Marnie McPhail and Andrew Sabiston as The Edison Twins.
The Edison Twins was a Canadian television program which aired on CBC Television from 1982 to 1986 until the Disney Channel picked up the rights shortly thereafter; 6 seasons were produced by Nelvana Productions.
It starred Andrew Sabiston and Marnie McPhail as Tom and Annie Edison, Sunny Besen Thrasher as their mischievous little brother Paul, and Milan Cheylov as their bumbling friend Lance Howard. The show focused on the adventures of the main cast as they stumbled onto one problem after another, using the science wits of fraternal twins Tom and Annie to solve the situation.
The last name of 'Edison' is an obvious homage to Thomas Edison, the great American inventor.
