Overview

Cappelli & Company is an American children's television series created by, and starring, children's songwriter/composer Frank Cappelli. The series was in production for four and a half seasons, from 1989 to 1992, originating from Pittsburgh ABC affiliate WTAE-TV. Upon the program's instant success both critically and ratings-wise in Pittsburgh, Cappelli & Company was distributed by WTAE's parent owner Hearst Television to air on all its sister stations across the country. Other Hearst-owned stations which aired the show well into the 1990s included WCVB in Boston, WDTN in Dayton, KMBC in Kansas City, WISN in Milwaukee, WBAL in Baltimore, and KCRA in Sacramento.

Cappelli & Company featured musical segments, montages, in studio sing-alongs with an audience of kids, and a variety of human interest pieces. Frank would usually play a role in most musical segments, which were taped in locations away from the show's main set. These segments featured original songs by Cappelli, ranging from the lighthearted "Brusha-Brusha Brush Your Teeth" to the more sentimental "Lindsay's Bakery". Various children would appear in necessary roles to help illustrate the actions/stories of each song. Depending on the segment, an influx of other adult actors would appear. The main studio segments would have Frank leading sing-alongs with the young audience, while playing his acoustic guitar. Guests of versatile talents would also join Frank and the kids in studio. Each episode would feature one human interest segment, such as a look inside a candy manufacturing company to see how its products are made.
