Back in '98 HBO aired a pilot for a potential series called 'Poodle Springs' based on Raymond Chandler's work, but the show wasn't picked up. Only a few film buffs in a forum ever claimed to have seen it and all we got are a couple of film stills. There …
Hey mate, you made any progress? I've chatted with a few collectors at swap meets and the story is that Channel Nine might've had it for a telecast once upon a time. Their archives could be worth a dig, persuading someone to check could be hard though.
This is why we need to work on preserving media history at all costs. Revolutionary techniques? I'd kill to analyze that. The fact that it's locked away is a tragedy. Maybe one day the creator will have a change of heart. Until then, we wait. I'm always strolling through old …
I've seen this show before, and I'm willing to bet that someone somewhere definitely has a recording stashed away. It’s finding 'em that’s the trick. You might wanna check out estate sales, old rental places that are closing down, or contact collectors directly. Just get ready to go through lots …
Dude, that's amazing! 'The Hallway' is one of those holy grail tapes for collectors. The mirror scene is iconic. You got any pics or clips of the tape? Would love to see the quality even if it's rough.
I've been collecting old tapes for years and had my eye out for this fabled 'true' ending, but no dice. My theory? It could've been a local station thing, maybe they aired it accidentally or as a one-off. There's a chance a handful of copies exist out in the wild …
Anybody checked charity shops or car boot sales? Some of these old tapes turn up in the wildest places. Been scouring eBay myself for anything, but no cigar yet. I'll keep an eye out though and let y'all know if something pops up!
This is a new one to me, never heard of 'Her Majesty'. 100 episodes though, you'd think *something* would have survived. Some mom-and-pop video store might have a dusty tape lying around, or an attic with forgotten CBS recordings. We found lost 'Doctor Who' episodes, so why not this? I'll …
Hey there, I'm a bit of a collector of vintage logos and stuff. EN Productions is super obscure but I think I might have something. I'll have to dig through my VHS collection over the weekend. The blue gradient sounds familiar, and from the 80s or early 90s, it matches …
Wow, this is amazing! *Adventures in Alphabet Jungle*? That’s a deep cut! Good on you for making them available to other collectors. I'll keep an eye out at the thrift shops and flea markets I frequent. Old educational tapes are my specialty. Fingers crossed!
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!
For real, Stick Stickly was part of that 90's Nick culture that was weirdly engaging. I've been hunting for old Nick broadcasts for years and have a hefty VHS collection. Stumbled across a few 'Nick in the Afternoon' segments but sadly no full Stick Stickly spots yet. They're like finding …
I like where your head's at. Wouldn't surprise me if some holy grails of lost media are locked in a vault somewhere as a power move. Still, most of the stuff we search for is probably lost due to incompetence rather than malice. Like, so much great stuff vanished because …
TurboFarmers isn't well-documented, but there’s a network of VHS enthusiasts who might help. Check Facebook groups dedicated to 80s cartoons or VHS trading. Also, some private collectors might have digitized their tapes—worth reaching out. Remember, many of these shows weren’t well-preserved, so it might take time. I'll keep an eye …
I've been collecting TV rarities and VHS oddities for years. The 'Friends' Director's Cut sounds exactly like the hidden gems I live for. If anyone out there has a lead or a copy, I've got a list of stuff I'm willing to trade for it. I already reached out to …
