For many years, it's been a dream of mine to find a piece of media that was genuinely lost, recover it, and make it available for public viewing. Now I can finally reveal a secret I've been keeping for the better part of the year... I've done precisely that.

Hocus Focus is one of Nickelodeon's earliest shows, premiering on New Year's Eve 1979 and only airing for a single season. None of the episodes survive in the Nick archives, and most of the series is believed to be lost. I'm honored to have played a key role in helping to preserve this once-lost piece of Nickelodeon history.

The journey from acquiring this tape to digitizing and preserving it was a long and treacherous one, but that's another story for another time. For now... enjoy this insanely rare episode!

Do you ever take requests for full recordings from VHS tapes on Google Drive? If so, here's one that I recommend that you could upload complete versions of. Mama Peanut/Bye Bye Bubbles (yes, a PB&J Otter episode that I'd love to see). If so, I'd appreciate it. If not, it's okay with me. But also, please let me know. Thanks!! :)

If you still have Playhouse Disney's mall tour memory from September 21, 2001, I hope to see PB&J Otter's Noodle Dance in that show, although we don't know how PB&J made up the Noodle Dance.

Just discovered your Size Small Island video. Glad to see someone with ANOTHER episode. Please put up more segments if you can, or maybe a trade or something is in order.

I am so awesome at being with my own dad and spending time with him it’s amazing As I said I don’t hate my own mother I just don’t wanna see her being so overprotective of me and being overwhelmed on things we do sometimes

You're no longer a Nick historian... you're a Nick archeologist.

You need to make your Ink and Paint Club episodes public on the Internet Archive. Rather than gatekeeping them. There are fans who really want to see those. It isn't a show that will be put on Disney+.
