Sounds Good is a Canadian music television miniseries which aired on CBC Television in 1976.

Premise

[edit]

This four-part series featured particular genres of modern music and various performers. Jim McKenna hosted Sounds Good except the country music episode.[1]

Sounds Good was hastily produced on a low (approximately CA$40,000) budget when CBC's Studio 7 became unexpectedly available for three days. A previously-planned television feature on Nellie McClung was scheduled to film there but production was cancelled when ACTRA objected to the choice of an American actor portraying McClung.[1][2]

Scheduling

[edit]

The hour-long episodes were broadcast on 4 August 10 September, 18 and 28 September 1976.
