If you like what you see here and would like to help me continue sharing cool stuff on my channel, please consider making a donation via Venmo @Pea-Hicks. From the Al Lowenheim archive. Virtually nothing from this 70s kid's show is available anywhere, so these animations are a nice find! Al's media archive was liquidated from a storage unit awhile back and ended up at a local San Diego swap meet. I rescued as many interesting-looking film/video items as I could, but the guy selling the stuff wanted more money for it than I was willing to pay for the entire lot. I managed to get in touch with Al and tried to reunite him with his stuff, but he proved to be quite difficult to communicate with and to date we've never made a fruitful connection. So for now I've decided to upload some of his items here for wider appreciation.

Woah. Hey, looks like graph paper. Hey, dig the Martian. No, that's a caterpillar. Boy, he's awfully skinny. Hey, caterpillar, you hungry? Bring on the food cuz I'm in the mood. Cut the grief, get me to a leaf. Let's help him. Woah. Easy. We'll use the numbers to show him where it's at. You set the scene, I'll cop the green. The plant's growing at the point 3 4. Well, caterpillar's got to crawl three points to the right, and then he's got to climb four points up. Okay, caterpillar, you got that? Go to it. One, two, three. Hey, cool it. You went one point too far. Back it up one. Yeah. Now, just climb up four points and you got it. One, two, three, four. Dinomite. Gee, I wonder if he's still hungry. I don't know. Let's bring him back to zero and see if another plant pops up. Woah, a whole gang of them. Hey, cut it out. Yeah, we could have made a graph on that. Woah, look, he's a mob. Hey, come back. Sorry, gang, it's all eaten. That's why I'm retreating. Gee, I think I'll pace this off. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 About 20 ft long. Plus, that's this way. 1 2 3 4 5. So, 4 + 5 = 9. Wow, check out that sidewalk sculpture. No, dummy, that's a penny. I'd sure dig hanging a penny in our apple. We'll have to measure it first to see if it'll fit through the front door. Gotcha, but how do we do that? Well, easy. We're centimeter worms, so we must each be 1 cm long. Now, here's what we'll do. I'll start measuring from the top of the penny, and you hang on to me and measure the rest. Now, there. The penny's slightly less than the two of us, so it's slightly less than 2 cm wide. It'll just fit, but who's going to carry it home? Well, flip you for it. Heads, I win. Tails, you lose. Heads. You lose. Somehow this doesn't make sense to me. Ma. Ma. Zero, the point. Hi, I'm Rita Cheeta, meter reader, fastest meter reader in the world. Aha, a baseball bat. 99 cm, 1 cm short of a meter. There's 100 cm in a meter, you know. A car. Your car is 513 cm long, a bit more than 5 m. I wonder what else I can measure. Manhole, about 6 m deep. Good afternoon and welcome to the Kilo Show, the show that gives you a thousand ways to win a thousand prizes for a thousand laughs. And now your host, Graham Crackers. Ha, thank you for that great introduction, Mighty Mouth. As you know, the rules of our game are very simple. The contestant who guesses which everyday object comes closest to weighing a kilogram wins our prize. You all know that a kilogram is the same as 1,000 g. And now, on with the Kilo Show. We'll display a group of common objects and the contestant who guesses which object weighs closest to 1 kg wins our prize. And what are your names? Option Downs. Cookie Crumbles. Good luck to both of you. And now, here are the objects for today: a paper clip, a telephone, a container of milk, a hippopotamus, and a washing machine. And what's your guess? Uh, the washing machine. Uh, you're all wet, Option. I'll come clean with you. It weighs 80 kg. Your turn, Cookie. Oh, it must be the container of milk. That container of milk, it weighs slightly less than 1 kg. You win. Oh, wow. What do I win? A thousand days vacation in Antarctica. And to make your vacation complete, a 3-year supply of ice cubes. A thousand pardons, ma'am. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Tune in again tomorrow for a thousand laughs on the Kilo Show. I've told those guys a thousand times. Hello, Chuck's Diner. I want four burgers to go. Okay, at 55 cents each, that's $2.20. No, better make that 97 hamburgers. I'll be right over. Hmm, 97 boy, that's a lot. How am I going to eat Oops. Hey, multiply it this way, it's faster. There, it's $53.35. I wonder who could eat 97 hamburgers. Hold the pickles, will you? Yes, sir. Good morning, Mr. Kelp. Your official mission is to put Lulahoppper, a dangerous lure, out of action. Our current location is 3 km north of here. Right, Chief. Let's see. That's 1 km, two to go. That's 2 km, one to go. Ah, that's 3 km. Where is she? Hello, fish face. How about a bite to eat? No, thanks, Lulah. You've reached the end of your line. You can't do that. Sorry, I'm cutting you off. She fell for that hook, line, and sinker. Presenting the number line. Woo!
