Drawing Power, anchoring the back end of NBC's Saturday lineup in 1980, was from the same folks behind Schoolhouse Rock and the short-lived Metric Marvels, the latter of which aired on NBC 2 years earlier.
Most folks remember comedian Lenny Schultz as being the star of the show, and he also did interstitals for the network in the hours prior to Drawing Power. Here, though, he was actually aided by Bob Kaliban and Kari Page for this 1 year wonder. As it ended up, Newall-Yohe, the production company, was 0-2 at NBC, as this joined Metric Marvels in cancellation.
They could've retained an animated segment with Dewey Decimal, and brought that over to ABC to add to Schoolhouse Rock.
Anyway, this sampler comes from a VHS release circa 1994, 14 years after its initial airing.
