Was 1973 the earliest year the copyright dates appeared on the Mississippi ETV programs?

[MSPublicBroadcasting]

@Lupton2000 I'm not sure - I'll try to find out and update you here



[jeffconn]

Are all these programs produced by Mississippi ETV?

[MSPublicBroadcasting]

Yes, all of those programs were developed by MPB.

The world needs Clyde the Frog.

Please find videos of the show, especially the episode when he falls off the pile of books.

I concur. Please release Clyde Frog!  I would love to show him to my son. :-)

I have three VHS's of The Clyde Frog Show. If I could get someone to transfer them to DVD I would post them. They bring back memories.

and by Sunday, I will have

sought like Icarus, to fly too high-

and far too lonely than I ought

to kiss the sun of east and west

and hold the world at my behest-

To hold the terrible power

to whom only gods are blessed-

and to have watched the discography of Clyde Frog.

MSPB is now offering copies of The Clyde Frog Show and About Safety. Mine are in the mail.

[homercrowley]

@johnnyafairbanksak yes.

A friend of mine wrote to MPB requesting copies of old Clyde Frog episodes. They sent him (for free) some film reels, which I suspect are the original copies of the episodes!!

@MSPublicBroadcasting Thanks. Lately I had been enquiring about Project Survival. I recall that there was no copyright date on that show (not even the teachers manual to that show that I looked at a kid had a date). I had suspected that 1971 would have been the year it was made. I sure loved that show:)
