In the beginning, Captain 20 didn't host a show so much as contest drop-ins (from time-to-time, on weekday mornings and afternoons).

This also started the "Gerbil Races." 
-

-
Kids sent in their name, address and phone number.  Captain 20 would phone them; they would pick one of three gerbils (bearing the names of kid shows) and if their gerbil won, the kid won a brand new bike.

-
The races were such a hit that WDCA got its' first cover on Sunday's
Post TV magazine. Six years would pass before that happened again.
