The Lost Snipets - "Homework Now!" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)
Views: 1593
I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, circa 1975. I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over in 1977. Enjoy.
This one features an Art-Clokey-esque stop-film animation o...

Here's a record offer for "18 Golden Hits of 1976" with songs performed by "The Sound Effects" (or "The original Sound Effects" as the announcer helpfully mentions). It's another album of knock-offs (although at least from this ad, not quite as bad as the infamous "Muskrat Love" collection)

WCIU Channel 26 - The Warren Freiberg Show (Part 3, 1981)
Views: 2571
Here's Part 3 of an episode of The Warren Freiberg Show on WCIU Channel 26. In case you weren't familiar with him, Warren Freiberg had some rather "extreme" and "fringe" opinions. He had a radio show, and you may also remember him turning up in little vignettes on Steve Dahl's "It's Too Early" show from 1983.
This part features Warren and Libby talking with video-recording pioneer (and comic book store pioneer) Larry Charet (yes, the legendary man who accidently recorded the Th...
