Westinghouse Broadcasting's Group W Productions was known mostly for talk shows in the 70's, as they distributed Mike Douglas & David Frost's yack-fests to local stations, for example.
In 1974, Group W branched out with its first series for children, Call it Macaroni, a series of monthly specials that ran during the 1974-5 season. According to what few sources are available, only 12 episodes were produced., if but because Westinghouse didn't have enough resources to try a weekly version of the series, though, to tell you the truth, I thought they did, or not enough faith in the product.
Let's check out a sample episode, "Gym Dandys":
I recall it airing on WPIX in New York. In Albany, it aired on WTEN.
Rating: B.
