Johnny Nash had a #1 hit on the Billboard chart in 1972 with I Can See Clearly Now, but generations of Canadian kids are more likely to remember him from his singing of the theme song of a Canadian television show. What was the show?

fairly certain this is the old Hercules cartoon from the early '60s...I grew up on that show

Correct!

I uploaded copies of the opening and closing credits to my YouTube channel, because the quality of the existing ones was kind of shitty.

name the tv show whose theme song contained these lyrics:

"There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill"

Hint:
Here's some more lyrics (some of the lyrics are blanked out as they would give it away.) This was a very popular primetime drama show and had a fairly long run..4 or 5 years IIRC.

"There's a magic in the early morning we found,
When the sun rise smiles on everything around.
It's a portrait of the happiness that we feel and always will,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Oh we spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes.
If we're ever puzzled by the changing times.
There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "

Jost,

I made you a template if you are interested in continuing the TV theme questions. Just copy it to your computer and caption in the question with www.ribbet.com

If anyone else is interested, I can make templates for other subjects on request. Or you can make your own, follow the instructions on the post above.
