I think it's time to start going through my old childhood VHS tapes to see if there's any potentially lost media in them, since I'm sure there's probably a lot...the only bad thing is...when I was a young teen, I recorded Family Guy on some of them for whatever reason...here's to being depressed with 14 year old me about how many of these have Family Guy literally erasing history on them.
Regardless, a lot of them should have a lot of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, and MAYBE some Disney Channel stuff from....approximately 1998 to say....2008. Don't expect many obscure shows from it though; I had my parents record marathons of Dexter's Lab on them, along with other shows I liked. I'm sure there has to be a Time Squad and/or Sheep in the Big City marathon or two on them, for obscurer shows that may be on them. Any episodes of these I should take a look for?
Also, my only method of uploading these to the Internet will be a 3DS video camera. I don't own a (conventional) phone, and I don't feel like buying a TV capture device, unless someone feels inclined to let me have/borrow one, if I happen to make a major find.
So, I'll keep you guys updated. I'll be keeping a log of what's on everything. I occasionally may have other stuff from other things I found interesting back then too (like the shitty Family Guy stuff, etc.). I'll log everything I find on them, and hopefully, you guys can tell me what's potentially lost in them! ^^
Hmm, probs not, but there's a possibility we could have recorded something during my REALLY early years for some reason. But without further ado, here are the contents of my first of...many tapes. IDEK how many I have. This could honestly take weeks. Shcokingly, I had some 2011 stuff on this one, along with G4 stuff I didn't even know I had...without further ado...
CONTENTS OF TAPE #1: Clips of various floats and balloons of 2011 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Miss Piggy and Kermit short interview with announcer Power Rangers Samurai performance Santa at the end
3 or 4 episodes of Pokemon BW, the Meowth Arc (one of the only good parts of BW tbh, including the Purrloin episode, which became AMAZING due to the ending) Victini + Reshiram movie Flicks commercials for above movie. Flicks intro, and re-intros/outros, or whatever they're called (and my god, that was the cringiest part of this tape by far)
Level Up show preview commercial Adventure Time Holiday Special commercial TruMoo commercial Adv. of Tintin commercial Darren Rogers State Farm commercial Ziggteck commercial Regular Show commercial Orajel commercial Kung Fu Panda 2 commercial Goldfish commercial Rossland Capital Gold Investors (the acting was unintentionally funny and stiff) Hall of Game commercial (aka part of CN's beginning of their demise) Mr. Popper's Penguins DVD commercial Domino's commercial Ninjago series premiere commercial Nerf Vortex commercial Lego Kingdoms commercial Alvin and the Chipmunks commercial State Farm Jerry commercial Chuck E. Cheese commercial Transformers Kreo commercial
House of Anubis episode! <3 Puss in Boots commercial Cambell's Soup commercial Trix + color changing spoons commercial Trix + Star Wars pens commercial John Carter commercial Transformers Rescue Bots commercial Lego Dino commercial Lorax commercial (if only that movie was lost ) Pre-Flo Progressive commercial Barbie DVD commercial Trix Silly Swirlers commercial
Jellyfish Hunter Spongebob episode (yeah, no way that's lost, but it was on the tape, so whatev.) Mirror Mirror movie commercial Cocoa Pebbles Claymation commercial Old Netflix commercial Madonna World Tour commercial Gogurt + Star Wars Episode 1 3D promo commercial Fur Reaal Bunnies commercial Puffs commercial
Obviously not all of these will be lost, but everything on these will be chronicled, in hopes that others who know what's lost and what isn't can tell me what needs preserved.
Also, please let me know if I should really be jotting down all of these commercials, as if there aren't any that are lost from this time period, I REALLY don't want to have to jot these all down...
Will do! It's best to just keep checking this thread though, as you may never know what I may find from these...
Now THIS is more like what I remembered!! Tape #2 contains the following, from the year 2000, I'd assume:
Tom and Jerry Slamfest and all transitions (most of the tape was the Tom and Jerry marathon) Nature Series #27 Tom and Jerry commercial Shorties - When Animals Nap: Yogi Bear Double D hosting Cartoon Cartoon Fridays commercial (2nd time he did it?) Groovies - Mars Forever Harvey Birdman transition Go Ask Cartoon Network Dexter singing the Flinstone theme song in an 8 second long commercial
Cartoon Network Gag Warehouse commercial Ronald and Me: Dino hunting and Stargazing, two different The Tigger Movie toy promos Danimals commercial Honey Nut Cheerios commercial Pringles commercial Sheep in the Big City series announcement premiere commercial Toonami Intruder commercial - sponsored by Mario Tennis (great game if you've never played it, I've ironically been trying to beat it for a bit just a couple weeks ago! ) mamamedia.com commercial PPG new episode commercial Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat VHS commercial Blopens commercial Coooooooooooookie Crisp commercial Fruit Roll Ups commercial w/ N64 promo cnn.com e-mail service commercial (because that's all they ever became known for) Cartoon Cartoon Summer commercial Cheese Nips commercial Cow and Chicken Super Chunks commercial Mickey Mouse's Fruit Roll-Ups commercial Illum-a-Sketch commercial Cyber Crusaders BK toys commercial Chester Cheeto commercial State Quarters commercial Cocoa Puffs commercial that gave a shout out to Hershey's, surprisingly Pull-Ups commercial How Micke Burke eats a Reese's Puff Hot Wheel Fruit Snacks commercial (it's pretty much the 90s - everything needs a fruit snack.) 100 Greatest Kids Songs commercial (I HATED this commercial as a kid!!! I still hated it, though not quite as much as 5 year old me, I'm sure...) McCall magazine commercial Pokemon TCG Gym Heroes TCG commercial (....IDK how TPCi approved this one. Humpty Dumpty made an appearence, for god's sake...) Pokemon League commercial (I'm the president of our campus's League...I'm convinced I still mentally live in the 90s...which isn't a bad thing at all! ^^ ) Folgers commercial Old Navy commercial Fib Finder commercial Texico Animals commercial Head and Shoulders Refresh commercial Cartoon Cartoon week nights commercial Dinosaur PS1 commercial
At least, this time. Two more tapes were checked, sadly more recent/random stuff that's probably in no way lost. For these ones, I'm not going to bother with commercials, as I doubt they aren't close to being lost or very interesting.
Also, I've linked my FB account on my profile, if you ever want to get in contact with me, since I'm on there much more than here.
Tape #3: Lego Lord of the Rings short (probs like a minute long, but I think I missed out on a bit of the beginning) Anderson Interview with Miss Piggy HLN/CNN/Fox News coverage of the shooting at the premiere of 'Batman The Dark Knight Rises'. (Why I dedicated so much tape to this is anyone's guess, but if you want an archive of this event, it contains interviews with people there, and various 911 calls from that night too. It's kind of refreshing to hear about a massacre not be linked to terrorism, tbh.) The complete arc of episodes of Yugi's final duel with Atem in classic Yu-gi-oh SS Goku's fight with Frieza AFV episodes A London 2012 performance of a South Korean rhythmic gymnastic athlete (she was cute I swear I'm not weird) Various Patchy segments Family Guy episode FHFIM episode Cartoon Planet shorts (pretty sure those aren't lost, but trust me, I have all of them recorded.
Tape #4: Almost all of it is House of Anubis episodes. Seeing all of them in fast forwarded form made me remember I've been meaning to watch Season 1 for ages now, and see if the 3rd season ever happened... 5 minutes of an episode of Yu-gi-oh, for some reason An iCarly episode ...and weirdest of all, an episode of How to Rock. I swear, I've never actually watched this one...

^ As stated before, I will not be posting full quality rips due to not owning a capture card, unless someone is willing to lend me/donate one. I will very happily record lower-quality proof that everything does at least exist, however, if anyone wants it. Also, contact me on FB for speciffic requests, but friend me first, or I may never see your messages because of how FB manages messages like that. Now, onto Tape #5. It could be one of the best gold mines, potentially...
Ahsoka Tano Clone Wars commercial (she narrates most of it) Some Clone Commander dude's (I don't remember his name right off, but it's not Captain Rex. He wore an orange visor on his helmet) narration of a Clone Wars commercial
Star Star Starsdays (all transitions, including opening)
Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka's voice) segment, before a movie started I think
Thumb Wars (erm...I think I have like 60% of it at least. I didn't record the ending part for some reason. Hopefully that's not lost, the comedy was pretty good, for whatever this was...)
Selina Gomez wand animation(!) (I recognized her at the age she was at the very very beginning of Wizards of Waverly Place) (Also, it's not the best quality. I only got like a second or two of it. I probably wouldn't have even bothered if I didn't think she was cute tbh.)
Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace (all of it, thankfully not another Thumb Wars incident.)
Toonin' to Doofin' Phineas and Ferb episodes (...that has to be rare. I only have two episodes though, and sadly enough, the picture went out for like 30 seconds of one of them, though the audio continued.)
a couple Lego Star Wars commercials some Clone Wars commercial with Droidekas on a soccer field. Batman Gotham Knight commercial (I'm 99% sure that entire movie will be on a future tape.) Speeders episode Speeders Fight Back episode erm...some other Tru TV comedy show Part of an older Planet's Funniest Animals episode 1st 3 original Thundercats episodes 1st new Thundercats episode (talk about a remake that did EVERYTHING right, but still got hated for some reason...back before CN switched those concepts around, for the worse. I for one, loved it, but I didn't grow up, or even hear of Thundercats until the remake was announced...) 2 Stupid Dogs - Love Secret Squirrel - Quirk (some got cut off at the end.) Spongebob Halloween special iCarly Halloween special (end got cut off, but I think I have most of it?)
Well, surely something in this one is lost, especially the Selena Gomez thing...

Less eventful, but also full of self-nostalgia, I present Tape #6:
Live Action Finn (from Adventure Time) series premiere commercial (some obnoxious kid repeats things from the first few episodes)
Brief Chowder 'next' Nood (that's what the white things are called, right?)
Pokemon the Movie 2000 with Pikachu short
ABC Kids MM Power Rangers transitions (not that noteworthy and very cut-and-paste, but they're there, if anyone's interested)
One MM Power Rangers episode....er...most of it.
Good Burger (entire movie, not that it's probably lost in any way)
Groundhog Day 2010 PCN coverage (about 40 minutes worth of coverage of that day's celebrations, straight from the cable network of the state it happens in, if there happens to be any Groundhog aficionados out there...)
Bob Saget AFV $100,00 grand prize episode (full)
Pokemon episode: Hello Pummelo
And some weird things of some channels that were stuck on repeat due to some glitch that happened with ouur TV service late one night. The most notable was of Chester Cheeto giving a massage to a lady with what sounds like 'good bye babe', repeating ad infinitum. Creepy, but probably just exclusive to our cable that night. Funny nonetheless.
Also, after reading the Lost Media Wiki this afternoon, I realized that one of the lost Cartoon Planet skits was on a previous tape I have chroniclized already: where Brak imitates a chicken having an egg? I do have that entire skit in nice quality. So, I have found at least two things now that are 100% otherwise lost, with that and the Selena Gomez thing, along with whatever else is lost from that Star Wars tape, of which I haven't researched yet. With only a tiny portion of my tapes having been gone through now, I'm sure there will be more, such as a Kidz Bop parody featuring Schnitzel from Chowder, which I've saw a whopping one time ever, which I amazingly got recorded. That'll come up eventually, I'm sure...
various noods (I'm going to have to have you guys tell me which of these are lost, etc. I have Scooby Doo from the Where Have You Been marathon, probs my rarest of these so far...)
Neopets commercial that was basically about Viacom's new merch they were pumping out - according to a quick Youtube search, this commercial seems lost.
lots of tropical storm Fay coverage (I...IDEK why I recorded so much about this. I live nowhere near Florida, nor did I know anyone who lived there back then. But it did rain for awhile I guess, and...I like rain??) Dr. Sanjay Gupta report on a Tiger Woods injury (again, IDEK) A couple Genie Mose reports (the only news reporter we should still can respect today) Fox News coverage of...wait for it...a large shark gathering, and Lego Olympics. No, really. Erm...lots of K-Pop music videos that are readily available on Youtube (So...our onDemand service had these for free a few years ago, so I guess I decided to record them. I guess I'm prepared if YT ever goes down somehow...they're various videos by SNSD, 2NE1, and 4Minute, if you're wondering.) Star Wars Bobbleheads Happy Meal commercial (those had to be the dumbest ideas ever, but they're still better than a lot of the non-Nintendo McD toys of today, sadly...) early Family Guy episodes various clips from Chowder The Principal's Office episode (tru tv show) Lego Mars Mission commercial Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow 2010 Olymic marathon runners (...yeah, really not sure why I had that) You're beutious - Flapjack song a tiny amount of footage from a Disney Channel game show, probably not worth your time tbh. Boat Smarts Spongebob segment
