The Lost Snipets - "Homework Now!" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1588

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 one of only a few existing Garfield Goose and Friends segments, this one featuring a visit from Mama Goose as well as Hobby Corner with Amy Simon and her cornhusk dolls. All the cartoon and non-studio segments have been removed. (I assume this wasn't from an off-air recording)

Here's Santa Claus, shown here holding a book with children gathered around him, promoting a 976 phone number in which Mrs. Claus would speak with children on the phone while he's out delivering toys. Mrs. Claus is heard by voiceover near the end, going on about how busy Santa is.

Disclaimer shown at end: "Call Rates To Downtown Chicago Apply - By Phone Programs, Illinois." Another voiceover (by ??) advises children to get their parents' permission before calling.

Views: 5085

Here's the ending to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on WTTW Channel 11. This was Episode 1315 which was originally aired in 1973. (first voiceover during the end credits by Marty Robinson)

I love the ending slide with the trolley and episode number - the music that plays during it just takes me back. I probably hadn't heard it in at least 25 years. :-)

Also includes at the end:

WTTW Promo - Luciano Pavarotti: King of the High C's (ending voice...
