Looking over Wikipedia for Emmy nominees, found something in 1962's awards for Stan Freberg, the Chun King Chow Mein Hour.
Really? I'm no expert on Stan Freberg, but I have heard a number of his productions (any time I hear a reference to scallions, I have to respond, "Most folks call 'em green onions, but they're really scallions.") and this was completely new to me.
Usually, a search reveals nothing, such as the search for a Phil Silvers vehicle from 1959 that also received an Emmy nomination. Sixty years isn't enough to go into public domain, I get that. The heart wants what it wants, though, and this time, I got what I wanted.
It's a terrible copy of a copy of a kinescope, but it exists, and that's good enough for me. As soon as I type a few more words and insert a link, maybe two, I'm going back to watching it.
