The Other Eye is a Canadian public affairs and variety television series which aired on CBC Television in 1967.

Premise

This series was an attempt at a late-night talk and music variety series. Its debut episode was broadcast the day after Domnion Day and featured Newfoundland premier Joey Smallwood plus a segment in which Canadian citizens were challenged by questions posed to prospective immigrants at Canadian citizenship court. Series regular included Henry Cuesta and his trio. The series was created as an entertaining counterpart to The Public Eye.[1]

The series did not continue into the regular season, nor did proposals to establish a similar local late night show for CBLT Toronto, The Local Eye.

Scheduling

This series was broadcast on Sundays at 10:00 p.m. from 2 July to 27 August 1967. Episodes were 30 minutes except for the hour-long debut broadcast.
