The little, short, blue kitty. Mucho thanks, Ms. Cindy. The wee, blue feline was named Benny the Ball and was voiced by Maurice Gosfield . It aired sometime in the early '80s. Alright, so glory may be overstating the case.
Mediocrity is perhaps a more appropriate term.
Darkroom , which ran on ABC from November of '81 to January of '82, was a tepid attempt at recreating the success of Night Gallery . While it featured such talents as Billy Crystal , Brian Dennehy and the young Helen Hunt in screen adaptations of stories by genre legends like Robert Bloch , it somehow managed to deliver very few chills.
