It had gotten to the point where ABC was no longer asking for a lot of 1st run animated entries for the Weekend Special, like its sister series, the Afterschool Special. Live-action had become the way to go, and, not only that, but by the mid-80's, fewer episodes were produced each year.
Neil Ross, who'd been voicing Capt. OG Readmore in animated interstitals and some episodes, now voiced the puppet version of Readmore, acting as series host. Joan Lunden (Good Morning, America) joins Readmore for this 1987 repeat of a 1985 entry, "Columbus Circle", headlined by veterans Peggy Cass (ex-To Tell The Truth, The Hathaways), & Nancy Walker (ex-Rhoda, McMillan & Wife, etc.).
No rating. Just a public service.
