FOUND: Episodes of 'Journey Beneath the Sea'

Sometimes dumpster diving at flea markets does pay off! Found five VHS tapes with recordings of 'Journey Beneath the Sea', that enigmatic, mid-80s show about an underwater explorers' club. It was as educational as it was mesmerizing, with each episode covering different ocean myths and marine biology facts. I'm planning to digitize these tapes. Fingers crossed they play well after all these years!

Hey, that's pretty cool. My parents said that show was the bomb back in the day. Good luck getting those tapes to work, hope they aren't all moldy and stuff.

What a fantastic educational tool 'Journey Beneath the Sea' was. It brought marine science into living rooms in a way that was ahead of its time. It's fantastic that you've recovered these episodes—could be a huge win for marine education nostalgics. If you're going to share them online after digitization, I'm sure there'd be a solid following!

Nice find! When you digitize, remember to clean the tapes and the VCR heads. It'll go a long way in preserving the content. Also, use a high-quality converter to avoid losing too much data. If you're using a computer, I suggest a lossless codec. Great rescue btw!

As someone who's spent more time below the waves than above, 'Journey Beneath the Sea' was more than a show, it was an inspiration. The excitement of unraveling those ocean myths while sneaking in some legit marine science—pure genius. You've found a treasure trove there; digitizing them is the best thing you can do. Share the love for the deep blue with others. And hey, if you need any tips on ocean facts to compare with the show's content, I'm your guy.

This is amazing! Remember watching glimpses of that show as a kid. Couldn't find it anywhere, no reruns, no DVDs, nada. Can't wait to dive back into that underwater world!

Woah, you struck gold! 'Journey Beneath the Sea' was one of those shows that sparked my love for the ocean. Those tapes might hold some awesome info that's actually hard to come by today. Considering the age, it's possible the tape quality could vary, so maybe check out some local audiovisual restoration services if you hit any snags. Super excited to see the results!
