synopsis
Throughout its two-year lifespan, the Canadian documentary series Gallery never settled on a single permanent time slot: Indeed, it wandered all over the CBC schedule, requiring fans to keep both eyes on the local TV listings at all times. Essentially lightweight in nature, the series specialized in segments focusing on sports teams, offbeat business enterprises, eccentric inventions, specialty schools, and regional music festivals. One program was based on Whatever Became Of..., Richard Lamparski's popular book series about celebrities of days gone by. Gallery was telecast from May 19 to August 11, 1973, then again from January 3 to April 4, 1975, remaining in rerun circulation until 1979.
