Finding episodes of 60's cartoons like The Smokey Bear Show is difficult. Fortunately, there are folks on YouTube who have located some to add to the video library.
One example is this summer rerun, and we know it's a summer rerun because among the commercials is a promo for The Odd Couple, which was one of the keys of ABC's primetime lineup in September 1970. Sponsors include Hostess, Hasbro, Zestabs (with Tom Morrison redubbing an old Mighty Mouse cartoon), and General Mills. Couldn't make out the name of that hand puppet Andy Devine (ex-Andy's Gang, Wild Bill Hickok) was shilling.
As you can see, the closing credits, and, presumably, the final commercial block, were edited out.
No rating. Just a public service.
