Good Show

It was a good show for kids. It involved three teens who start their own newspaper the "Herbertville Chronical" They discover that the coachhouse where they work in is able to transport people to different galaxies and the excitement starts.

Although it was a cheezy TVO production, I remember being intrigued by it when it first came out when I was ten!
