Network shows that Boston was home

Somebody asked me a question this week if Boston was home for any 
regular network show.

Spenser for Hire of course was one as they had a sound stage in Allston 
but I can think of only one other. A Saturday morning kids show with 
Captain Bob in the late 50's where he featured Ruff and Ready. I 
remember this as it orginated from WHDH in Dorchester on NBC even though 
Ch5 was not an NBC affil. (However they used to carry NBC on Sat 
mornings as WBZ preempted the network for Boomtown)

There were some syndiated shows based in Boston, but I can not think of 
anything else on a network level.
