Here is a small excerpt from the Hot Fudge Show as aired on WLS Channel 7. This is all I found - wish there was more, but at least you get to hear a little of the theme song.

This show aired on WFLD Channel 32, WLS Channel 7, and at one point WSNS Channel 44.

Here's a return bumper for when the CBS Network aired The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show on Saturday mornings. These have a video arcade theme to them.
