Colonel Bleep '69 - Newsletter

For the First Time in Forever, Colonel Bleep gets a Voice Cast!

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:16:00 +0000

When the original Colonel Bleep series was in development, the co-creator Jack Schleh, did not have enough to afford a voice cast, so the only other option was to hire a newscaster, Noah Tyler to serve as a narrator for the show and even voice all the characters from time to time.

Considering there have been no adaptations to the show, no other voice actors has been willing to give Bleep and the other characters voices of their own...until now. Today, it is with great pleasure to announce the leading cast of Colonel Bleep '69 as they had all worked very hard to achieve these roles.

Amber Tscherning is Squeak

Although Squeak is shaped in the likeness of a little boy, Noah Tyler could not seem to achieve a childish voice for the marionette so it sounded more like a grown man using the higest pitch possible. So, the plan for the modern Squeak's was to sound more childlike but with plenty of energy. It's not uncommon for women to voice boys in their child years as much as actual boys. Having used a spunky, sassy, Southern voice to fit Squeak's character and tone, we think Amber Tscherning and her is the best match for our plucky puppet pal.

About the Actress

Amber Tscherning has been known for voicing multiple characters in not just animated media, but also in video games and audio dramas for characters that may be sweet, sassy, heroic, villainous, childish, motherly, robotic or natural.

If this sounds familiar, some other characters Tscherning has voiced are Mania the Marauder (from Vanguard of Avias), Whisper and Ella Trixity (Project Cesnock), Kindra, Young Samuel, and Vulture (from the English dub of the anime Stand Firm: A Light in the Shadows), Princess Charm (from The Heroes of Mosai), Dark and Nova (from Dimensional Life), Keko and Shi (from Critter Chateau), Fiana Enateth (from Conquest of Eldinar), and Zebulon "Zeb" Cyrune (from CHI Project).

Tim Dischert is Scratch

In the 50s series, Scratch's voice was a little more complicated, whether it sounded like a deep goofy voice or very similar to Noah Tyler's normal voice. In a way to improve the caveman's character, Scratch's voice is supposed to sound gruff, but in a tone that can sound courageous, shy, and very sweet. Through careful research and testing, we believe Tim Dischert has the best voice for the gentle giant.

About the Actor

Having done voice acting for over five years, Tim Dischert is willing to do voiceovers for fictional characters, commercials, promotions, and industrial sectors. If anyone is needing a voice that will give you all the smiles, tears, laugher, and other emotions, Dischert may be the guy you're looking for!

Dylan Nicholson is Dr. Destructo

While the original Destruco had a more goofy, mischievous voice, our version's voice intends to be more dangerous and terrifying. In way it should feel like a mix between the voices of Death the Wolf (from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), Dr. Harley Sawyer (from Poppy Playtime), Scar (from The Lion King), and Aaravos (from The Dragon Prince). Out of all the auditionees who applied for this role, our best choice for the bloodthirsty criminal mastermind, Dylan Nicholson was our strongest choice.

About the Actor

Besides voice acting for animated works, video games, and audio dramas, Dylan Nicholson also has a talent for acting in live action film, theatre, and video editing. Nicholson willing to give it the best he can in acting in the means of entertaining and informing the audience as well as help polish a video with strong visuals, sound effects and music that connect to strengthen the film's final cut.

Joel "Leo J" Basham is Colonel Bleep

Now who says we can't save the best for last? While tirelessly fleshing out Colonel Bleep's character, the way he's written is a bit of stand-out from his classic predecessor. While the original Bleep's voice sounded rather simply demanding and confident, our version should have a voice that still sounds dutiful and heroic, but also more humanistic such as including moody and warm tones. There were many auditionees who worked hard to pursue the role, but after tirelessly determining the best choice, it is with pleasure to choose Leo J as the most worthy voice actor of them all!

About the Actor

Since he took the job back in 2019, Leo J has worked hard in voicing for animation, commericials, games, and audiobooks. No matter the conditions, Leo J will do whatever he can to make the working environment fun and professional and will do his best to accomplish any task as a voice actor or voiceover.

Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth will be changed to Colonel Bleep '69

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 18:18:00 +0000

Since the spring of 2025 I had grown more disastisfied with the remake's worldbuilding, not that it is inherently bad, but because it has grown more outdated and less interesting for the story. Since then, I have made the decision to change the remake's time from 1957 to 1969, the year when our first astronauts explore the Moon.

At this time, Futurians witness the Apollo 11 moon landing and start to believe that humans are more likely ready to experience alien life arriving on Earth. However, this isn't the first time humans and futurians crossed paths, as some space rangers from the Futura High Command tried to persuade humans to stop their nuclear warfare in 1945 but were unsuccessful to do so. Here in 1969, the space race has gone through many significant effects such as more space probes exploring the solar system and more lifeforms (both humans and animals) discovering the cosmos. Not only that, but Colonel Bleep also believes that now is the right time to build a command station on Earth and hopefully find the best strategy to keep survelliance with humanity.

Speaking of Colonel Bleep, I have also decided to redesign Bleep and the rest of the main cast once again where they reflect more on 1960s culture, but still have their iconic appeal (such as colors and personalities) as before.

Colonel Bleep

Colonel Bleep still keeps the formal name Lucius Morningstar. His age (45 years), origin story, powers, and personality will remain the same but now he wears a more advanced uniform making look more like a superhero as well as personalized gear that keeps his futomic energy (his primal enhancement) stable.

His codename also has a little more lore. In the 1957 cartoons, Bleep's name was inspired by the "bleeping" radio signals coming from Sputnik 1. In the 2020s remake, Bleep's name comes from the unethical lab operation Project Streamline, where the first genetically enhanced futurians were formally labeled as Bionic Lifeform Enhanced Energized Primal Specimen (or B.L.E.E.P.S.). After our main hero learns more about his unpleasant past, he at least knows this is reason why he was given these powers, but he can still choose to control them wisely hence why Bleep has kept that codename ever since.

Dr. Destructo

Inititially Dr. Destructo was going to have the powers of all the classical elements: fire, earth, air, water, and the bonus ones, nether (the hellish element) and aether (the heavenly element). Now, the power has been simplified to one element. Like Bleep, Destructo has the same genetic enhancements like super strength, speed, and intelligence. But instead of futomic energy, Destructo's primal enhancement is dark energy, in which our villain has the power to control the mysterious cosmic source that makes up of 68.3% of our universe. However, Destructo still uses his dark energy while practicing sorcery as that (acco is the best way to control his powers efficiently such as using it for teleportation, summoning objects, or for offense and defense spells.

In terms of design, Destructo now has a more futuristic outfit and sharper armor, representing his cold and gruesome nature. However, his hood, cape, demon red eyes, leather boots, and armored claws remain the same. His additional weapons and personality is also left unchanged as he is still the ruthless and malicious monster that will do anything to terminate Colonel Bleep.

Scratch

Scratch still resembles a contemporary caveman with the same leopard tunic, large muscles, and, but now he can fight with weapons combined with wood and lead metal by Colonel Bleep, who helped redesign them as a greater advantage in hunting game and managing wood. Inititally Scratch had five weapons total, but now it has been reduced to three where Scratch only wields the club, axe, and bow and arrows. Scratch also is given five digits (fingers and toes) to resemble real humans more accurately, while Bleep still has four. This change makes Scratch's first alien contact slightly more surprising than expected as well provide a little more contrast between humans and futurians.

Scratch's past is also changed a little more where he still grew up in the stone age with his tribe, except they are more nomadic and Scratch accidentally gets lost from them during a snowstorm and is trapped in solid ice for 20,000 years.

Squeak

In the beginning Squeak's first redesign was loosely inspired by Sheriff Woody from Disney and Pixar's Toy Story franchise. Not only that, but it was also inspired by an early design of the original Squeak from the Alpha Video DVD Cover, who wore a blue, simplified outfit, cream-colored hat, and a red bandana. For the newer redesign, Squeak will have a closer resemblance for Clint Eastwood's famous spaghetti western character of the 1960s: The Man with No Name.

Another important change given to the little puppet is that he will be still be brought to life in 1945, but he will be chronilogically 24 years old in 1969, making him legally old enough to work as a space deputy (as the youngest age to work as an enlisted agent for the Futura High Command is 18). Even if he may lived as long as a young adult, Squeak will always have the mind, body, and the heart of a curious, spunky little boy.

A part from changing parts of the premise and characters, the website and social pages in particular will also recieve a do-over. The website will still be hosted by Mozello but it will feature a more stunning logo for the show's title as well as a more colorful, retro-style redesign that will make it stand out from your average modern web page. I'll also be doing some renovations for the social platforms as I plan to try and re-promote the series with all the new changes made in the process.

Celebrating Pride Month with Colonel Bleep

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 16:14:00 +0000

Since 1970, June became the month to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community around the globe, as they continue to fight for civil rights and freedom just like people of color, women, people with disabilities, and other ethnic groups had for many years. On June 25, marks the celebration of the iconic rainbow flag that symbolizes the pride of LGBTQ+ since 1978. June 25 is also the day celebrating color television which is why we're displaying a special poster combining both holidays.

Based on vintage posters and advertisments for color TV, here is a joyful depiction of our modern Colonel Bleep displaying the 1957 predecessor on a stylish color TV set. Not only but we also have groovy, mid-century modern shapes and symbols displaying eight colors of the original 1978 Rainbow Pride Flag designed by the artist and activist Gilbert Baker.

While the flag has changed over the past few decades (up to becoming a more progressive and harmonious symbol for our community), we want to acknowledge the flag from back where it all began, along with its symbolic colors: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic and the arts, indigo for serenity, and violet for spirit.

We hope you find this poster as welcoming for any Colonel Bleep fans and newcomers who are openly LGBTQ+, along with those who are still questioning themselves or unready to come out of the closest, even during some current troubling moments.

Colonel Bleep comes to PeerTube

Wed, 28 May 2025 18:37:00 +0000

Recently, the indie animation era has earned a strong growth of popularity, specifically on YouTube. In some cases there have been some instant hits such as Glitch Productions's The Amazing Digital Circus (2023-), Iron Circus's Lackadaisy (2023-), and most recently, Kiana Khansmith's Pretty Pretty Please. I don't want to be a Magical Girl (2025). In others, there have been some promising works that don't get as much apprieciation like Olan Roger's Godspeed, Joshua and Ashely Palmer's Monkey Wrench (2023-), Zeddyzi's Ramshackle (2024-), and Mirandamation's Atlas and the Stars (2023-). Then there are the other indie animated works that earn almost no recognition such as Dúlamán Studio's Oribis (2024-) and Austin McConnell's The Sensational Catman (2024).

Since the summer of 2024, we had released our own test pilot for our Colonel Bleep remake titled Colonel Bleep and the Test Theme. Unfortunately, like some indie pilots, The Test Theme was not very successful as it had earned fewer than a thousand views before it was taken down. Therefore, just because some indie animated works may gain success and spark hope for a new era, doesn't mean it will apply to every indie animated work. In other words, it is clear that YouTube is simply not the suitable platform for creative works like it used to be (except for the popular few).

Having second thoughts, it is decided that future content regarding Uncharted Earth will be released on a more ethical and inclusive alternative: PeerTube. This also means that the pilot has also been transferred to PeerTube as well. For those who don't know PeerTube (intitially named Chocobozzz) is a decentralized video platform. Rather than being powered by a megacorporation or two (such as Google and Alphabet Inc. controlling YouTube), users are the ones who take control of PeerTube in a variety of subplatforms, which is known as peer-to-peer platforming. Of course, PeerTube still has some issues such as lack of monetizations for content creators and difficulties in trying to register (since there are many platforms to choose from when joining PeerTube). It is also not very popular, especially since there are very few indie animators that have posted their content there (primarily those that use open source 3D animation software Blender), but that doesn't mean PeerTube doesn't have potential to grow.

Considering that Uncharted Earth is moving to PeerTube, we're hoping that this will spark a new revolution, in which content creators and audiences do not always have to rely on mainstream platforms and can make a change by supporting more open source alternatives (such as donating money, posting and transferrirng their content their, spreading the word regarding the fediverse, etc.), especially indie animators. We will also be releasing episodes based on the 1957 predecessor every once in a while, since no one else has dared to release any classic Colonel Bleep cartoons in PeerTube. Eventually, users will be able to experience all forty-five surviving episodes of Colonel Bleep and we will be looking forward to release more episodes that still remain missing as of 2025. So be sure to check them out on its new channel, Colonel Bleep TV!

A New Book is Now Available!

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:47:00 +0000

Disclaimer: The following article was originally released on February 16, 2025 and has been transferred from GoDaddy to Mozello for preservation purposes.

Before I begin the article, I wish you all a happy Indie Animation Day, in which we celebrate all things indie animation, from a massive variety of web shows to experimental movies that defy your average Hollywood films. Because of this, I’m here to promote a special tie-in release for Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth. As you may or may not know, Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth originally started as a novel. Due to poor promotional skills on social media (especially as a first-time author), I decided to scrap the book away and turn this passion project into an indie animated series instead. However, I created another book titled Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth: The Quest to Revive a Forgotten Classic.

In this publication, readers will be introduced to the original series and its complicated history, the studio behind it all, the ongoing renaissance of Colonel Bleep since the 90s, plans for a potential remake in a growing age of indie animation, and a script to its test pilot Colonel Bleep and the Test Theme. Also, readers will be exposed to over 70 colorful pictures, including promotional material from Soundac and the classic predecessor, concept art for the modern variation of Colonel Bleep, and screenshots from the test pilot. Consider purchasing a either a hardcover or paperback copy on Lulu or download a free PDF on Internet Archive starting February 16!

Easter Eggs in Colonel Bleep and the Test Theme

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:40:00 +0000

Disclaimer: The following article was originally released on January 31, 2025 and has been transferred from GoDaddy to Mozello for preservation purposes.

As of January 31, 2025, Colonel Bleep and the Test Theme has been introduced to the world for almost half a year. If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you watch it on the Internet Archive or PeerTube before reading this article. While not incredibly notable, Colonel Bleep and the Test Pilot includes some cameos that refer to the original series and other Soundac productions.

Rockets and Saucers near Jupiter

The first batch of cameos features a city near Jupiter, the gas giant. Above its buildings, several flight vehicles pass by, including a tall, narrow rocket labeled “J.”

The Green Saucer: This lime-green saucer features two aliens with antennae on their heads. It originated from a rare 1962 Soundac commercial featuring aliens traveling from Venus to explore the World’s Fair in Seattle, Washington.
The Purple Ship with Three Tails: Another ship is tinted dark purple and has three tails. This refers to a minor villain named Octo the Terrible, a temporary companion to Dr. Destruco in the episode Danger Below.
The Orange Cargo Ship: The next ship is a cargo ship from Jupiter. It was previously spotted in The Bat and the Bottle, in which three characters suffered a firestorm on another planet called Thor.
The Blue Space Scooter: Next, we see another alien closely resembling a human. This one, in particular, is riding a space scooter, which most space deputies use when on flight patrol or other duties.
The Gray Rocket: This gray-coded rocket, resembling a missile, was inspired by a similar rocket owned by Dr. Destructo. However, only his minions pilot the ship.
Another Saucer from Venus: The second-to-last spacecraft in line is another Venusian saucer coded in pink. This kind of saucer is mentioned twice in The Battle and the Bottle and The Wicked Web, where four crashed near floating icebergs near Pluto.
The Red Cruiser: The last ship passing by is a narrow cruiser from Mars. Three cruisers, mentioned in The Bat and the Bottle and The Evil Eye, were lost during a severe space storm on a strange sea of liquid air.

The T-Shirt

One of the earlier scenes featuring Lucius shows him as a young boy testing his strange powers, including his intelligence, speed, agility, and strength. In one part, a teenage Lucius is seen lifting the heaviest weights, wearing a white T-shirt with a blue angular letter “T” surrounded by a red ring. The emblem originated from another animated series by Soundac, Mighty Mister Titan: a 1960s animated series intended to encourage children to exercise often and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, this show was one of Soundac’s most unsuccessful projects and was ultimately canceled after former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

Danger from the Screen

While observing the countless dangers from the universe, Bleep, in his lab coat, changes the screen three times.

The first picture shows an ice demon, a minor villain appearing in Ice Demons Attack and Test of Friendship.
The second picture shows a power plant in flames, which references The Firebomb.
The third picture depicts a rocket crashing on a volcanic planet called Thor, which was prominently featured in Fire Water.

Flash past Uranus and Neptune

Near the end of the pilot, Bleep pilots his saucer as it passes by Uranus and Neptune via hyperspeed. The saucer is an upgraded version of Colonel Bleep’s laboratory from the original series. It is similar in design and structure, but the newer version can work like a spaceship. Then, there is another scene where Bleep witnesses the giant, shadowy figure of Dr. Destructo. Finally, we see Bleep take flight and salute the audience before it fades out.

In these two moments, the narrator says, “Now in a cosmic crusade of a lifetime, Colonel Bleep will travel up, down, backward, or forwards in distance and time. He shall face danger and battles between life and death while trying to maintain truth and justice throughout the vast galaxies of the universe. So here he is, the eccentrical Colonel Bleep: spaceman of the future!”

All three scenes pay homage to Col. Bleep’s Arrival on Earth, the first episode of the 1950s series, and are closely connected to the last three sentences announced by its narrator.

“So here they are three extraordinary companions, Colonel Bleep [Bleeps} of the future, [Squeaks] Squeak of the present, and Scratch [Scratches] of the distant past. Together, they travel up, down, backward, or forwards in distance or time. Together, they face danger and death as they fight to maintain right and justice throughout the vast galaxies of the world.”

Interviews and a Rotten Film with Ziggy Cashmere

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:37:00 +0000

Disclaimer: The following article was originally released on January 17, 2025 and has been transferred from GoDaddy to Mozello for preservation purposes.

Back in the summer, before I left Discord, I met a particular content creator and college student named Ziggy Cashmere (not in person, obviously). Ziggy is an author and filmmaker who has spent time uncovering lost media and documenting media with poor development, such as the infamous 2012 animated film Foodfight. He has also spent time preserving old media, such as film reels, and is the creator of his analysis channel Ok, so….

Unexpectedly, he gained interest in contributing to the search for restoring Colonel Bleep and sharing information about other forgotten works by Soundac. The research became more interesting when Ziggy interviewed Scott Schleh (sculptor and son of the co-creator, Jack Schleh) and Jerry Beck (one of the earliest pioneers in restoring Colonel Bleep). Later, on July 30, 2024, Ziggy created an article, Building Zero-Zero Island, which foretells the complicated history of Soundac and its productions. He soon adapted the article into a YouTube video titled Television's First (and Lost) Color Cartoon, which primarily discusses the making of the original Colonel Bleep series. Not only that, but he also scanned pictures of Soundac's promotional material and leftover artwork that remained visually fresh for decades. These images are available on Flickr and the Colonel Bleep Wiki on Fandom.

While interviewing Scott Schleh, he eventually offered a film reel that hadn't been projected in nearly seventy years. Ziggy eventually promoted a campaign on Ko-Fi so that he could raise enough money to buy certain chemicals to restore the film's quality. As time passed, the reel was cleaned from the vinegar syndrome decay and scanned by a Twitter/X user named Quazza, but the results didn't come as expected. Most of the film's imagery has entirely faded, with only fifteen seconds left in the reel to be well-polished.

According to his next video, Saving a Destroyed (and Personal) Cartoon, the reel consisted of four unknown episodes and was made as a present from Jack Schleh to a close friend named George Schwenk. Schwenk had two children, Debbie and Kurt, who were most likely fans of the show. Based on what was left on the reel, the introduction reveals the lost cartoons dedicated to these children with love. While the results may have been disappointing, restoring this forgotten reel did not fail, as Ziggy was grateful to have been able to repair a film that hadn't been preserved in such a long time. In the long run, Ziggy has done his best by interviewing important people who could offer him the most crucial information and resources possible. He will continue trying to retrieve more reels owned by other archivists. For more accurate information, please consider watching the following videos in the article. Don't forget to read Ziggy's article documenting Soundac.

The Streamline Episodes

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:03:00 +0000

Disclaimer: The following article was originally released on December 20, 2024 and has been transferred from GoDaddy to Mozello for preservation purposes.

A long time ago, in California, three lovers of animation of every kind (Carl Macek, Jerry Beck, and Fred Patten) founded a media company, Streamline Pictures, in 1988. The company helped release video cassettes of anime films (ex., My Neighbor Totoro and Akira) and series in the United States. Besides anime, Streamline also released cassettes of obscure classic cartoons such as Animaland, Musical Paintbox, Cambria’s infamous syncro-vox cartoons Space Angel and Clutch Cargo, and, for the first time, Colonel Bleep.

Two years before Streamline Pictures was founded, Jerry Beck (a college student) and his friend John Kricfalusi (the future creator of The Ren and Stimpy Show, and before he was deemed a criminal) threw small cartoon parties by watching cartoons from stacks of 16 mm film reels. Then, one day, Kricfaulsi suggested Beck bring in the “worst” obscure cartoons nobody could remember in 30 years or more. This is when Beck brought in reels of Colonel Bleep, whom he had watched as a child and remembered the show having severely limited animation but an appealing art style (note that the art style is one of Kricfaulsi’s inspirations on The Ren and Stimpy Show, specifically on the episode Space Madness).

And so it was decided that Beck would begin finding and restoring the first fourteen episodes of Colonel Bleep. These episodes were brought from the original master reels of the show, which were found in a lab in Texas that was falling from bankruptcy. To this day, Tom T. Moore of Reel Media International and Tom T. Reich of Make Business Smarter keep some master reels in their archives. Streamline planned to release five volumes of Colonel Bleep, but only two were released as most of these episodes were too degraded to be restored. Despite this, the people of Streamline were still willing to give the show a chance to be heard once again by the world and start a search to restore the complete adventures of Colonel Bleep.

Volume One

Colonel Bleep’s Arrival on Earth

Colonel Bleep prepares for his first adventures on earth and meets Squeak and Scratch as his new closest friends and deputies, thus starting a series of wacky escapades.

Scratch and His Feathered Friend

Progress Regarding Episode One (Part Two)

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:00 +0000

Disclaimer: The following article was originally released on November 22, 2024 and has been transferred from GoDaddy to Mozello for preservation purposes.

Today, I am proud to announce the starring cast of characters who will be featured in the first episode of Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth! These actors worked hard to pursue their roles, strengthening each character’s dialogue and personality.

Cadet Lucius Morningstar

VA: Henry Barrows

Growing up in Futura, Lucius was known to be a gifted child prodigy, which allowed him to skip a few grades ahead during his schooling years. When he hit puberty, he eventually gained the powers of a super soldier, including enhanced speed, strength, and agility. But that was all thanks to being created in an unethical lab operation and losing his parents shortly after his birth. Despite living the life of a lonely orphan, Lucius had always dreamed of being a space ranger. He attempted to pursue such a career once he enrolled as a space cadet at the Futura High Command Academy at 18. However, his day attending the school’s orientation would not go as perfectly as planned.

Cadet Etoile Feu

VA: Jaxon Stallings

While trying to adjust to his new life in the Academy, Cadet Feu is disrupted by Cadet Morningstar, who only wants to build a nice friendship with him. Although he can be rude, snobby, and impatient, Feu is just too clever and attractive for Morningstar to leave behind. Yet our protagonist is unaware of the suspicious tricks Feu has hidden under his sleeve.

Regarding the episode, a full-on storyboard sequence is in the works. The plan is to finish it by December 9 before 4:00 pm due to a critique for a storyboard class. Unlike most storyboards, this one will be drawn in full-color frames, thus resembling more of a comic strip with its panels shaped in various ways. Of course, I will not share the storyboard until after the episode is complete due to spoilers. As soon as it's over, I will continue animating the episode while attending another class: Advanced Transmedia: Animated Short Film.

The Alpha Video Episodes

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:46:00 +0000

Disclaimer: The following article was originally released on November 8, 2024 and has been transferred from GoDaddy to Mozello for preservation purposes.

Whenever a cartoon enters the public domain, it’s likely to be featured on DVD collections from third-party media companies such as Millcreek’s Cartoon Collections or Digiview’s Toon Factory. Or better yet, a series of certain cartoons under the same title may have their DVD collection from whatever company is willing to produce it. In one instance, a reel of formerly lost episodes of Colonel Bleep (along with a few found earlier) was brought to life on DVD and produced by Alpha Video. This collection rapidly increased the number of Colonel Bleep episodes and the show’s involvement in many public-domain cartoon collections on DVD. Like in the Toontracker Article, a list describing each episode will be provided in the Alpha Video article.

The Uncharted Island

After forming the trio, Colonel Bleep and his friends set out to find a place to call home.

The Earth from Outer Space

The trio observes and learns about how time on Earth works. Later, they attended a Mardi Gras festival in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Building an Island Base

With his futomic energy, Colonel Bleep builds homes for himself and his friends on Zero-Zero Island. Instantly, they visit the former Belgian Congo and witness a sugarcoated sequence in the country (Warning: This episode contains politically incorrect scenes that can offend specific audiences. Viewer discretion is advised).

Scratch and the Sea Serpent

Scratch gets trapped in the stomach of a sea monster. With a pair of futomic lightning bolts, Bleep and Squeak set off to rescue the caveman.

Squeak and the Terrible Termite

Bleep and Scratch set off to rescue Squeak, who had been abducted by a termite that had somehow grown into a malicious monster.

The Runaway Rocket
