A couple months ago I made a thread for found media called Big Beit here. The show was the main draw for me from three VHS tapes I had on me, all derived from miscellaneous clips of NTSC broadcasts of Dish Network's Arabic channel package sometime in early 2003 (based on a frame in the second tape). Though Big Beit was the most significant presence on there with a whopping 15 episodes (and the aforementioned thread describes each episode's status in more detail), I suspect a large sum of the remaining footage is lost in some form but in writing the tapes description I could not identify everything.
I have uploaded the three tapes to archive.org which can be found here. The files are wmv so they cannot be previewed in browser but downloaded. I wrote a summary of each tape in the page description, which I will polish and update over time the more I learn. While a few of these are tweaks I can manage myself (e.g. identifying which episodes of Calimero or Tintin were dubbed), a good deal of this is unfamiliar to me.
The aspects of priority to me: filling in the gaps on all music videos, identifying the original anime dubbed as "My Adventures With Robots", and identifying the musical puppet show that appears a few times. Other shows I identified by title are ones I cannot seem to find online sans the music videos I could nail by name. I cannot find any reasonable information about the networks themselves online which I imagine is a hindrance in identifying half of the remaining footage, but I will try.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
