A French-language dub of the show, titled Les routes de l'amitié, later aired on La Chaîne française, Ontario's then-new francophone educational service, in 1986.[2] American television producer Norman Lear also purchased American rights to the show in 1980;[3] however, he did not indicate at the time whether he planned to syndicate the existing Canadian show or produce an Americanized remake, and neither plan subsequently materialized. However, the series later aired in the United States on Nickelodeon circa 1981-1983.
The series won an award for Best Television Series from the Canadian Film and Television Association in 1979.[3]
