A site devoted to the 1976 Saturday morning show, The Kids from: C.A.P.E.R.
Those who remember it can never forget it . . . and still love it.

The Kids from C.A.P.E.R. episode King Cone is now available to view in our Videos section, as well as on our YouTube Channel!  And there you can also find a good quality copy of the episode Phantom of the Drive-In!  Many thanks to the one and only Steve Bonino for making these episodes available to upload.  He really wanted the fans to be able to see them again!  Thanks, too, to Heavy Metal Steve Wann, for being the conduit by which this was able to happen!  While you're at it, be sure to check out the other rare videos we've discovered from the first two episodes Mummy's the Word and The Goodfather, as well as The Great NBC Smilin' Saturday Mornin' Parade!

We have now posted our exclusive
Q&A Interview with Steve Bonino to the 
Actors section!  Many thanks to Steve
for sharing so many of his memories of C.A.P.E.R. and his career with us, and
we look forward to your many
future projects!
