WTVC Ch. 9 Chattanooga (ABC)

11 AM Curiosity Shop (Shirley Jones hosts a show about music and dance:
the story of the evolution of dance, the UCLA Marching Band, "Three
Is A Magic Number" is an animated sequence that simplifies multiplication.)

This was the pilot episode of the series that was produced by Chuck Jones. "Three Is A Magic Number" was later used as part of the "Multiplication Rock" / "School House Rock" series that began the following year. It could be said that the well-known "School House Rock" is a spinoff of the obscure "Curiosity Shop".
