Lost Media Cartoon Network: Help Turner (and Myself) Find a Bit of Tape

This is the first time in Ten years of this Blog that I am posting anything like this.
Way back in 1996 I did a show Called the "Uncle Paul Show" in the early days of Cartoon Network.
(Airdates: June 29-June 30, 1996. ) It was for the  Cartoon Network JUNE BUGS Special.
I've done many things over the years but this one is a favorite project.
Here is the show circled in an old TV Guide. (Some of my older readers may remember when we looked at these kinds of things in print.)
Paul Parducci's "Uncle Paul Show" listing from TV Guide.
I very much enjoyed the people I worked with. In particular the brilliant duo of Keith Crofford and Mike Lazzo- who went on to create and continue to drive the mold-breaking TV Universe of Adult Swim. (And of course my great forever pals Russ Reiley (on script)  and Mark Newgarden (Set Design)
Here I am in the Press Release Promo Shot:
Press Promo for Paul Parducci's "Uncle Paul Show" on Cartoon Network.
 Well for the past year or so, the good folks at Turner Broadcasting have been scouring the vaults for a copy of this show to no avail.
So I am asking  for your help.
If anyone out there has a copy or knows where we can find one please post here.
Or contact me through (Producer Inquiries under Contact Information for Paul on the Side Bar)
You can also connect through Twitter or Facebook
Your Assistance is Greatly Appreciated- (And I will Laud you mightily!)
Later,
Paul Parducci

I remember this show! I don't have a tape, but I clearly remember the theme song had a kid chorus singing, "Uncle Paul! Uncle Paul! Uncle uncle uncle Paul!"

Oh my God I remember this! I still remember something that a lot of people weren't aware of. There was a fake commercial for a Paul Sings compilation album where they gave out a phone number (1-800-555-PAUL). You were told in the commercial not to call. Being 11-years old, of course I didn't listen. It a number for a 1-800 sex hotline. I remember it vividly because it showed up on mwasy parents phone bill and I got my ass blistered for calling it.
