The Alvin Show is an American animated television series. It was the first animated show to feature the singing characters Alvin and the Chipmunks; it lasted for one season in prime time (October 4, 1961 – September 12, 1962) on CBS (Wednesdays, 7:30-8pm Eastern), and was initially telecast in black and white (color prints of the episodes were not seen until the series entered syndication in the fall of 1965).
The Alvin Show was split into 4 different segments; a 7 minute Chipmunks cartoon, 1 music segment based around a song sung by the Chipmunks, a 7 minute cartoon with Clyde Crashcup, a crazy inventor, and 1 more music segment (different from the first one).
The Alvin Show was syndicated on many stations, with the last appearance of the show on TV being on 1995, when it was shown on Nickelodeon. Since then, only 3 episodes have been made available for purchase, and 2 VHS tapes with songs from the song in a sing-along format, which are now out of print. The segments have been swapped around many times in syndication.
In 2008-ish, segments from The Alvin Show were uploaded to YouTube, but were sadly taken down by Bagdasarian Productions, the owners of the show. In 2012, a user named "Rugratskid" began re-uploading segments to YouTube, which were later removed by Bagdasarian Productions. Rugratskid then began collecting any segments he could fine. As of now, he has all 26 of the 7 minute Chipmunks cartoons, around 10 of the Clyde Crashcup segments, and around 85% of the music segments. In 2015, Rugratskid found listings on Ebay for 16mm copies of Alvin Show segments. He sent the links to Badgasarian Productions Facebook page, who proceeded to buy all of them. He is still looking for any segments in better quality, or any that are still lost. Segments that are found and lost are listed below. Bold titles are found, and any that aren't bold are still not found.
