Actually, I think it was a women's program; there were
a lot of them at 1 PM on CBS and NBC stations at the time,
and I don't think (the holidays excepted) many kids would
have been home at that time to watch cartoons (even though
I know that kids in many Midwestern markets--notably Chicago--
went home for lunch for years and had cartoons at 12 N (CT)).
