Some shorts included are Oscar winners "Crunch Bird" and "The Fly".

Availability

The show has not been known to re-air after its first showing on TV. eBay listings of stills, storyboards, and other pre-production artwork are still being circulated. For a long time, the only footage of the series available online was its intro.

Around mid 2016, the first episode was uploaded Vimeo, but has since disappeared, though reuploads exist.

On October 4, 2021, Youtube user BetaGems Lost Media uploaded the second episode.

In addition to episode 2, The Paley Center for Media has another unknown episode in their collection. It is unknown if they will ever publicly show the episodes.
