By the 1990s, the duo were seeking a change in direction and appeared in their own sitcom "Cannon and Ball's Playhouse", the spin-off series "Plaza Patrol" and their game show "Cannon and Ball's Casino". "Plaza Patrol" saw them play security guards in a shopping mall.

Double Exposure (comedy series) moved permanently to television, moving from CBC Television to the rival CTV until 2000. On radio, the show consisted of comedic sketches and monologues; on its CBC television specials, their voice impersonations were often set to actual film clips of the politicians being satirized. The weekly series on CTV featured the pair in live sketches as well. In 2000, "Double Exposure" returned to CBC for a rare special radio program on the evening of the federal election. In 2002, Cullen and Robertson joined with other comedians in the new satirical comedy series "Point Blank", which aired on The Comedy Network.
