The CBC took over Sesame Street years before it was reformatted to Sesame Park. It was known for a while as Canadian Sesame Street. I've never seen Sesame Park, but I do remember Basil. I think I stopped watching the program several years before the ill-fated reformat. I remember the Canadian takeover distinctly because they replaced the Spanish lessons with French lessons. Oh, and I seem to remember Basil being a new character during this change and I think he spoke French. I first started watching the American version when I was really young, so I witnessed all these changes taking place.
