So, as a lot of you may know, classic Treehouse TV is a common topic of conversation on this wiki. A lot of their old programming (especially interstitials) are lost to time due to a lack of DVD releases. For the full-length shows, stuff like "The Toy Castle" and "The Big Comfy Couch" are extremely easy to get ahold of, due to having so many DVDs, and being officially uploaded online., and some like "Wumpa's World" and "Crazy Quilt" are a little more difficult, although DVDs do exist, but not of the complete series. There's others too, like "Treetown", "Ants in Your Pants", "Wee 3", "The Bittles", and "PJ Katie's Farm", which are completely lacking DVDs. AIYP and The Bittles have select episodes available on the Treehouse App, but that's it. The interstitials are a lot more difficult to find. The easiest one to get is "Judy & David's Boombox". You can buy those DVDs on Amazon. "Pet Squad", "My Special Book", and "Little Big Kid" are not available in any other form of home media, due to Corus Entertainment being ignorant. "Wanna Play?" is owned by 9 Story Media Group, and "Land O'Hands" is owned by Boat Rocker Media (who bought out Radical Sheep). They lit those shows on their respective websites, but there is no info on how to obtain them. I have emailed both companies, but got no response.

However, three classic interstitials are owned by a company headquartered in Derry, New Hampshire, called Chip Taylor Communications. They own "Funny Farm", "I Can Do It!", and "Grandma, Look What I Found".
Here are the three websites:

I contacted CTC about odering a copy of GLWIF a while back (i'm guessing this applies to the other two), and this is the response I got back:

So, basically, each show in full costs $60 total (and that's probably US dollars). Is anyone willing to pay this much, or should we negotiate a team effort?
