ABC Weekend Specials/CBS Schoolbreak Special - A treat for the younger crowd!



ABC Weekend Special was a weekly 30 minute anthology special aimed toward younger viewers on Saturday morning. It featured a wide variety of stories that were both live action and animated. It premiered in the late 70's and ran through the entire 80's. In 1981, Willie Tyler and his puppet Lester were the hosts. In 1984, the puppet Cap'n O. G. Readmore took over as host.

CBS Schoolbreak Special was another anthology show aimed toward teenagers and premiered in 1980.

The CBS one was pretty much like the ABC Afterschool Specials.
