"Leo and Me" is a crucial part of Canadian television history. It marked one of the earliest forays into acting for the celebrated Michael J. Fox, a beloved actor whose influence spans across generations. Being a significant fan of Michael J. Fox's work, I cannot underestimate the importance of preserving and sharing "Leo and Me" not only for his fans but for everyone who cherishes Canadian culture and history.

The show premiered on January 8th, 1978. Unfortunately, unless you watched it when it aired in Canada, you can't see it anymore besides a few clips on Youtube. It remains largely inaccessible to the public. You can only access the tapes if you order them through the CBC archives, but you have to be in relation to someone who worked on the show.

With the 50th anniversary of "Leo and Me" approaching on January 5th, 2028, we have a remarkable opportunity to reinvigorate this classic series and introduce it to a new audience.

The CBC, as a public broadcaster, has a responsibility to preserve and share Canada's rich cultural heritage. By releasing the episodes of "Leo and Me" to the public, they would not only honor Michael J. Fox's early career but would also celebrate an essential piece of Canadian television history. This would demonstrate a commitment to making significant cultural artifacts accessible to everyone, thereby enriching the collective cultural knowledge and appreciation of our history.

Let's urge the CBC to take action in preserving Canada's cultural legacy. Sign this petition to support the release of "Leo and Me" for public viewing by its 50th anniversary in 2028. Join me in ensuring this piece of television history sees the light of day and reaches both fans of Michael J. Fox and all those who appreciate the depth of Canada's cultural landscape.
