Once Upon a Classic is an American television program hosted by Bill Bixby that aired on PBS from 1976 to 1980 as a production of WQED in Pittsburgh.[1]
The episodes consisted of adaptations of such classic literature as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (which won a Peabody Award), Leatherstocking Tales, The Talisman, and The Prince and the Pauper; some of these adaptations were produced by other broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV in the United Kingdom. There were also some original teleplays.[1]
