Following NBC's announcement that it would drop the anthology series, CBS picked up the program and began airing it on Saturdays at 8:00 pm Eastern Time, in September 1981. Despite a more elaborate credit sequence and another title change, to simply "Walt Disney", the series' format remained unchanged. During the 1981–1982 season, the series had a full season's worth of material again, but little of it was new. Among the little that actually was new were a handful of pilots based on "Pollyanna", "Escape to Witch Mountain", and "The Apple Dumpling Gang", but only the last of the three pilots was sold and became the half-hour sitcom "Gun Shy" the following season, one of the studio's first entries in that genre but only lasted six episodes.
