Virtually nothing from this 70s kid's show is available anywhere, so these animations are a nice find! Al's media archive was liquidated from a storage unit awhile back and ended up at a local San Diego swap meet. I rescued as many interesting-looking film/video items as I could, but the guy selling the stuff wanted more money for it than I was willing to pay for the entire lot. I managed to get in touch with Al and tried to reunite him with his stuff, but he proved to be quite difficult to communicate with and to date we've never made a fruitful connection. So for now I've decided to upload some of his items here for wider appreciation.
