Rabbit Ears Question #3: Have you heard of Rabbit Ears before?

Alright everyone! So this week’s question is: Have you heard of Rabbit Ears before?

Now I noticed that Rabbit Ears Productions is very unknown with the main public, what with this series being made way back in the 1980s and not being exposed to various popular TV networks at the time.  The only thing that makes this series well known enough are the amount of celebrities that narrated the stories such as:

Robin Williams, Denzel Washington, Whoopi Goldberg, Meryl Streep, Danny Glover and Geena Davis.

Usually, anyone who had grown up with this series would know about this series’ existence, such as myself, since I have been watching Rabbit Ears ever since I was little.  So, the question here is:

Have you heard of Rabbit Ears Productions before and when did you discover the series?
