12. Some mom’s effectively saved the show from cancellation

At one point in time the show was under threat of going off the air when it was on National Educational Television. A group of mothers in Boston, Massachusetts felt so strongly about keeping the show on the air that they went door to door to raise the money. Bill McCurdy, who was the president of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation, read about the women’s passionate efforts and decided to sponsor the show.
