Playdate (Canadian TV series)

The series replaced General Motors Presents. Ed Moser, a story editor from that previous series, became executive producer of Playdate. He reduced the presence of Canadian script writers, featuring nine Canadian-written scripts in the final season of Playdate compared to 19 Canadian works featured in the final season of General Motors Presents. Robert Goulet hosted the earliest episodes of Playdate, replaced by Christopher Plummer from 20 December 1961. In the months following the last Playdate episode, The Red Skelton Show was regularly seen in the time slot. In 1964, 26 episodes of Playdate were sold for broadcast in Australia. ==Episode==
