It still seems strange to me how the show ran for 7-8 years and only a small part of an episode has surfaced.
I feel like it’s because the show aired kinda sporadically and most people probably weren’t fans of the show enough to tape it. Another factor might be that people who have copies of it aren’t aware of the search or forget they even have copies of it. Possibly even due to the fact that some people don’t have capture devices but have a bit of footage. Logan was able to find a way to get the footage out there despite not having a capture device. The only resource I guess is looking for people that have tapes of the shows that came before and after it. We’ll have to widen the search and spread awareness I guess.
Btw did Richard Rodwell say if he still had any of the tracks he composed for the show? I know Dennis Scott (music composer of The Noddy Shop) still has every track he composed for the show so it might be a possibility...

It's possible. But remember that Michael Decsi (the producer of the show) doesn't have a copy of the show.
I took a look at the video. It doesn't all come flowing back immediately, but the clock in particular sticks out. I'm damned sure that thing always freaked me out however many times I happened to see the show.
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

It sort of vaguely resembles how I remembered it as a kid. I think I actually like it better now than I did as a kid. In my Treehouse interstitial ranking, it's above "Judy & David's Boombox" and below "Pet Squad".
Well well well... This is definitely an interesting find. However, it's not nearly as bizarre as this discussion was leading me to think. Still, I can see why so many people have fond memories of it.
We should try looking for ways to find the rest of the show. canadianchildhood, it’s definitely a good idea to ask Logan if you can borrow the tape as not only does it have MSB but several other rare shows as well.

I asked him, but he hasn't replied back to me yet.
Hopefully he replies. I think it will be pretty cool once we find the exact episode from the one picture we have. It’ll probably feel really surreal. I can’t wait till all the episodes are finally found. Unfortunately I haven’t had any leads yet.
On a side note the other puppet characters might have had alliterative names like Clarence. If anyone gets into contact with Michael Decsi or the YTV archives, you should ask if they still have the puppets in storage or anywhere else. It would be cool if they’re still around

Btw in the meantime we should add the episode list to the wiki page so we can keep track of what’s been found. Same goes for all the other interstitial shows.

He replied and said he couldn't mail it. It might get lost in the mail and then the HQ version of the show will be lost. He lives in a different province than I do.

If you can't bring the mountain to Muhammad then bring Muhammad to the mountain . Maybe one of us could send him a capture card?
