Haven't watched most of the episodes, but I'm curious on the episodes where Ken the Keyboard shows up in. They sound they would be perfect stupid episodes to watch for how cheesy they are.

Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

He only shows up in Back To Bach as far as I know, strange that they had Colin use almost the same voice as Thaddius for this guy.

Well it'd certainly be interesting to see, especially since he was actually created by someone who won the contest of designing a character for the show.

Update! I have a friend in germany who recently got a vhs of some episodes, yippie!!
But on a stranger note, i've found what I believe is concept art, with zero information about it anywhere! I'm not sure how to embed images on these but I do have this reddit post I have of them! www.reddit.com/r/SillyMysteries/comments/10chpzb/where_are_these_images_from/

sigh Knew it was something like that. Ain't gonna be on HBO Max, especially considering what's going on with it now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Oscar's Orchestra was ever exported to the US, HBO or otherwise, so I kinda doubt it would have made it to HBO Max even if that were to stay up.

Rereading this thread and there is evidence that it aired here in the states, but only on east coast kids WB channels. I've never found any video proof of it but there's tv guides of it airing back in '94-'97

So the show was syndicated? Interesting. That would mean that RetroCrunch might've lived in the east coast back in the 90s & caught it back then.

That lawsuit is essentially gonna make a lot of stuff even more likely to be lost. Who the heck is suing the crap out of them? Wownow Entertainment?

OUCH. Hopefully the court knows that the Internet Archive is for preservation sake. Those book publishers are likely just greedy.

Not a proper update on my search for anything about this show, but I did find one of the voice actor's autobiographies which mentions it!
The book is Double Take. Act two!
Here's the specific entry in it!!
