Premise

This series featured regionally-produced entertainment specials which were intended as pilots for new series.[1]

Montreal: "Mission Moreau Possible" featured comedian and impressionist Jean-Guy Moreau leading a series of comedy and musical segments. Pat Cook produced these episodes.

Edmonton: Separate specials were developed for musicians Gabrielle Bujeaud (Bernard Picard, producer) and Nancy Nash (Don McRae, producer).

Halifax: These were produced by Ralph Waugh and starred local artists. This was the pilot for the 1977 series That Maritime Feelin'.

St. John's: Beth Harrington and David Michael were featured in these Newfoundland programmes, with Kevin O'Connell as producer.

Vancouver: Musicians and siblings Judy Ginn and Jim Walchuk, previously featured in a three-week 1973 CBC miniseries, starred in these programmes which were produced by Mike Watt. This led to the 1977 mid-year replacement series, The Judy and Jim Show.
