The Edison Twins is a Canadian children's television program which ran for six seasons on CBC Television from March 3, 1984 to December 17, 1986. The Disney Channel also picked up the rights in the mid-1980s.[1] Six seasons were co-produced by Nelvana Limited and Canada Films.

Synopsis

The series stars Andrew Sabiston and Marnie McPhail as fraternal twins Tom and Annie Edison, Sunny Besen Thrasher as their mischievous little brother Paul, and Milan Cheylov as their bumbling friend Lance Howard. Brian George stars as their police officer friend Sgt. Paganee. The show focused on the adventures of the main cast as they stumbled onto one problem after another, using Tom and Annie's scientific wit to solve the situation.

In later seasons, Corey Haim joined the shows as recurring character Larry.[2]

Many episodes end with a short animated sequence illustrating a key scientific principle demonstrated in the preceding live action story.

The last name of "Edison" is a homage to the inventor Thomas Edison.
