Polka Dot Door was syndicated world-wide, including South Africa during apartheid. Cindy's proudest memory during those years was having the show air in South Africa. She received several fan letters saying that it was the only children's series shown in South Africa with black and white performers onscreen together. When the series ended in 1993, she continued to tour across Canada and U.S. with Polka Dot Door Live until 2010. Cindy also toured Canada for five years as host of Bananas in Pajamas Live.

In 1990, Cindy formed her own production company Time To Read Productions, creating the series Time To Read for MCTV and YTV. The series ran for five years and 130 episodes - using all Canadian writers and illustrators. Cindy also released a CD ... Sing and Spell with Cindy Cook. It was produced and written by Canadian music legend Willie P. Bennett and Kevin Knelman.

Based on the popularity of both series, Cindy created her own stage shows for theatres, festivals, fairs, schools, libraries and corporate events. She continues to perform her musical shows, covering the themes of literacy, environment, safety and her popular Christmas concerts - across Canada, U.S.A. and even Singapore.
