Here's a paid annoucement from the Committee for Energy Awareness, touting the importance of American sources of energy. Features a shot of the Braidwood Nuclear Plant (Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station).

The Lost Snipets - "Children's Dentist" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1539

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. Not sure when this segment was created but I went with the 1977 classic "patchwork" Snipets logo. Enjoy.

(again, not lost per se, since this one surfaced on YouTube awhile back, but it was recorded from a Miami station and didn't have the proper end bumper. Also, improved quality here)

I think the announcer may be 32's...

WCIU Channel 26 - The Warren Freiberg Show (Part 3, 1981)

Views: 2572

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...
