Cartoon Network commercials (March 31, 2001) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-03-31 | Commercials that aired during a Tom & Jerry marathon, which I believe was done in honor of William Hanna, who sadly passed on March 22 of that year. I got this and another tape of Tom & Jerry (and an incomplete Acme Hours block) off of eBay back in February, quite a lucky find! Unfortunately, whoever taped this didn't get the marathon in it's entirety (as it was recorded in SP mode), but there's still of a good chunk of the marathon present!Here's what we know aired on the marathon: 9:00pm- ??? / Pecos Pest / The Bodyguard / Texas Tom / Mouse in Manhattan (edited) / Designs on Jerry10:00pm- Baby Puss / Touche, Pussy Cat! / The Yankee Doodle Mouse (edited) / The Zoot Cat / The Little Orphan (edited) / The Bowling Alley Cat11:00pm- Quiet Please! / The Million Dollar Cat / ??? / ??? / ??? / ???
Cartoon Network commercials (June 1st, 2002) Elliotts VHS Archive 2024-07-28 | It’s some bunny’s birthday… Bugs Bunny’s that is! Was meaning to upload this last month in honor of June Bugs but hey, better late than never (or wait until next June in this case). Here’s a good hour and a half of breaks that aired during the first day of the 2002 edition of June Bugs! or June Bugs A to Z as that year’s edition was called.
Porkys Pastry Pirates (1992 computer-colorized titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2024-07-18 | Haven’t uploaded a set of these in a while! Though you’re probably wondering what this has to do with Jimmy Cagney, well if you pay attention, the bee (voiced by Kent Rogers) is a soundalike of Cagney!And now for the typical jargon I do for these titles videos: Computer colorized titles for the 1942 Looney Tunes short “Porky’s Pastry Pirates", sourced from a Porky marathon that aired on Boomerang back in September 2002.
Turner Classic Movies program break (April 2nd, 1995) Elliotts VHS Archive 2024-07-17 | First of two uploads today in honor of the great Jimmy Cagney’s 125th birthday! First up we got some early TCM (probably the earliest bit of TCM I have in my tape collection), from a triple feature of movies featuring Cagney that was actually a part of a lineup celebrating that month’s Director of the Month Michael Curtiz. The breaks aired inbetween “Captains of the Clouds”, “Jimmy the Gent” and “Angels With Dirty Faces”, with all the Robert Osborne intro and wraps-ups intact (though the beginning is a tiny bit incomplete).
Cartoon Network commercials (June 18th, 2000) Elliotts VHS Archive 2024-06-16 | Happy Father's Day! or Feather’s Day in this case, as we got about an hour’s worth of commercials from Daffy Duck’s Feathers Day Special! (thanks again @ThatWeirdoWhoMakesVideos for the disc copy!) This was a marathon CN aired back in 2000 where they showed nothing but Daffy shorts, a number of good ones too (minus “Tease for Two”). Nothing too big commercial wise here but there’s some cool promos for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and Summer, plus some promos advertising the premiere of JBVO. And of course plenty of Feathers Day bumpers (with VO work from Harry Shearer!)
Cartoon Network commercials (January 6th, 2002) Elliotts VHS Archive 2024-01-07 | First upload of the year comes from the last tape I bought last year! Another batch of commercials that aired during the always great Late Night Black & White, and if you notice, this block featured nothing but Porky Pig shorts! Nothing too big commercial wise but one thing that stands out is a promo for the ToonHeads episode “Baby Boom Toons” (which had premiered a week back)
The Bob Clampett Show- Show #4 segments (mostly complete) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-12-26 | Merry Christmas to you all! Here's the wraparound segments for the 4th episode of The Bob Clampett Show, sourced from a tape lot I got last year! My copy is missing the opening intro but other than that it's all here. I got two other episodes (albeit incomplete) to share segments from so keep an eye out for 'em!
The Popeye Show- Show #28 segments (partially complete) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-11-25 | Perfect time to upload these, on the 21st anniversary of the episode's premiere! Here are the wraparound segments for show #28 of The Popeye Show, sourced from, believe it or not, the original airing of this episode! Really cool that this premiered on my second birthday. Unfortunately, my copy is a tad incomplete, only missing a bit of the first segment and little bit of the third.
Cartoon Network commercials (November 19th, 2001) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-11-24 | Happy Thanksgiving all! We got ourselves a good hour’s worth of commercials that aired during Late Night Black & White, Droopy and Popeye! This is probably one of my favorite tapes in my collection, all the blocks featured a number of Thanksgiving/Native American themed shorts that were rarely seen on the channel. Nowadays you can find some of these shorts on DVD, but back then this was a pretty big deal.
ToonHeads- The Wartime Cartoons (wraparound segments) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-11-12 | Hope ya like ToonHeads as much as I do, cause we got ourselves a real treat here! Here’s the wraparound segments for ToonHeads: The Wartime Cartoons. All this comes from a screener tape of the special that I was lucky enough to snag off of eBay a couple months back, easily one of my favorite tapes in my collection.
Cartoon Network commercials (November 12th, 2001) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-11-11 | First of two uploads today in honor of Veterans Day, starting with some commercials that aired during the premiere of show #2 of The Popeye Show and a Late Night Black & White block with nothing but WWII era Popeye shorts (and then some). This comes from a dubbed tape I picked up a couple months ago, the audio’s a bit quite though I couldn’t find a way to boost it up in the editing software I use to make these videos. Also kept the shorts titles in for this upload (I’ll probably keep on doing that). Not only so you can see the fake irises CN would put into the Popeye shorts that would air on LNB&W, but also cause, hey why not!
Porkys Hare Hunt (1992 computer colorized titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-05-01 | “Porky’s Hare Hunt” was released on this day in 1938! This marks not only the first time Ben Hardaway directed a Porky Pig short, but the first appearance of a character that would later evolve into Bugs Bunny. So hey, not a bad idea to post the computer-colorized titles for this short today. This is sourced from a Bugs & Daffy block (March 3rd 2001 to be exact).
Pied Piper Porky (1992 computer-colorized titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-04-18 | So I hear it's Disney Channel's 40th birthday today. I don't have anything from the channel, but this set of computer colorized Looney Tunes titles from a short that features a mouse will do fine. Computer colorized titles for the 1939 Looney Tunes short "Pied Piper Porky", sourced from a marathon of Porky Pig shorts from Boomerang (sometime in September 2002, dunno exactly when)
Prehistoric Porky (1995 computer-colorized titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-04-16 | Computer-colorized Looney Tunes shorts are good for ya! Nah actually they aren’t, you should be watching the original B/W versions of these instead. Here’s the computer colorized titles for the 1940 Looney Tunes short “Prehistoric Porky”, sourced from a Boomerang block from sometime in September 2002. Thanks to @RetroCCNduy for letting me buy this tape from them (plus a couple others)!
Turner Classic Movies program break (September 30th, 1996) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-04-16 | Happy belated birthday to TCM! Don’t really have anything else from April as far as my TCM tapes go so,d this’ll do just fine. Aired inbetween "If Winter Comes" and "Prisoner of Zenda". Lots of cool promos including a Star Story on Errol Flynn, two From the Vaults shorts (a savings bond PSA with Rowan and Martin and a Jimmy Fund ad featuring Deborah Kerr), and plenty of up next menus, bumpers and movie trailers to go around!
Cartoon Network commercials (April 5th, 1999) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-04-06 | Second half of yesterday's upload, this time we get some commercials that aired during the late night hours of CN. Aired in between Space Ghost Coast to Coast, O Canada, Late Night Black & White, and the Animate Your World vignettes (which aired before a Pink Panther block). One thing to note is the use of the blue up next bumpers instead of the dark blue they would usually, to be honest I'm not all too sure of when those we're introduced but eh, it's pretty cool.
Cartoon Network commercials (April 4th, 1999) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-04-05 | Two uploads in one day? Why not! This was from an eBay pickup from back in August of last year that I never really got around to uploading the breaks for (except for the Cartoon Planet filler I posted back on Christmas), so here it is! These all aired during Toonheads (wraparound segments intact!!), Tom & Jerry, Johnny Bravo, Ed Edd n' Eddy, Cow & Chicken and the Powerpuff Girls! Tons of cool commercials and bumpers to boot.
Turner Classic Movies program break (September 11th, 1997) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-04-04 | Happy 100th to Warner Brothers! To kick off our month long look at commercial breaks from various Warner owned channels, we have a very small TCM program break from the late 90's. You'll see a incomplete promo for the Darkness After Dawn showcase and a trailer and Robert Osborne hosted intro for "Dark Passage"!
Turner Classic Movies program break (March 29th, 1995) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-03-13 | Happy Oscars Day! The Academy Awards are in progress at the time that I'm posting this, so hey, no better time to upload some stuff from the most award-winning season on television! Here's some TCM program breaks from their very first 31 Days of Oscar celebration!! These aired in-between "This Land is Mine" and "A Patch of Blue", featuring a Robert Osborne hosted intro and outro! Besides that, you'll see some special up next bumpers, special info cards that ran before each movie to give info on what the film won/was nominated for an Oscar for, and a quick vignette featuring an interview with Jackie Cooper!
Too Weak to Work (1943, Turner redrawn titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-02-26 | Been a bit since I've done one of these. Here's the Turner redrawn titles for the 1943 Popeye short “Too Weak to Work”, sourced from a Popeye block off of Boomerang in 2001. This comes from a tape lot I got back in October last year, really cool to see some Boomerang from it's early days.
TBS Superstation commercials (May 18, 1990) Elliotts VHS Archive 2023-02-02 | TB-yes! The first upload of the year comes from, funny enough, my first tape find of the year (how about that). These commercials aired during Tom & Jerry's Funhouse and part of Gilligan's Island. Couple cool things in here include a Holiday Inn ad featuring Bugs Bunny and a couple other Looney Tunes characters, bumpers for Tom & Jerry's Funhouse, and plenty of early 90's commercials!
Comedy Central commercials (December 31, 1998) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-12-31 | Happy New Year’s Eve all! Just for the occasion, here’s some Comedy Central from 1998! These aired during the South Park Viewer’s Choice marathon (inbetween "Chickenlover", Mecha-Stresisand" and the first part of "City on the Edge of Forever"). Should note that I'm missing what South Park episode that aired during the 10:30pm slot, so the 11:00pm commercials start at the 8:36 mark.
Cartoon Planet (SGC2C filler, April 4 1999) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-12-26 | Merry Christmas all! Here’s something I thought I’d never come across on tape: Cartoon Planet! But it’s not really an episode, but rather a compilation of songs that played as filler after a Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode. This apparently was something CN did in the late 90’s in case a SGC2C episode ran over the 11 minute mark. This comes from a tape I got back in October, I haven’t shared the commercials from it yet but I’ll get to that soon.
Comedy Central commercials (December 17, 2003) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-12-17 | 19 years ago, the South Park episode "It's Christmas in Canada" aired, and here we have the commercials that aired during the premiere of the episode! This came from a lot I bought a while back on eBay. I have some other Comedy Central stuff that I'm planning to upload soon, so stay tuned.
Turner Classic Movies program break (May 4, 1995) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-30 | And so we come to the end of TCM November, and to close out the month, we got some more program breaks from 1995! These aired between “Bells are Ringing”, “The Student Prince” and “Prodigal”. A couple movie trailers, a incomplete One Reel Wonders showcasing some of the movies Lawrence Weingarten produced at MGM, and a original productions vignette on World War II and Hollywood is what you’ll see here, some pretty neato stuff if you ask me!
Turner Classic Movies program break (October 1 & 2, 2002) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-26 | Second to last video for TCM November, and boy do we have a treat for today. These aired during the network premiere of “The Tramp and the Dictator” and “The Great Dictator” (featuring intro and outros provided by Robert Osborne!). The tape cuts to the next day’s airing of “Confessions of a Nazi Spy” though the only thing I could put in the video is the partial open all night bumper before it so I just left it in anyway, it is a cool bumper.Also, today a couple friends and I have launched a new schedule archive dedicated to, you guessed it, TCM! The website is still a work in progress but if you’d like to join in come check out the site and discord server!TCM Archives: tcmarchives.fandom.com/wiki/Turner_Classic_Movies_Archives_WikiDiscord server: discord.gg/rVahTTc9
Turner Classic Movies program break (July 13, 2000) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-25 | Happy Thanksgiving to ya'll! I don't have anything Thanksgiving related for today's TCM November upload, but I'm sure this'll do. Here's a couple program breaks that aired during a marathon of movies from the Thin Man series! A couple cool things include some movie trailers, a This Week in Hollywood vignette, and a Word of Mouth segment on the movie "Kiss Me Kate".
Turner Classic Movies program break (April 28, 1995) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-22 | As we get close to the end of TCM November, the rest of the uploads for this month are all gonna be program breaks, so be ready for a lot of cool treats! Today, we got some program breaks from a couple weeks after the channel's first birthday. These aired during "Lady L", "Girl Happy", and "Bedevilled" (the latter two have hosted intro/outros featuring Robert Osborne). Notable things include two Original Productions vignettes on Ginger Rogers and Glenn Ford, and a One Reel Wonders showing of a 1955 promotional short on upcoming MGM movies from that year!

TCM Robert Osborne sample reel (2000) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-17 | TCM November is still going! Got something very cool for today's upload, a sample reel of various intro & wrap-ups featuring Robert Osborne. This was from an eBay pickup a couple months ago, I believe the tape was given out to cable distributors to give a sampling of the channel. Intros and Wrap-ups:0:00 Gone with the Wind03:32 Rashomon 05:55 My Man Godfrey 08:15 Grass (A Nation's Battle for Life)
TCM Robert Osborne intro and outro: In the Good Old Summertime Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-15 | A quick video for today’s TCM November upload, here’s a Robert Osborne intro and outro from the August 8th 2001 airing the movie “In the Good Old Summertime”. This actually came from the same tape those August 16th 2001 commercials I recently uploaded came from.
Turner Classic Movies Cartoon Alley segments (Show #8- Popeye) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-12 | For today’s TCM November upload, we got some more Cartoon Alley segments, from the first Popeye themed showcase.What aired during it:Adventures of PopeyeThe Anvil Corus GirlAbsuement Park
Turner Classic Movies program break (August 16, 2001) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-10 | TCM November continues! Here's some breaks from morning and noon airings of "Mildred Pierce", "The Great Caruso", and "One Minute to Zero". A couple cool things pop up here. Such as a small vignette on the star of the month for August 2001, James Garner, and a From the Vaults airing of a small clip from "The Great Caruso" (which was shown in theaters as a Christmas greeting from MGM).
Turner Classic Movies Technical Difficulties Screen (April 24, 1998) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-08 | TCM November continues, and boy do I got a treat for ya! Ever wondered if TCM had a "technical difficulties" graphic made up? Well wonder no more because here's one of 'em! This popped up before a Sunny Side of Life airing of the movie "Phaedra". This is probably my favorite TD screen out there, you get some nice jazz and some movie trivia to keep you entertained (and info on how to subscribe to TCM's Now Playing guide, in case you forgot)
Turner Classic Movies Cartoon Alley segments (Show #15- Tweety Bird) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-05 | For today’s TCM November upload, more Cartoon Alley segments (it is Saturday, after all). This time from the Tweety themed showcase.Here’s what shorts we’re featured:A Tale of Two KittiesBirdy and the BeastA Gruesome Twosome

Turner Classic Movies program break (May 26, 1996) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-11-01 | And so begins our month long look at the yesteryears of Turner Classic Movies, and we kick it off with some 1996 TCM! These aired during a morning marathon of Dr. Kildare and Dr. Gillespie movies. Not only will you see some cool bumpers and theatrical trailers, but also two one-reelers and the short film, “100 Years at the Movies” (which, fun fact, was the first thing to air on the channel). Thanks to @0xCIRRUS for sending me this and a couple other TCM tapes!
Cartoon Network commercials (October 23 & 24, 1999) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-10-31 | Seeing as today is Halloween, it only makes sense that I upload something on theme today, and boy this is quite on it. Here’s just above an hour and a half of commercials that aired during the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You marathon. Ton of cool commercials and of course, plenty of Scooby-Doo Project segments to see!
WNYW-TV (Fox 5 New York) commercials (June 13, 1991) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-10-07 | Found some Fox recently from the very early 90's, something I don't really come across on tape all too much. These breaks aired during a rerun of The Simpsons episode "Old Money". You get some cool 90's commercials and hey I even included an audio promo that pops up during the credits advertising a new episode of America's Most Wanted.
Cartoon Network commercials (September 25, 2002) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-10-01 | Happy birthday to the best place for cartoons, Cartoon Network! Thought I'd pull out a set of commercials from a tape that I got last year off of eBay, just for the occasion (thanks again @TheToonArchivist). These aired during The Bugs & Daffy Show, Cow & Chicken, Dexter's Lab and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Plenty of cool commercials and a fair amount of green powerhouse bumper, all in really great quality too. This was recorded on a SP tape, almost looks like something off of a S-VHS.
Cartoon Network commercials (November 7, 1999) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-09-15 | Last year, I uploaded some commercials that aired during a '99 CCF block. There's a lot more from that tape that I haven't even uploaded yet. Though yesterday, I did a transfer of that tape and after that, captured of a set of commercials right at the end of it. So here it is, these aired during a late-night airing of The Powerpuff Girls and before I Am Weasel. Unfortunately, the tape ran out during the I Am Weasel airing but there's still some cool promos, like something for O Canda and a Weasel/Space Ghost up next menu I don't think I've seen before.
Cartoon Network commercials (September 10, 2000) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-09-10 | First, thanks to @ThatWeirdoWhoMakesVideos for shooting this tape over to me in the mail. Today is kind of an important day in CN history (at least to me). So, on this date back in 2000, Cartoon Network got ABC's library of Looney Tunes shorts, meaning they now had the broadcast rights to practically air all of the Looney Tunes shorts (they had gotten Nickelodeon's library a year prior). Here are commercials that aired on that day, not only do you get to see a good chunk of commercials during that first 3 hour Bugs & Daffy block, but also from Scooby-Doo, a two-hour Acme Hour block, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dudley Do Right and then Big Bag and Small World. Tons of cool CN promos, Groovies (it's the same one two different times but whatever, it's really good), and of course, a lot of informercials.
Turner Classic Movies program break (April 3, 1996) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-09-01 | More TCM for ya! Coming from a recent eBay pick up, this is from April 1996, right when the channel was about to turn 2. These aired inbetween "The Big Noise", "The First Traveling Saleslady", "Dust Be My Destiny", and "Abbott and Costello in Hollywood". Tons of cool promos and vingettes like Star Stories, Word of Mouth and even a couple coming attraction bumpers.
Turner Classic Movies program break (December 17, 2000) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-08-24 | You like TCM? Good, me too. Here's a little TCM program break that popped up at the end of one of my Cartoon Network tapes (whoever recorded this has really good taste in TV). This aired after "Dead Ringer" and before a Silent Sunday Nights showing of "Tess of the Storm Country". Not a whole lot of promos here but you do get to see some Robert Osborne hosted intros and outros, neato stuff if you ask me!
Cartoon Network commercials (December 28, 2001) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-08-16 | Here's a good hour of commercials from my favorite kind of CN to come across on tape, early morning CN! A good friend of mine, @TheToonArchivist actually sent me this in a lot with some other CN and assorted tapes a while back (still need to go through the assorted stuff), props to him for finding this tape here originally. Anyway, these commercials aired during the Acme Hour, Scooby Movies, Bugs & Daffy, Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones, The Scooby Doo Show, and a small bit of 2 Stupid Dogs.
Nick GaS block segments and commercials (May 21, 2000) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-07-25 | What’s this? Me, uploading something from my tape collection that isn't from Cartoon Network? While my collection is mainly made up of stuff from CN, I do have good number of tapes that are from other channels, so here's something from one of them. Here’s segments and commercials that aired during the first GaS block that aired on Nickelodeon. Tons of cool commercials, and of course, GaS segments featuring Dave and Vivian.
Cartoon Network commercials (November 2, 1999) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-07-17 | No, I have not forgotten about uploading commercial breaks from my tapes, though I will still be doing some title videos here an’ there. Remember those CN Oct. 30 1999 commercials I shared a while back? This set of commercials come from the same tape, how about that. These aired during a 9:30pm Tom & Jerry block on Nov 2, 1999. As proven by the date that pops up on the screen (and it also seems whoever recorded this was setting up the timer as well).
Half-Pint Pygmy (1948, Turner print titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-06-27 | Here's the Turner print titles for the 1948 George and Junior short, "Half-Pint Pygmy". Not sourced from a Cartoon Network airing, of course, but rather from an episode of TCM's Cartoon Alley (I recently acquired 3 SP mode tapes worth of the show). I might be uploading the host segments from the show, since a lot of them seem to not be online, so stay tuned for those.
Wotta Nitemare (1939, Turner print titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-06-23 | Turner redraw print titles for the 1939 Popeye short, “Wotta Nitemare”, sourced from an early morning Acme Hour block from August 4, 2001. A bit incomplete, missing the opening headshot (seems a good chunk of the airings on my Popeye tapes are like this).
For Better or Worser (1935, Turner print titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-06-21 | My copy’s missing the opening headshot, but you still get to see the rest. Here are the Turner redraw print titles for the 1935 Popeye short “For Better or Worser”, sourced from a airing of the Popeye block on October 15 2001. It seems CN sped the short up for this airing (or all airings, not sure), so unfortunately, all the characters’ voices are high pitched, as you’ll see here.
The Man on The Flying Trapeze (1934, Turner print titles) Elliotts VHS Archive 2022-06-10 | Here is the Turner redraw print titles for the Popeye short "The Man on the Flying Trapeze", sourced from an Acme Hour block airing in August 2001.
