Snipets

Snipets were a series of 1 minute long short films for children which were produced by Kaiser Broadcasting, and later Field Communications. They ran on Kaiser/Field TV stations and were also syndicated to additional stations in the U.S.

One of the most memorable Snipets was the "Come Back Here" can, which showed kids how they could take a coffee can and a rubber band and create a toy that would roll back to them when pushed.

During its first year on the air, the theme song for "Snipets" was Popcorn by the band Hot Butter. The opening was soon shortened to eliminate the brief song clip.

Approximately 100 Snipets were produced between 1972 and 1978. They aired until 1982.

A common misspelling of these shorts is "Snippets".
