Cap'n O.G. Readmore (created by Puppet Studio) was the fictional-character host of the ABC Weekend Specials on U.S. television during the 1980s. He was an anthropomorphic cat puppet, dressed in a nautical outfit, that encouraged children to read for pleasure. He hosted the show from 1984 through 1989, performing with guest stars including Vincent Price, Harry Blackstone Jr., Pat Morita, Joan Lunden and others. Also, he appeared in animated form in a few Weekend Specials, including Cap'n O. G. Readmore Meets Chicken Little and Cap'n O. G. Readmore Meets Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; in these features, he was the president of an all-feline book club who often found himself physically pulled into the story he's reading.
The voice of the character was provided by the American voice actor Frank Welker in the original PSAs and while hosting the ABC Weekend Special, but was voiced by Neil Ross in the animated special Cap'n O.G. Readmore Meets Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
