I have been trying to find out if and where I could find any Kinoscopes of the TV show Uncle Fred and The Junior Hyjinks show from the very early 50’s. My two brothers and I were on that show. It was shown daily on the DuMont network out of Newark, NJ. I have tried the Museum of Television Broadcasting in NYC with no luck. If you have any information I would appreciate it. Thanks

I assume you meant the Museum of Television & Radio in NYC (not Museum of Television Broadcasting). If not, try them.

You might also want to check a book called FOOTAGE that lists sources/archives of video & film footage. News and documentary filmmakers use FOOTAGE to locate (and buy) old or discontinued newsreels, TV shows, and instructional/industrial/govt. films.
