Pifffle & Co. is a Canadian comedy television series which aired on CBC Television in 1971.

Premise

Terry David Mulligan and Bill Reiter hosted this Vancouver-produced series, whose title was intentionally spelled with three F's. The sketches were performed by series regulars Allan Anderson, Graeme Campbell, Roxanne Erwin, Joseph Golland, Micki Maunsell, Shirley Milliner and Carol Oczkowska.[1][2]

Each episode was dedicated to a satirical examination of particular topic, based on titles such as "Pifffle & Co. vs. Canadians", "Pifffle & Co. vs. Health", "Pifffle & Co. vs. Love" and "Pifffle & Co. vs. Women's Lib".

Scheduling

This half-hour series was broadcast on Sundays at 5:30 p.m. (Eastern) from 11 July to 26 September 1971.
