From the ABC Weekend Special:
The late Beverly Cleary wrote a trilogy of books introducing Ralph S. Mouse, who debuted in 1965's The Mouse & The Motorcycle. Ralph made his television debut in a 1986 adaptation of this novel for the Weekend Special.
Captain O. G. Readmore, now voiced by Neil Ross (who also voiced Readmore in his animated adventures), is joined by guest co-host Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver, ex-General Hospital) for this two-parter.
For what it's worth, Frank Welker, who had voiced the puppet Readmore in previous seasons, gave up the gig as his cartoon voiceover workload began to increase, including freshman series The Real Ghostbusters.
Ralph would return two years later in an adaptation of Cleary's 1970 sequel, Runaway Ralph, another two-parter. Ray Walston (ex-My Favorite Martian) would return for the sequel.
No rating. Just a public service.
