And when the young lads dial stopped on Teletoon, he came across an episode of a show that led him to making said show a permanent part of his TV viewing schedule.
That episode was the ever popular first season romp: Store Wars.
This 22 and half minuet tail of streamers, massage chairs, dancing cacti and rip off artists, was the first giant step into converting me into a die hard fan and since that day it has been one hell of a toboggan ride.

That is almost exactly like my first viewing of the show, Taranchula, only Telletoon is on channel 23 in my area.
I was flipping through channels and happened upon the episode "Store Wars". I made an effort to avoid the show because Telletoon's advertisements for the show made it look like it was a show for their pre-school line up. I was hooked immediately.
I was very fortunate that it was that particular episode that I chanced upon. I was absolutely captivated by Frankie's character and her efforts to keep everything under control amidst the sheer chaos that the others where causing. I was overwhelmed by the excellent writing, vocal performances, animation, and the intelligence that the show emitted. I knew then and there that I struck gold.
