The Edison Twins is a Canadian children's television program which aired on CBC Television from 1982 to 1986. The Disney Channel also picked up the rights in the mid-1980s. 6 seasons were produced by Nelvana. It starred 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. Each episode ends with a short animated sequence illustrating a key scientific principle demonstrated in the preceding live action story. The last name of 'Edison' is an homage to the inventor Thomas Edison. As of 2013, the show has not been released on DVD. All six seasons are available via streaming through Amazon Instant Video.

12. Lance's Luck
1986-09-03
Lance gets Tom, Annie & Paul to participate in a bowling tournament & are known as the Weston Strikers! In each team, there's a pro or league bowler, two amateurs & a junior member. Four teams participate & The Weston Strikers along with the Roll & Bowl Bombers make it to the finals, two games; one on each home alley. In the deciding game, Lance's game has gone bad & thinks that his missing lucky locket is causing his losing streak. Then Annie notices that the bowling balls are all greased up. So she goes to Lance's car to get some sunglasses. She shows Tom & Lance that their lane is all oiled up causing a strike to be impossible to make. The four told the rival owner what he did & then asked the referee to change lanes (from lane 12 to lane 13). The Weston Strikers make a comeback to win the tournament (when Paul converts the 7-10 split). They donate the prize money to the owner of Lance's favorite bowling alley so he could remodel the place.
