McQueen (TV series)

The pilot episode, "There's a Car Upside-Down on My Lawn", concerned the disposition of an abandoned vehicle.

The episode won two Canadian Film Awards in 1969, for Best Director (Francis Chapman) and Best Actress in a Non-Feature (Josephine Barrington).

Jenny (Margot Kidder) was featured in two episodes as an employee of McQueen's newspaper.

[1] Guest actors during the series included Ruth Springford, Austin Willis and Louis Zorich.

The show was not well-received; by January, the newly installed head of CBC Entertainment was quoted in the Toronto Star as saying: "Everybody knows it's a failure now, but unfortunately we're stuck with it for the rest of the season."
