The Most Important Person

The Most Important Person was an animation/live action series of over 60 short subjects of important topics in the lives of children. They were produced in 1972 by Sutherland Learning Associates. From 1972 to 1975, these shorts were seen as part of CBS's Captain Kangaroo program. From 1975 to 1981, these shorts were later syndicated to local television stations, mostly independent stations that ran large amounts of children's programming. They also ran in the late 70's on PBS stations running in-school programming. Some pre-1994 syndicated prints of The Underdog Show have also included Most Important Person shorts.
