This next item was posted to Reddit's Vintage TV subreddit recently:
The Ghost & Mrs. Muir had moved from NBC to ABC, and ABC had asked the cast to host a preview of their Saturday morning block. You already know about the freshman series from that season:
The Hardy Boys.
Hot Wheels.
Skyhawks.
The Cattanooga Cats.
The Smokey Bear Show.
Charles Nelson Reilly, of course, would star in Lidsville two years later. That same year, Hope Lange co-starred in The New Dick Van Dyke Show for CBS. It would take Edward Mulhare until 1982 (Knight Rider) before he landed another series gig.
All five freshman series were in effect cancelled after 1 season, though Cattanooga Cats was split into two half-hours with Motormouse & Autocat headlining the other rerun package.
