Or how about Pittsburgh's KDKA airing a talk show where the topic was VD just after Captain Kangaroo? That was in the 1968 Pittsburgh listings I had posted over the weekend.

4:35 Special Squad

Unless I'm mistaken, the "Special Squad" mentioned refers to an Australian cop show that aired on Australia's Ten Network fron 1983-1985. If I recall, the show was an Aussie version of the British action drama The Professionals, was set in Melbourne and starred John Diedrich, Alan Cassell, and Anthony Hawkins. And one other thing, it was produced by Crawford Productions, a company whose biggest claim to fame is having produced the first truly great Aussie TV show, Homicide (no relation to the 1993-1999 NBC crime drama that was similarly titled Homicide: Life on the Street which featured, among its ensemble cast, Andre Braugher, Yaphet Kotto and Richard Belzer to name a few).

This was, in fact, a crime drama set in San Francisco about a thief who was later recruited as an undercover cop, a la "It Takes a Thief":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088508/

It doesn;t help that this short-lived series debuted a year before the well-known Nickelodeon show.

Call it a case of very bad timing.
 
3:00 Do It for Yourself (given the time, CKWS could have taken this off the CBC Atlantic Canada feed)

I met the "Star" of the show, Mary Bellows, at a promo event for her book. She was a very lovely lady, too bad I was a star struck stammering fool when it was time to get an autograph, I was 20 years old back then and unfortunately I haven't changed that much over the years.
