Now the bad news - they only recorded the cartoons, and cut out nearly everything else. :-( I bring you the only snippets left - a few excerpts of the clock that they would show the time on, and in some cases, the chalkboard with the date, weather, and sports scores. Some might wonder why...

The music during the bumper segments is interesting - also notice they fade it up slowly a good 5 seconds before the bumper begins, while t...
