Mike & Mike's Excellent X-Canada Adventures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike & Mike's Excellent X-Canada Adventures is a Canadian television show, which aired on MuchMusic.[1] Hosted by Mike Campbell and Mike Rhodes, the series was a travelogue in which the hosts travelled to a different Canadian town or city in each episode, profiling interesting people and local events and attractions.[1]

It premiered in 1989 as an expansion of shorter segments that the duo had previously produced for Rockflash.[2] It was cancelled in 1994,[3] with Rhodes leaving MuchMusic while Campbell remained with the network in other capacities, including as host of the later Going Coastal, until leaving in 2002.[4]
