Drop-In
Plot
Given a lengthy trial run on the CBC potpourri series Dress Rehearsal, the children's program Drop-In joined the network's regular weekly manifest in the fall of 1970. Aimed at the ten- to 14-year-old demographic, the series was hosted by Rex Hagon and Susan Conway, who'd previously costarred on the long-running Canadian adventure show The Forest Rangers. The program served up a bewitching blend of puppet shows, skits, musical numbers, interviews, and "theme" shows. During 1972 and 1973, the series expanded its vistas to include segments filmed on location in various far-flung areas of Canada, and also in Europe. Drop-In was last seen in the summer of 1974. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviCast

drop
IN BRIEF: To fall down.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
— John Muir (1838-1914), American naturalist.
Tutor's tip: Will the "drupe" (fleshy fruit having a single hard stone that encloses a seed) "drop" (the act of falling; descent) from the tree, or just make the limb "droop" (to bend downward; to hang) with weight?
