Yeah, I can’t find my grandmas episode of Jeopardy. I know it happened because we have a photo and a letter from the Jeopardy team, but that’s it. I want to say she was on in one of the first season’s, around the early 60’s. She watched most of the episodes every night, and was an avid fan. Love and miss her.
That's neat! My dad was on our local version of Family Feud and actually won a car from it (despite the original title, he entered with his work buddies, not as a family - IIRC, it was mostly/only adults who competed on the show). I want to find that episode, I don't know why we didn't tape it but I've likely only seen it once on TV. I was also in the audience but I was maybe 10 or younger so I can't remember much. This is very early 2000s so I likely have a much better chance of somehow finding the episode than you do of your grandma (well, except there's probably a stronger interest and effort in finding Jeopardy episodes than preserving some random 2000s European version of Family Feud). At some point I spotted a few taped episodes floating around the internet but none of those (2, maybe 3?) episodes that my dad was on.
If there is going to be one, it should the scene from The Los World Jurassic Park where a character named Peter Ludlow accidentally crush the baby T-Rex’s leg due to being drunk, and was scolded at by his hunter friend Roland Tembo.

The thing about "Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce" and the Abby Cadabby resource video is that they did the second attempt RIGHT. The Snuffy episode was all about what happens DURING a divorce, and the mental toll it takes on children, but they went about it in a clumsy way, making Snuffy's little sister act out. That's what the test audience reacted to. Supposedly she was beating up her stuffed animals or throwing a tantrum or something. Whereas the second attempt talked about the divorce in past tense with reflection, and even managed to make a recurring character of her stepbrother in future episodes. The message there was "things are going to be okay." The message of the Snuffy one sounds like it came off as "Dammit, kid. You're screwed."
"Your parents are breaking up?" SPGaD - "damn kid, you're kinda screwed here lol" The Resource Video - "It's all gonna be okay, buddy. It's tough to go through, but it will all be okay."
@@GumSkyloard That's why Sesame Street painstakingly researches and tests the hell out of stuff. Why they didn't have the divorce happen in the past in the first place, rather than showing it in real time is beyond me. No wonder they had to stop the episode from airing. I blame the fact that one of the characters they used was meant to represent a toddler.
It scares me that could of been a world where monty python's complete series could of been taped over by the BBC. The bbc should be beyond ashamed of itself on how much lost media it created. To try and save money like that is really disheartening
To be fair to the BBC the cost of storing episodes in the days when everything was on huge film reels or tapes was expensive. Broadcast quality video tape in the 60s and 70s was expensive, so tapes were reused. Also, agreements with actors and musicians often meant that the BBC only had the rights to show episodes in the UK a couple of times. This was because unions wanted to force broadcasters to film fresh content to provide steady work for their members. Once an episode's agreed single repeat was used, and it was no longer selling to overseas markets, the tapes/reels were defunct. To be honest, given the circumstances, it is shocking how many shows the BBC decided to keep. Up until the mid 1970s the Beeb never expected it would be able to legally show the overwhelming majority of old content ever again, even if it wanted to. The classic BBC shows you enjoy today are only available because the Beeb went back and renegotiated with every actor and musician that worked on each episode to get new rights to use them. Some shows will never be released because actors have refused to agree new terms (I believe David Jason, of Del Boy Trotter fame, has blocked some of his earliest comedy shows from being shown again this way. I heard James Bolam also blocked his sitcom The Likely Lads for a while, rumour has it out of spite after he fell out with co-star Rodney Bewes -- although this is just a rumour!)
I always thought america's most wanted was just former stories that were largely exaggerated like dr phil. i had no idea that it actually was that important in catching criminals
That and Unsolved Mysteries really helped in catching many criminals that would have otherwise probably gotten away with their crimes. They even managed to capture some really notorious criminals with the help of the viewers at home. Sometimes within minutes of the story airing on TV.
Nope... old true crime shows used to be fairly serious about their purpose. The shows and even networks now make everything campy and over-produced. It's not about solving a crime, it's about how 'scandalous' it is. Imagine becoming bored of true stories of horror...

If you don't know why Henson Studios won't release their banned episodes, I can spoil it for you: They care more about children who are growing up now than they do about sharing past misfires (for the better). The reason they show bits and pieces at a museum display is because most people that would go to an illusion-destroying display about the history of the studio are adults who are capable of seeing such media without it destroying part of their innocence.
this is the correct answer, and it makes sense. Jim Henson cared first and foremost about the children, so he would never want something out there that did more harm than good. As you said, in a museum setting, it's very different than just airing an episode for children to see and potentially be traumatized by.
one thing people don't talk about are the custom FBI piracy warnings that were on the physical releases. a lot of shows had songs and characters appear on these screens but most don't appear online.
@@blackbearcj5819 I can literally tell you about one of them. The original Viz Video VHS releases of the anime Ranma 1/2 had customized segments of the English VA's speaking in character about how the tape they are watching is copyrighted and how they better not copy it, over still images of their characters. Most of these tapes are impossible to find now, or extremely rare and out of print, and none of the DVD's, Blu-Rays or other releases over the years contain them. This is unfortunate since a lot of the lines were different, depending on the character and some were mildly to hilariously funny.
@@blackbearcj5819 the dvd release for the homestarrunner toons/ strongbad emails all have custom made fbi warnings voiced by the characters! Usually when a show has custom intros you can rewatch them in the extras menu or hidden menus you navigate to with your remote.
There was an episode of Joey Bishop's sitcom in the early 60s that didn't air and is now lost. The reason for the disappearance of this particular episode is that it was filmed on November 15, 1963 and featured guest star Vaughan Meader. It had been scheduled to air in February of the following year, but since Meader's entire act involved his impersonation of President Kennedy, the network rightly decided not to show it and later announced that it had been destroyed.
There is a difference between “lost media” & “banned media”. Case in point, the Sesame Street episodes were banned & can be watched with the proper clearance from Sesame Works.
This is especially true when you consider that different locations can ban media for their own reasons. For instance, there are cartoons that are readily available here in America, but are banned in other countries such as China or Saudi Arabia for one reason or another.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 😞 you maybe 🤔 on to something there. I have also noticed that lately in videos. Also people don’t do enough research 🧐 before they release their videos. Especially if it is a small team of one or two people that create everything for their channel. Sometimes it is better to take an extra month or two before you release something, even if it’s past its primary target date. Better to have something excellent that you are still proud of ten/fifteen years from now than something that’s hot for only a couple of months at most.
Perhaps an episode about shows that were, or still are mostly lost? Like Monster By Mistake or David Spade's Sammy? Oh also idk what type of episode it would fit in, but the topic of Wolfman Zapp is pretty interesting, and I'd love to see you talk about it.
Also the kids show The Goodnight Show with Nina and Star, which aired on Sprout from the mid 2000s to the 2010s! It was my childhood but there’s only 2 completely found episodes, with the vast majority being either partially lost or completely lost :(

I'm happy to see the channel expanding beyond media for children. That stuff is very well-documented. Shifting focus away from this would truly make this channel "all things lost".
Very well could be true, I remember I saw an episode of Pawn Stars where some dude had a Czars personal crafted sword that he thought was just some ceremonial dime a dozen thing
The E! Network had a show called "Wild On" hosted by Brooke Burke. There was an Episode "Wild On Japan". I never got to see it because my lame ass roommates didn't want to watch it. 20 years later, and I still wanna see it!
I'd love to see some lost musicals/stage shows! Since it doesn't rely on being filmed to be distributed, a lot of shows that don't get a lot of hype just... disappear! I'm sure there are some well-known ones.
35,000 subs is a lot, especially when you actually think about it! You're just going to keep getting more and more from here on out, and you deserve every SINGLE ONE of them dude. It's such a great channel you have here. Next stop is 100k! You'll be there soon if you keep going!

No Doctor Who? The quest to retrieve even a small part of the first two Doctors' now-destroyed lost episodes once the series started achieving a cult status is also a pretty interesting story to tell, with BBC staff having to go through every syndicating TV station across the old Commonwealth to see if someone had forgot to return their copy back at the time, them phoning all the way to Iran (only to be replied "What in the name of Allah are you talking about?") and a couple of reels being found in UK in the basement of a building that was then recently being repurposed as a Mormon church.
I really clicked thinking you were going to do a bunch I'd heard of before, but I was wrong! Well done! I'd love to see one exclusively on Reality TV. (In second grade my bff told me they couldn't air a season of Survivor because someone got eaten by a cheetah and I've been interested in "unairable things" ever since...)
There's a TON of legendary BBC shows that were lost to being recorded over for Wimbledon.... Even episodes of Dr. Who were lost to that I believe. I remember hearing there's an entire comedy sitcom that inspired the likes of Monty Python lost to being taped over for fucking tennis.

Episodes 1 and 4 of the eight episode serial The Invasion, and all but episode 2 of the six episode serial The Space Pirates. This means 26 out of 50 serials from 1960s Doctor Who, of the first two doctors, have missing episodes, a little over half of them, so that means 97 episodes in total are missing. There is possible good news however, as it has been reported that a total of 17 of the 26 missing serials may exist in the Middle East, in their entirety. Assuming 17 serials were sent over there, they may not all be missing serials, but judging from the Government's reluctancy to return them due to wanting to use them as a "political bargaining tool", the possibility of them being missing serials is extremely high.
This show may not be well known but i don't care The Mr. Men Show - the last episode For those who don't know what this show is, this 2008 animated series is an adaptation of the books written by british autor Roger Hargreaves and aired on Cartoon Network in the US and Channel 5 Milkshake in the UK Despite most of the US dub being available on TH-cam in HD uploaded by user "Thumpity Bump" there is one episode that doesnt have an HD version which ironically is the last episode of the show ever made Pests was the last episode of the series made and the only recording of the episode on YT is in low quality Although i believe the british dub of the episode is available in one of the compilations uploaded to the official Mr. Men Little Miss TH-cam channel
The divorce of snuffy was actually released as part of the more adult oriented muppets dvd. It’s not hard to find but from I know the production numbers are still up meaning that it was never edited at all and it wasn’t ever finished as they planned a couple more segments extending the story.
Great episode - for the record, Wheel Of Fortune premiered in 1975, not 1965; there was an earlier show with the same title but it's not related to the current version. When you consider that it was almost cancelled twice due to marginally low ratings, in 1979 and again in 1980, well before the current nighttime edition started and became a huge hit, it's hard to believe it's still on the air. Also, I'd love to find out if one of the game show networks (GSN, Buzzr) could find and air the episodes of the two "lost/forgotten" hosts, Rolf Benirschke, who hosted the NBC daytime version after Pat Sajak left the show for his ill-fated late night CBS talk show until it was dropped by the network, and Bob Goen, who took over from Benirschke when it moved from NBC to CBS after the former cancelled it. Still, great episode - love your stuff, keep it coming! :-)
When I think of lost episodes, I think about Doctor Who. Like most contemporary BBC shows it has several lost episodes, but the most mourned loss is the First Doctor's regeneration episode.
Hey Mike, I love that you're making new videos very frequently. I'd just like to ask, is this because TH-cam is your full time job now? Or do you still have a 9-5? Anyway, keep up the good work!
I remember watching a Peanuts special where Charlie Brown finally *kicked* the bleeping football, but I haven't been able to find reference to it, anywhere. Would've aired sometime during the early 70s. There was also a b&w live action Christmas special called "The Littlest Angel" that was my favorite special for 2 or 3 years, until it disappeared. It had some clever effects, considering the limits of 1960s television; & told an endearing story about a child shepherd in Biblical times who dies, visits his grieving parents as an invisible ghost; & while trying to be contained by more adult angels, learns that everyone's busy making gifts for the young king... The boy angel decides to give the baby Jesus *his* greatest treasure -- retrieved from his earthly bedroom! No one's even heard of that show, except me.😢
I want to say about the South Park episode, they didn't gamble on Obama winning. They were ready to go if McCain had won too, they luckily found a lot of the placeholder speech they had was similar to Obama's actual speech. The episode wouldn't have been much different had McCain won.
I will share my knoledge of this show and give you a bonus entry My Little Pony Friendship is Magic - original draft of "Spike at Your Service" MLP does has it's fair share of lost media but this one is interesting to me On November 10th, 2012, the series' third season premiered on The Hub. And with it came an episode titled "Spike at your Service" in which Twilight Sparkle's assistant Spike becomes a servant to Applejack after she saves his life. However, in earlier drafts of the episode, it was Rarity who had saved Spike's life instead of Applejack. This version has been said by the show's writers to been a drastically different version of the final episode, with Rarity being written off as mean and unlikeable towards Spike. Because of the mean-spirited tone, the episode was rewritten and retooled to feature Applejack in place of Rarity. Showrunner Meghan McCarthy was the first to mention this version back in a 2013 Panel. Additionally, writer Dave Polsky stated on Twitter that he has the original script to "Spike at your Service", but joked that it's stored away in a vault and shouldn't be opened until 100 years after his death. This draft was scrapped due to the writters on the show thought Rarity was unlikeable towards Spike. Aside from a few passing mentions, nothing from the Rarity version of the episode has surfaced or been seen by the public.
I would love a TH-cam lost media video. It isn't as interesting as TV shows and movies but I'm kinda curious about some early deleted mr Beast controversial videos and stuff like that
I'm a little surprised there was no mention of the Sesame Street episode featuring Margaret Hamilton that was banned, but I had NEVER heard of that divorce episode until now. Now I REALLY wanna see it because I'm truly curious with how badly the episode must've gone over. This was a really cool and nostalgic list, and I'm always glad to learn about more lost media!!
I've been on a kick of these videos lately and have become especially intrigued with the idea of "recent" lost media- mainly because the whole concept initially brings me back to a time when preservation wasn't taken for granted, the "old days". To hear about stuff from 2008, it's wild because that's comes from a time AFTER I conceivably could have been online.... searching for other lost media.
in 2009 i had a youtube series, it wasn't super big (many videos had 40k views back then), many of my viewers were young teens. I released 19 videos back then in my main series, I actually made 20. I have all 20, but they exist nowhere else on the internet because no one saved them. So I have lost media, that was never seen, and then lost media that many people grew up watching. I'm glad they aren't available now though because i find them embarrassing.
Rage Australia has never had a home media release due to copyright issues. Most pre-1978 episodes of Countdown were wiped, which is a shame because it helped kickstart the careers of acts like AC/DC.
there’s another lost mst3k thing: they were going to make a cd-rom with 2 exclusive shorts, but the plans fell through. 1 of them was Assignment Venezuela, which was found & is one of the funniest shorts they’ve ever done. the lost one is Mylar: What’s It To You? I’ve read theories that the master tapes were accidentally auctioned off when mst3k was cancelled for good in 1999, & I feel like if somebody like Jim Mallon had it, they wouldve released it already. my theory is it’s sitting in some fan’s garage under a stack of props
There is a mistake at 10:09 that “Wheel of Fortune” premiered in 1975, not 1965. There was a pilot of “Wheel of Fortune” called “Shopper’s Bazaar” which was aired in 1973.
I dont know the details but I had a highschool teacher who was on Fear Factor but it never aired because it was like... a localized version? so he has one of the only copies.

sazae-san's "air it once and forget it" thing reminds me of how music producer lane 8 started the "this never happened" concept where show staff put recording-proof tape on phone cameras so the audience can enjoy the moment as it happens. he started it because he was tired of the constant use of phones in stadiums and such. edit: and of course unus annus
How 'bout Doctor Who? Several 1963-69 episodes have disappeared- including the one where William Hartnell turns into Patrick Troughton! (And Troughton's 2nd Doctor only has 5 complete stories!)
I found something you may be interested in. It’s YTV’s Squawk Box. It was a Canadian sketch comedy show aired in the mid 1990’s and so far, the opening as well as one episode has surfaced. I remember a show called A2O which was also on YTV and no episodes have surfaced online at all. I also remember 2 shorts on Discovery Kids Canada one had something to do with the weather and the other one, I remember seeing it, but don’t remember the same of it. Good suggestions for you for a Lost Media episode.
Do a video on InuMiya! She made art from 1997-2001 and only 5 pieces of her art are available, 2 from MiyaArchive on SoFurry. When saving the media, Alexa Crawls corrupted all of the files except for a drawing on her link page which may or may not have lost media in it.
I still think lost Comics could be an interesting video and focus on more general sequential art related stuff, like the earliest known webcomic which is lost or the lost art of the guy who created the original human torch who burned all of his original art
1:33 I was there at the time but they didn't show any of the lost episodes. Not when I was there anyway. There was a small theater there but they were showing a clip of Jim Henson singing to his puppet chickens. I can't remember the song exactly. I don't have a video but I do have a picture of it. I doubt it was taken off of the public's eye since it was extremely innocent. If they were showing one of these two cartoons at the time I would've recorded as much as I could. I did get a lot of pictures of story boards but I'm not sure if any of them are also lost (or never made into) media, including a Wilkin's Coffee storyboard. I don't know which ones are lost but maybe I should upload these storyboards somewhere?

one thing people don't talk about are the custom FBI piracy warnings that were on the physical releases. a lot of shows had songs and characters appear on these screens but most don't appear online.
Really? Never in all my life have I ever seen a custom FBI piracy warning that had a character appear on the screen.
@@blackbearcj5819 I can literally tell you about one of them. The original Viz Video VHS releases of the anime Ranma 1/2 had customized segments of the English VA's speaking in character about how the tape they are watching is copyrighted and how they better not copy it, over still images of their characters. Most of these tapes are impossible to find now, or extremely rare and out of print, and none of the DVD's, Blu-Rays or other releases over the years contain them. This is unfortunate since a lot of the lines were different, depending on the character and some were mildly to hilariously funny.
@@blackbearcj5819 the dvd release for the homestarrunner toons/ strongbad emails all have custom made fbi warnings voiced by the characters! Usually when a show has custom intros you can rewatch them in the extras menu or hidden menus you navigate to with your remote.
you know you're a fan of lost media when you watch every single video this channel has ever uploaded multiple times...
There was an episode of Joey Bishop's sitcom in the early 60s that didn't air and is now lost. The reason for the disappearance of this particular episode is that it was filmed on November 15, 1963 and featured guest star Vaughan Meader. It had been scheduled to air in February of the following year, but since Meader's entire act involved his impersonation of President Kennedy, the network rightly decided not to show it and later announced that it had been destroyed.
Imagine your whole career being based on a goofing on a guy and he gets tragically killed.
There is a difference between “lost media” & “banned media”. Case in point, the Sesame Street episodes were banned & can be watched with the proper clearance from Sesame Works.
This is especially true when you consider that different locations can ban media for their own reasons. For instance, there are cartoons that are readily available here in America, but are banned in other countries such as China or Saudi Arabia for one reason or another.
I think "lost media" has become a catchall term for hard to find media, not just completely missing things.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 😞 you maybe 🤔 on to something there. I have also noticed that lately in videos. Also people don’t do enough research 🧐 before they release their videos. Especially if it is a small team of one or two people that create everything for their channel. Sometimes it is better to take an extra month or two before you release something, even if it’s past its primary target date. Better to have something excellent that you are still proud of ten/fifteen years from now than something that’s hot for only a couple of months at most.
Lost media means not available to the public
@@Jb-ik3pq that would be restricted 🚫 media not lost media
You think you could cover Top 10 found historic lost media?
That's Angela Rippon not Kelly Rippon for Top Gear.
Perhaps an episode about shows that were, or still are mostly lost? Like Monster By Mistake or David Spade's Sammy?
Oh also idk what type of episode it would fit in, but the topic of Wolfman Zapp is pretty interesting, and I'd love to see you talk about it.
Also the kids show The Goodnight Show with Nina and Star, which aired on Sprout from the mid 2000s to the 2010s! It was my childhood but there’s only 2 completely found episodes, with the vast majority being either partially lost or completely lost :(
I was today years old when I found out Comedy Central was originally the Comedy Channel. Damn I love this channel.
The original series of Top gear was presented by Angela Rippon, not Kelly Rippon
Was just about to comment with the same thing!
He’s a Yank - he wouldn’t know.
Just because someone’s American doesn’t mean they might not know. Guess he didn’t though
@@ChicagoMel23 I assume that their logic was that a person from country A may not know obscure pieces of information that are specific to country B, regardless of which specific countries happen to be A and B. I don't think they meant that people from the US generally don't know anything.
Trying to find the Get 'Em Tommy shorts Cartoon Network posted to their TH-cam channel in 2016 and then went private in 2018
I did a cursory google search and found this one on facebook (facebook.com/CartoonNetwork/videos/10154144818173372/)
Does that help at all?
@@luckyducky7819 Thanks but I actually already uploaded that one to my TH-cam channel
Here's a good one to do: Lost Pokemon Media in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the franchise.
There’s really not much is there? I mean aside from a few impossible to get DS shop titles and a few banned episodes that didn’t air in the US
The Porygon episode, the episode in the Safari Zone with guns, and then a bunch cancelled because of Earthquakes (you'd think a country with semi-frequent earthquakes would stop bothering with episodes about earthquakes, but here we are)
@@mariokarter13 none of those are really lost though, they arent even hard to find.
@@kidthorazine The wishcash episode is lost though
@@hannahmartin9705 yeah apparently there are 3 legit never aired episodes because of earthquakes. But the really well known older "lost" episodes are pretty easy to watch if you don't mind subtitles.

I'm happy to see the channel expanding beyond media for children. That stuff is very well-documented. Shifting focus away from this would truly make this channel "all things lost".
I always thought that lost media could be out there somewhere and the people either don’t know or it’s under a different name
Very well could be true, I remember I saw an episode of Pawn Stars where some dude had a Czars personal crafted sword that he thought was just some ceremonial dime a dozen thing
The E! Network had a show called "Wild On" hosted by Brooke Burke. There was an Episode "Wild On Japan". I never got to see it because my lame ass roommates didn't want to watch it. 20 years later, and I still wanna see it!
a video about lost public access shows would be interesting
Your videos rock, dude. I'm always so glad to see a new one pop up on my feed.
It is Angela Rippon who hosted Top Gear originally.
I'd love to see some lost musicals/stage shows! Since it doesn't rely on being filmed to be distributed, a lot of shows that don't get a lot of hype just... disappear! I'm sure there are some well-known ones.
35,000 subs is a lot, especially when you actually think about it! You're just going to keep getting more and more from here on out, and you deserve every SINGLE ONE of them dude. It's such a great channel you have here.
Next stop is 100k! You'll be there soon if you keep going!
9:05 That's ANGELA Rippon.
Liked the video because it began with my precious baby Crow T. Robot. Great video!
How about lost deleted scenes/takes from movies? (Eric Stoltz Back To The Future, original The Shining ending, etc.)
Or the theatrical Star Wars cuts
Maybe do lost media that almost no one talks about
Like hatsune miku paradise gate? It's on a video by dasaviors called wotaken 2. It starts at 6:19 and ends at 6:35.
Paul Thomas Anderson on Conan in the 2000s considering how big there fandoms are I am surprised that nobody talks about this lost interview
@@piepivotmonitor5986 the heck is that?
@@StumpyFunnel It's a song by hatsune miku. It seems very likely dasaviors or wotaken or whoever created the song. The video wotaken 2, like the rest of his videos is kind of NSFW. Remember, 6:19-6:35.
How about top 10 cancelled shows with unaired/lost episodes?
I didn't know any AOTS content was getting removed, from what I've seen more episodes have been uploaded to TH-cam than ever before
No Doctor Who? The quest to retrieve even a small part of the first two Doctors' now-destroyed lost episodes once the series started achieving a cult status is also a pretty interesting story to tell, with BBC staff having to go through every syndicating TV station across the old Commonwealth to see if someone had forgot to return their copy back at the time, them phoning all the way to Iran (only to be replied "What in the name of Allah are you talking about?") and a couple of reels being found in UK in the basement of a building that was then recently being repurposed as a Mormon church.
I really clicked thinking you were going to do a bunch I'd heard of before, but I was wrong! Well done! I'd love to see one exclusively on Reality TV. (In second grade my bff told me they couldn't air a season of Survivor because someone got eaten by a cheetah and I've been interested in "unairable things" ever since...)
Fun fact; the sesame documentary called 50 Years of Sunny Days, showed brief clips of the snuffy divorce episode. The documentary is on Hulu.
Here's a suggestion. How about lost british tv shows/episodes. Elizabeth, Michael, and Marlon from Urban Myths comes to mind.
There's a TON of legendary BBC shows that were lost to being recorded over for Wimbledon.... Even episodes of Dr. Who were lost to that I believe. I remember hearing there's an entire comedy sitcom that inspired the likes of Monty Python lost to being taped over for fucking tennis.

This means 26 out of 50 serials from 1960s Doctor Who, of the first two doctors, have missing episodes, a little over half of them, so that means 97 episodes in total are missing.
There is possible good news however, as it has been reported that a total of 17 of the 26 missing serials may exist in the Middle East, in their entirety. Assuming 17 serials were sent over there, they may not all be missing serials, but judging from the Government's reluctancy to return them due to wanting to use them as a "political bargaining tool", the possibility of them being missing serials is extremely high.
This show may not be well known but i don't care
The Mr. Men Show - the last episode
For those who don't know what this show is, this 2008 animated series is an adaptation of the books written by british autor Roger Hargreaves and aired on Cartoon Network in the US and Channel 5 Milkshake in the UK
Despite most of the US dub being available on TH-cam in HD uploaded by user "Thumpity Bump" there is one episode that doesnt have an HD version which ironically is the last episode of the show ever made
Pests was the last episode of the series made and the only recording of the episode on YT is in low quality
Although i believe the british dub of the episode is available in one of the compilations uploaded to the official Mr. Men Little Miss TH-cam channel
I loved The Mr. Men Show when I was younger.
@@rollui2746 it's a pretty good show
If you want to watch the episodes in HD with the US dub watch ThumpityBump
I loved reading the books, I never knew there was a show!
@@societyofcriminals Thanks for letting me know where to find the dub. It really brings back some nostalgic feelings.
The divorce of snuffy was actually released as part of the more adult oriented muppets dvd. It’s not hard to find but from I know the production numbers are still up meaning that it was never edited at all and it wasn’t ever finished as they planned a couple more segments extending the story.
Aye I found another channel like blameitonjorge. I can’t get enough of the lost media. Great channel!
Great episode - for the record, Wheel Of Fortune premiered in 1975, not 1965; there was an earlier show with the same title but it's not related to the current version. When you consider that it was almost cancelled twice due to marginally low ratings, in 1979 and again in 1980, well before the current nighttime edition started and became a huge hit, it's hard to believe it's still on the air. Also, I'd love to find out if one of the game show networks (GSN, Buzzr) could find and air the episodes of the two "lost/forgotten" hosts, Rolf Benirschke, who hosted the NBC daytime version after Pat Sajak left the show for his ill-fated late night CBS talk show until it was dropped by the network, and Bob Goen, who took over from Benirschke when it moved from NBC to CBS after the former cancelled it. Still, great episode - love your stuff, keep it coming! :-)
I really like your content, KEEP IT UP!
When I think of lost episodes, I think about Doctor Who. Like most contemporary BBC shows it has several lost episodes, but the most mourned loss is the First Doctor's regeneration episode.
Always a good day when I see a video from you in my subscriptions!
I knew it was a good call to subscribe early. Great job, man! I just wish I got to the name “Lost Media Mike” before you. lol
that was great , getting more comfident i thought you where jorge for a minute
Hey Mike, I love that you're making new videos very frequently. I'd just like to ask, is this because TH-cam is your full time job now? Or do you still have a 9-5? Anyway, keep up the good work!
Glad to see Mst3k getting recognized in 2021
I remember watching a Peanuts special where Charlie Brown finally *kicked* the bleeping football, but I haven't been able to find reference to it, anywhere. Would've aired sometime during the early 70s.
There was also a b&w live action Christmas special called "The Littlest Angel" that was my favorite special for 2 or 3 years, until it disappeared. It had some clever effects, considering the limits of 1960s television; & told an endearing story about a child shepherd in Biblical times who dies, visits his grieving parents as an invisible ghost; & while trying to be contained by more adult angels, learns that everyone's busy making gifts for the young king... The boy angel decides to give the baby Jesus *his* greatest treasure -- retrieved from his earthly bedroom!
No one's even heard of that show, except me.😢
Could we see a part two for this video? I also remember an unaired episode of Double Dare where one of the players broke their arm...
The kid lied and said he didn’t have a fragile bone condition but he did so he broke his arm but his dad was a lywr
@@sleepingonyourroof Wasn't it that the parents didn't know the kid had the condition?
@@emoscotchtape not what i heard

The American Wheel Of Fortune ain’t the only one with missing episodes - The Australian Version is also missing many too.
Great video! Well done research, I can’t believe you don’t have more subs!!!!
Neat video! (Though, personally, that Fear Facvtor stuff isn't exactly the most enjoyable note to end things on, on my opion.) Thanks for uploading!
I want to say about the South Park episode, they didn't gamble on Obama winning. They were ready to go if McCain had won too, they luckily found a lot of the placeholder speech they had was similar to Obama's actual speech. The episode wouldn't have been much different had McCain won.
Footage of Snuffy's Parents Get A Divorce existed on the Sesame Street Special on ABC!
Yay!! Another video about lost media!! :D
I think one thing that would be interesting to cover is lost fangames.
The 4Kids dub of the infamous "Electric Soldier Porygon" Pokémon episode was supposedly made but never aired.
I'm 99% sure that the voice actor for Brock at the time confirmed that they never even recorded an English dub of "Electric Soldier Porygorn".
correction wheel of Fortune began airing in 1975. also Thomas and Friends has a lost episode called the missing coach only some pictures exist of it
I think a video about pieces of lost media that will probably never see the light of day (such as the basement tapes) would be neat.
Another fantastic video, keep it up chief!
Another awesome video love the channel
How about lost media relating to horror movies?
I hope so!
And I really wanna see Dead End (1985) get mentioned
London After Midnight would be cool too.
All American Massacre man
Lost trailers or lost books?
I will share my knoledge of this show and give you a bonus entry
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic - original draft of "Spike at Your Service"
MLP does has it's fair share of lost media but this one is interesting to me
On November 10th, 2012, the series' third season premiered on The Hub.
And with it came an episode titled "Spike at your Service" in which Twilight Sparkle's assistant Spike becomes a servant to Applejack after she saves his life.
However, in earlier drafts of the episode, it was Rarity who had saved Spike's life instead of Applejack.
This version has been said by the show's writers to been a drastically different version of the final episode, with Rarity being written off as mean and unlikeable towards Spike.
Because of the mean-spirited tone, the episode was rewritten and retooled to feature Applejack in place of Rarity.
Showrunner Meghan McCarthy was the first to mention this version back in a 2013 Panel.
Additionally, writer Dave Polsky stated on Twitter that he has the original script to "Spike at your Service", but joked that it's stored away in a vault and shouldn't be opened until 100 years after his death.
This draft was scrapped due to the writters on the show thought Rarity was unlikeable towards Spike.
Aside from a few passing mentions, nothing from the Rarity version of the episode has surfaced or been seen by the public.
Halloween or 100,000 special should be darkest lost media.(i.e. full columbine tapes, grizzly man death, Steve Irwin’s death.)
I would love a TH-cam lost media video. It isn't as interesting as TV shows and movies but I'm kinda curious about some early deleted mr
Beast controversial videos and stuff like that
Good video! Could a future video be about lost memes I think it’s a nice idea
Great video! Also I think lost Cartoon Network media or lost Nickelodeon media would be cool
I'm a little surprised there was no mention of the Sesame Street episode featuring Margaret Hamilton that was banned, but I had NEVER heard of that divorce episode until now. Now I REALLY wanna see it because I'm truly curious with how badly the episode must've gone over. This was a really cool and nostalgic list, and I'm always glad to learn about more lost media!!
He mentioned it and showed the promotional stills from that episode. I also think it was discussed in more depth in a previous episode.
@@terinjokes Ahh, that's fair.
You should do either Nickelodeon lost media or internet lost media part 2
Maybe lost TH-cam media?
I've been on a kick of these videos lately and have become especially intrigued with the idea of "recent" lost media- mainly because the whole concept initially brings me back to a time when preservation wasn't taken for granted, the "old days". To hear about stuff from 2008, it's wild because that's comes from a time AFTER I conceivably could have been online.... searching for other lost media.
in 2009 i had a youtube series, it wasn't super big (many videos had 40k views back then), many of my viewers were young teens. I released 19 videos back then in my main series, I actually made 20. I have all 20, but they exist nowhere else on the internet because no one saved them. So I have lost media, that was never seen, and then lost media that many people grew up watching. I'm glad they aren't available now though because i find them embarrassing.
Rage Australia has never had a home media release due to copyright issues.
Most pre-1978 episodes of Countdown were wiped, which is a shame because it helped kickstart the careers of acts like AC/DC.
there’s another lost mst3k thing: they were going to make a cd-rom with 2 exclusive shorts, but the plans fell through. 1 of them was Assignment Venezuela, which was found & is one of the funniest shorts they’ve ever done. the lost one is Mylar: What’s It To You? I’ve read theories that the master tapes were accidentally auctioned off when mst3k was cancelled for good in 1999, & I feel like if somebody like Jim Mallon had it, they wouldve released it already. my theory is it’s sitting in some fan’s garage under a stack of props
There is a mistake at 10:09 that “Wheel of Fortune” premiered in 1975, not 1965. There was a pilot of “Wheel of Fortune” called “Shopper’s Bazaar” which was aired in 1973.
I dont know the details but I had a highschool teacher who was on Fear Factor but it never aired because it was like... a localized version? so he has one of the only copies.

Well can you do lost animated kid movies? Like an example can be the movie Daddy Im a zombie I cant find it anywhere that are also not really popular or known
Another great video!
sazae-san's "air it once and forget it" thing reminds me of how music producer lane 8 started the "this never happened" concept where show staff put recording-proof tape on phone cameras so the audience can enjoy the moment as it happens. he started it because he was tired of the constant use of phones in stadiums and such.
edit: and of course unus annus
Top Gear was hosted by Angela Rippon, (Kelly where did you get that?) she was a news reader for the BBC.
To an American "Rippon" can easily be mis-somethinged into "Rippa" and then it's easy to make the jump to Kelly Ripa.
top 5 lost youtube channels?
Don’t forget the fear factor episode “ Hee Haw “ just not broadcast in the USA
How 'bout Doctor Who? Several 1963-69 episodes have disappeared- including the one where William Hartnell turns into Patrick Troughton! (And Troughton's 2nd Doctor only has 5 complete stories!)
How about lost speeches or documentaries?
I found something you may be interested in. It’s YTV’s Squawk Box. It was a Canadian sketch comedy show aired in the mid 1990’s and so far, the opening as well as one episode has surfaced. I remember a show called A2O which was also on YTV and no episodes have surfaced online at all. I also remember 2 shorts on Discovery Kids Canada one had something to do with the weather and the other one, I remember seeing it, but don’t remember the same of it. Good suggestions for you for a Lost Media episode.
It's hard for Southpark to make a joke since everything since 2016 has been a joke.
Do a video on InuMiya! She made art from 1997-2001 and only 5 pieces of her art are available, 2 from MiyaArchive on SoFurry. When saving the media, Alexa Crawls corrupted all of the files except for a drawing on her link page which may or may not have lost media in it.
I still think lost Comics could be an interesting video and focus on more general sequential art related stuff, like the earliest known webcomic which is lost or the lost art of the guy who created the original human torch who burned all of his original art
Ironic.
The original human torch was burned? Nice
@@highadmiraljt5853 why nice?
1:33 I was there at the time but they didn't show any of the lost episodes. Not when I was there anyway. There was a small theater there but they were showing a clip of Jim Henson singing to his puppet chickens. I can't remember the song exactly. I don't have a video but I do have a picture of it. I doubt it was taken off of the public's eye since it was extremely innocent.
If they were showing one of these two cartoons at the time I would've recorded as much as I could.
I did get a lot of pictures of story boards but I'm not sure if any of them are also lost (or never made into) media, including a Wilkin's Coffee storyboard. I don't know which ones are lost but maybe I should upload these storyboards somewhere?
Shouldn't be allowed to take something down if the supposed "Rights owner" doesn't make it available.
You should do a video on lost deleted scenes from movies
