying a plane to the dome, where you then pull the other hosts out of a TV. Other interstitials I remember from the era were "Cooking with Kush", "Music with Mark", "Hobbies with Holly" and of course "Painting with Patty". (I dunno if Joyce had one though or if one exists, but I think it might've been called "Journaling with Joyce" idk). I also recall the block signing off with the credits with a panning shot of the set in the background. I'm not sure what other segments I remember from the era, as my memory is quite hazy. I also recall Dot (the animated character that first appeared in 2003) appearing in the intro at least twice.
I then later discovered two segments from the same era, that being the aforementioned "Painting with Patty" and the "Nap Rap".
And I first heard about the "Hobbies with Holly" being the name of a segment after discovering a video that was posted in May 2013 on Holly Bernier's Facebook page: fb.watch/t55cR7iQbU/
A user on Reddit also told me about a lost Kids CBC show called "You're It!". It was basically where you put the hosts, including the animated character Dot, and their short segments into a 30-minute show with a different theme each week. The show combined animation, live-action, puppetry, music, and movement to educate and entertain the viewers.
Overall, I am honestly quite shocked that this certain era of Kids CBC has fallen through the cracks, given how many other obscure eras manage to make their way online, such as the Care Force era from 2007 and the Get Set for Life eras from 2000-2003. If anyone could find any "Kids CBC 2005-2006" stuff, then that's a good start.
Great to hear more people are interested in this!
