Help Preserve Burr Tillstrom's "Kukla and Ollie"

Donation protected
In 1961, Burr Tillstrom moved his beloved television puppet show back to NBC after being off the air for four years. It was only 5 minutes long, but he took lemons and made lemonade!

Recently, we discovered that almost 200 of these shows exist, and we hope fans can chip in to transfer all of them, including other unknown films from the archive, like:

Mikado-Garroway
Special Patch Kinescope
Crusade of Mercy
Bide-A-Wee - Ollie Loves Emily
Berlin Wall
Sears a/c San Juan
CARE Food Crusade

I've worked as a volunteer producer of DVDs of this classic show for The Burr Tillstrom Copyright Trust since 2010. We have been able to upload over 700 shows on YouTube so far:


$30 can cover the cost of transferring one film. Can you help? Let's preserve these wonderful episodes before they are lost forever!
