FCC action

Some time during the show's broadcast, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received complaints from toy companies who argued that it was actually a thirty-minute commercial for the toys; one of them was Topper, a rival to Mattel.[1] The FCC obliged by ordering stations to log part of the airings as advertising time.[1][2]
