Saturday, August 19, 2006

On Saturdays, we're going to do something different. We're going reflect on a happy time when Saturday mornings actually meant something. Cartoons.

O.G. Readmore hosted the ABC Weekend Special (at least from 1985 until the end of the show's run in the 90's). It was a television show that tried to get kids to shut off the television (which within hours would result in missing the Pro Bowler's Tour) and pick up a book. The nefarious method by which this was attempted was to run fairly well-produced adaptations of children's books both old and new.

O.G. Readmore wasn't merchandised much, but there is an animation cel available.
