At least I did find a mention of the show, which aired on WSB Ch 2:

Retro: Atlanta Saturday, October 24, 1981

Retro: Atlanta Saturday, October 24, 1981
From TV Guide, Atlanta Edition:
WSB Ch. 2 (ABC)

11:30 am - Timeout (local kids' show, topic is how to stage fight scenes)

Anybody have anything else on Timeout, such as the actress/host of the show?

Monica Pearson was asked about the Timeout television show and she did remember it... but apparently no video exists of the show.

Really? It was a very popular teen show in Metro Atlanta in the early 1980s.


Total early GenX and the last of the Baby Boomers.

Any details you can remember of the Time Out ahow would help, names of hosts and regulars on the show, specific themes, et cetera.

Perhaps by Googling the people who appered on and worked in the show an where they are now, some may have memorabilia.

I did find this, the show was originally called "Super 2" (WSB was Channel 2 in Atlanta).

"...An n award-winning show for children on WSB-TV/2. Atlanta... Changed from "Super 2'' to "Time Out for Kids" with an eye toward syndication."

The Dance and Skate-Dance Group from Atlanta name the "Cosmic Gang Dancers" they were also known as "Smoke" and "TNT" a Skate-Dance Team that Toured the United States were featured on several WSB TimeOut TV show segments at Piedmont Park , at Greenbriar Skating Rink then named "JellyBean" and also featured on WSB TV dance show called the "Dance Show" in the late 80s.
The WSB TV Show named The Dance Show have approx 20 segments on You Tube.
The Cosmic Gang was featured on segment 6 "Break-Skating on Skates with Casual Cal the MC Creator of the UniverSoul Circus
The Movie "ATL" was based on the Jellybean Skating Rink.
Truth be told this is where "Skateman" and the original "Harry The Hawk" originated.
I do have several segments of the "Cosmic Gang " performances.
I am also hoping that some one can obtain some other footage on TimeOut and post it on you tube also.
