55 North Maple was a Canadian afternoon television series which aired on CBC Television in the 1970-1971 television season. The programme was a fusion of talk show, how-to and situation comedy.

Premise

A magazine author (Max Ferguson) lives in a house at 55 North Maple with his sister (Joan Drewery) and her husband who was not cast but whose presence is implied. This premise provides a pretext to host various guests to demonstrate food preparation, redecoration or other how-to topics. In one episode, Ferguson described how to make carrot whiskey for guest Harry Freedman, while Drewery hosted other guests to illustrate interior decoration and fashion. A CBC statement described the production as "an information show in semi-dramatic form."[1]

Production

55 North Maple was produced by Elsa Franklin in Toronto at the studios of Robert Lawrence Productions.[2] John Ross was the programme's executive producer who allowed Ferguson "full scope for his inventive genius" and intended that the episodes would be unscripted.[1] This marked a rare television production for Ferguson.[3]

The 1973 Canadian series The Real Magees was a subsequent attempt to produce another talk show which was structured around storyline elements.[4]

Scheduling

The half-hour programme aired weekday afternoons at 1:30 p.m. (Eastern).
