PMC has been basically confirmed to be Kid's Club. Ella's daughter was emailed, asking her about kids club and sending her the videos (PMC and ECUS). She responded saying
"Yes that was my mom do you know of any others?
This is wonderful!"
It seems to me that she does not have any recordings of the show, but at least its identity has been confirmed.
Edit: The show was actually called "The TV 8 Kids Fun Fest. The amount of episodes is unknown
Ah so it was real. Been lurking on this thread for a while. Does Ella's daughter know any additional information that could help in finding the show? Stuff like the channel it airred on (not sure how channels work, but maybe the channel could have an archive recording?) or other helpful information

I agree. I just read the whole thread today and I think that, even if Angela doesn't have complete episodes (as she stated), she's essentially the only known person directly related to the production of these cartoons. Knowing more about them would be wonderful.

The q&a has been posted, here are the major takeaways:
-Tapes of the show existed, including a short one about the Y2K bug, but were stolen and possibly destroyed by a cousin. No backup tapes are known to exist.
-Ella is the narrator and singer of the videos
-There were at least 4 or 5 shorts or full stories about Kate and Jennie Joker.
-WINJ was pretty popular in the community, which could possibly mean recordings of it are still around
-Some production materials on floppy disks may still be around (though I doubt the data would have survived)
-One of Ella's daughters who worked on KFF will be asked questions about the show
We have a lot of information, but I think the search has still just begun. In the absence of surviving official tapes, our only real option would be to see if there might be any more VHS recordings of the show. Asking around Columbus forums or things like that might be the way to go forward.

Let's pray those floppy disks exist somewhere. It would be great to see some stills or images of the show in a decent (or at least, acceptable) quality. Any information would be welcome.

I hope we could get more info that could lead to a possible full rip of the show. But really, any info is good for now.

I know that it’s pretty off topic, but can we please somehow find more of the Nickelodeon mime IDs from 1980-1981?
Only a couple of those IDs were uploaded to YouTube, however, people in the comment section of these videos, claim that there are more of them that have not been seen by the public since they originally aired on TV in 1981.
Hopefully, we will be able to find some more footage of them soon.👍📼

This was such a great search to read through, I only wish I had found it sooner. Someone mentioned it to me in a live stream a few weeks ago but I never got around to checking it out. When I first started the thread I was completely convinced this thing was fake until those leads came forward from the discord server and now I'm really interested in getting more content from it found.
While it probably won't be too much help, I think this would make for a great awareness video with the hopes that some of my viewers are from Ohio and the other areas where it could have been broadcast. We'll probably never know the full story of how the VHS masters ended up getting destroyed but maybe it makes for a better story to unearth it ourselves rather than getting everything from Angela.

While I don't watch your videos much, I'd like to see you make a video on that.
