History of Soundac

Soundac was founded in 1951 and Created Colonel Bleep. Bobby Nicholson founded Soundac but later left to go to The Howdy Doody Show and was replaced by Robert D. Buchanan. Based in Buffalo, NY, Soundac moved to Miami, FL. Most of Soundac's Clients were outside of NY, mostly shops without their own TV stations. In Miami, it was known that there was a heated pool and patio, Quote "combine business and pleasure without leaving the premises" Soundac's work was 90% final writing and storyboarding. in 1960, Soundac Moved from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, with the miami building becoming the home of WLBW-TV (now WPLG), After acquiring "a substantial interest" in Soundac in 1961, Richard H. Ullman, whose company was a client of Soundac and produced Colonel Bleep, became the company's board chairman. It is believed that when Soundac was closing down, a van being used to carry the company's materials was stolen by car thieves,Its contents have not been found since, although some of the films have turned up on home video collections and the Internet. (Note: There may have been some potentail Colonel Bleep film in the van but that's my theory)

Episodes

"Episodes could follow any number of formats. Training episodes would often follow a format of binary oppositions in which the savvy learner Scratch would follow Bleep's instructions while the hotshot Squeak blew off his duties and got himself into trouble. Travelogues featured the trio visiting areas such as the Belgian Congo or New Orleans, with no substantial conflict. Most commonly, the trio would be pit against intergalactic villains, some of whom were recurring: the hooded archvillain Dr. Destructo, who escaped from the rings of Saturn early in the series; Bruto the Black Robot, Dr. Destructo's former henchman; Black Patch, a space pirate; and the Black Knight of Pluto"-Wikipedia.
