Just Ask, Inc.

Introduced on WOW (q.v.), this science show for ages eight to twelve starred David Suzuki. His co-hosts were Lustra (February-March) and Ami (October-December), robots played by Joan Stuart and Luba Goy, respectively. Suzuki, a geneticist, was the best known popularizer of matters scientific in the Canadian mass media, and on Just Ask, Inc. he explored such problems as why people snore, why stars twinkle, why some cats are left-pawed, and other subjects in the areas of anatomy, nature, technology, and astronomy. Viewers were invited to write in with questions of their own, as the program tried to encourage children's curiosity. The eight part series was produced by Denise Duncan, with music by Bill Ivenuik and animation by Neil McInnes.
