I never understood why teachers back then sent home notes telling parents to have their kids watch Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue like it was homework?
 
If anything was effective at telling kids about drug abuse, it was the Bravestarr episode "The Price." The kid in that episode actually dies of an overdose.

In a similar such tragic context, there was that Fat Albert episode where that kid was killed in that gang crossfire.

The latter airing must be the short-lived Everyday with Joan Lunden (which I thought was on KCOP since it was produced at future sister station WWOR).
 
For those wondering about House Party on KNBC...it was a daytime talk show produced by sister station WRC in Washington, DC, and was hosted by Steve Doocy (now of Fox & Friends). As a result, whatever NBC had in the 10am PT hour during the 1989-90 TV season, KNBC shifted those network shows to late-night, usually after the replay of 11pm news that aired after Later with Bob Costas/Friday Night Videos.

That's interesting, considering I have mentioned Art Linkletter's show of that same name under "Small Talk" (CBS @ 8:00 pm).
 
Classic Concentration celebrated both its 3rd anniversary and Cinco de Mayo that day.
 
Yes I remember Fox owned affiliates used to call themselves "Fox News" for their 10pm newscasts back in the early 1990's to stand out from the competition. In WFLD's case they added the 32 and Chicago.
