Saturday School: Remember Project Literacy? (1986)

 In 1985, Project Literacy was formed to help not only children, but adults, too, to learn. ABC & PBS joined forces for a series of specials and interstitals, which included commentary from President Ronald Reagan, and a number of network stars.

Around 1986, ABC began running interstitals during its Saturday morning programming as well as in primetime, utilizing the talents of some the stars on their primetime roster, including Oscar winner Louis Gossett, Jr., John Ritter, and, in this quickie, Dana Delany (China Beach).


I wouldn't blame you if you didn't see these the first time around. 

Eight years later, Dana was cast as Lois Lane for Superman: The Animated Series, entering the toon pantheon.
