There are several 16-millimeter films Richard Lyons purchased on eBay entitled “Kid’s Stuff.” They are from the 1960s and may have been shown on television stations around the U. S. during weekday afternoon kids programming. Richard told me once he remembers seeing one of these films or something similar, possibly on KTVU channel 2 in the late 1960s. I personally watched KTVU as a child, while growing up in Berkeley, California. I guess I was more interested in “The Three Stooges” and don’t remember anything like this film. A few years ago I acquired a projector and learned how to capture picture and sound. Richard and I were never sure if these films should be made available. I think now is the time to show the film. If I can get the other “Kid’s Stuff” films presentable and in the right file format they will appear on this post. An explanation of how I captured this and other 16-millimeter films is here. Be sure to check my posts “LaChoy Soy Sauce,” “Golden Grain Macaroni and Cheddar,” “STIR-N-SERV 1 Pan Lasagna,” “Salvation Army Kentucky Fried Chicken PSA,” “Common Sense Self Defense,” “Why Am I So Dumb,” and “TV Guide Censors,” These are all 16-millimeter films Richard purchased online and decided they could be shown. You can also browse the newly added category “16 Millimeter Films.” I will likely be adding more films to this, soon. Also, check Richard Lyons’ YouTube channel “baysadaye” for more 16-millimeter films I helped him post. They are “JAMBO – opening and closing theme,” “1971 ABC Television Promo – Make Room For Grandaddy,” “It’s Nice To Share – United Church Of Christ – Episcopal,” “Classic Ideal Game Commercial – Up ‘N’ Over,” “Discovery ’71 – ABC Sunday Morning Kids Show – 1971,” and “Discovery ’68 – ABC Sunday Morning Kids Show – 1968.”

Richards YouTube has some nice videos.
Wow. I haven’t even watched this or anything on Richard’s YouTube channel yet (which I had no idea about), but I can see I’m going to have to carve out a big block of time in the near future for all of that.
To go back to your comment a few posts ago, and to reaffirm the fact for you – yes, there are people out here you make very happy indeed with your work here. Thank you so much for everything.
This isn’t really related to these videos so much, but have you ever seen any of the sort of infomercial/educational videos from AT&T and the old Bell System? I really love those too. Here’s a large collection of them, if you or anyone else has any interest. The links I’ve put here go directly to the 60s and 70s stuff, which are the best ones. The top of the main page has a lot of more recent things, which don’t interest me near as much as these, which are as great from an aesthetic point of view as they are informative :

Speaking of AT & T, that reminds me of this excellent website called Phone Trips. There you can hear very high quality recordings of telephone sounds from the 1960s, 1970s and more.
I am pretty sure that those Kid Stuff segments ran on Portland OR TV in the very early 70s. I at least remember the theme song and the cartoon drawing seen at the end. It seems like one of our local TV stations, I think KATU (who were locally owned by FIsher Communications for many decades – but recently sold out to the giant Sinclair Group recently) used to run short segments, perhaps between shows, for time filler.
I have at least two more “Kid’s Stuff” films pretty much ready to show, along with a lot of commercials on 16-millimeter film like “Golden Grain Macaroni and Cheddar” which I recall you commented on, previously. In addition, There’s VHS and three-quarter inch tape from studios which belonged to Richard. He didn’t want to post much of this material. I’ll probably start to post more of these items in the coming months.
