Who can fill in the holes in my memory about the CBC. [View all]

And Saturday afternoon programming circa 1967. As a 5-year-old I remember a Saturday Afternoon children's show that had rotating features. The feature I can describe the best was called Wacky Movies, or maybe I incorrectly remember that as its title, which was basically silent movie slapstick. I remember a Robin Hood type of character in a different feature named Terry LeFraw? At 5 years of age you mishear a lot so his last name could be something else but his first name was definitely Terry. This is the feature I am most curious about since I recall hoping that Terry would be the feature each week. Terry may have been French but since I don't speak French I'm sure the show was in English. The series may not have been national, I suppose, but perhaps just shown locally in Thunder Bay. Of course in 1967 it was still Fort William. I appreciate any help offered in remembering this show.
