Four on the Floor is a sketch comedy series which aired on CBC Television in 1986.
Character
The show's most famous character was Mr. Canoehead, a quintessentially Canadian superhero: on a canoeing trip in Algonquin Park, he was hit by lightning while portaging his aluminum canoe, which became permanently welded to his head. As a crime fighter, he would capture criminals by turning around so that the canoe knocked them over.
The character had been originally developed for the radio show Frantic Times, with the troupe initially uncertain how to make the sketch work for television.
