Codco on DVD - Sign the Petition
Codco and the Wonderful Grand Band are significant memories of entertainment from my youth. This Hour Has 22 Minutes alumni Cathy Jones and Mary Walsh are both among the founding members of Codco.
With $300, a church annex, and the comedic talents of Tommy Sexton, Diane Olsen, Greg Malone, Mary Walsh, Cathy Jones and Paul Sametz, Cod on a Stick premiered in Toronto in 1973 and Canadian comedy would never be the same. The successful and newly- formed Codco (Cod Company) brought Cod on a Stick “back home” to Newfoundland audiences and a legacy was born which continues to resonate today.
These guys were hilarious! There are a lot of classic moments, and even some Newfoundlanders missed out. It’s too bad that this piece of Canadian and Newfoundland history is not available for purchase today. But you can help change that! ;-) Why not sign this petition to help make these classics available to all?
Welcome to my Web Blah... er, Blog.

It WAS a great show. Codco/Wonderful Grand Band really captured the essence of Newfoundland humour.
