TV & VIDEO - April 18, 1988

A revival of Mighty Mouse cartoons, a junior high school drama and three shows on the Constitution’s anniversary were among 23 programs recently honored during the Action for Children’s Television annual achievement awards. Among the advocacy group’s radio and TV winners: “Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures” by animator Ralph Bakshi, and CBS’ “The Day They Came to Arrest the Book.” But founder Peggy Charren criticized commercial broadcasters for their continued tie-ins to promotional interests and ratings, saying that from 1984-87 about 70 Saturday morning children’s shows featured characters based on toys.
