I remember seeing clips of Wallace & Ladmo in the "Children's TV" episode of the PBS series "Pioneers of Television".
 
Does Fishel act anymore? I knew they did that Girl Meets World show several years back. Both her and Savage were a fun young couple together. It seems the rest of the cast appears to be steady in voiceover work these days. William Russ, who I personally never cared for, keeps popping up in guest roles on various dramas.

As for the schedule itself, it’s hilarious that KTVK basically ran all the soaps that were 1230-430PM ET 930AM-130PM MST(which would be the same as PDT this of year lol). Only funny because General Hospital was wildly hugely successful in 1981 and folks attributed to its later afternoon time slot. East coast bias much lol

Given that she has two young sons, Adler (almost 3) and Keaton (9 months), I guess it's safe to say she needs some time off acting to raise them.

I've never seen a show tucked in between the "Tonight Show" and "Tomorrow" before, much less "Benny Hill" (Benny almost always appeared on indie stations). Who else did this, and did any stations stick shows between "Tonigh" and Letterman when that show premiered in 1982?

I recall in the late 90’s and early 00’s KOB in Albuquerque squeezed in Access Hollywood between Tonight and Late Night
