Anyone remember these cool claymation bits ABC ran during thier shows in (I think) the late 80s/early 90s?

Somebody was singing this at work today, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since! Anyways, they were pretty cool, creative little skits. Does anyone know if audio, video or even photos are available anywhere on the net?

I don't know anything about this one because, I remember the bumper from many of the ABC Saturday morning shows including "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", "New Kids on the Block" and of course "The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show" they were singing "After these messages, will be right back!" in both the claymation and of course those young kids singing during one of the ABC bumpers used on Saturday mornings for so many years. That brings back a lot of memories. I know all of these early Saturday morning ABC bumpers for years going back in the late 70's and early 80's. Here are four clips:

ABC Bumper #1
ABC Bumper #2
ABC Bumper #3
ABC Bumper #4

Wasn't those the bumpers wth the claymated firehydrant and the yellow dog? I recall two of them:

1). The usual bumper playing, then the fire hydrant licks the dog and the dog says, YEEEEEECK!

2). Another one I recall is the hydrant tickling the dog and the dog starts laughing.

Too bad, we don't see anything like this anymore now that Disney owns ABC nowadays.

Are those the ones?
