hopefully the source doesn't see this LMW thread. We could make a groupchat on instagram or discord for it to be private because if they see what we're doing and if they see what thedarkoneisrising did, then it's all over.
I don't think forum threads get that kind of attention, copyright strikes on the other hand do.
Awesome news man! Don't worry I totally get the need for being secretive, as I did the exact same thing once to get my hands on a really rare film called Blood Screams. The film starred a bunch of American actors but was made in Mexico and the only version I could find online was a Spanish dubbed version and I couldn't find the US VHS release anywhere, fortunately I found a place that was selling the English version on DVD-R, but the website was all "oh by buying this film on DVD-R you are saying that you actually own this film on tape already blah blah blah". I lied to them and said I did have it on tape because screw that gatekeeping bullshit(besides it's not like they weren't still committing copyright infringement just because they only wanted to sell to people that already had the films on tape already)i wasn't going to let that get in the way of me getting my hands on a rare film and felt zero guilt for doing so.
Though I was admittedly reluctant to upload the film online anyplace besides Cinemageddon because of where I got it from. But this thread has inspired me and it's been long enough since i've got the film that i'm feeling pretty good about posting it to Internet Archive. I'll just use handbrake to rip my DVD-R recording so that way it'll take out the menus identifying the site I got the film from on the off chance that one of them sees it.
This seems like an awesome find, you should totally share it 🙏
I wonder if this is the very first time anything from the unaired episodes have seen the light of day...?
Yeah as sheffieldvhs " said, they were apparently broadcasted on an RTL Germany station which is quite random I guess, as much as the Land TV episode. It still felt like such a privilege to be able to watch the episodes <3
Oh I do plan on sharing it later today.
It's actually pretty common for foreign TV stations to air unaired episodes of American sitcoms, I remember I got my hands on the unaired episodes for the short-lived WB sitcom "Run of the House" (thanks to an Ioffer bootleg set) and they all aired in Argentina.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got them! Well… almost x,)
I have received today, after months of back and forth with my source, the unaired episodes! I really was ecstatic since I've been waiting for them for weeks and kinda lost track of time.
Now the bad news is, due to a processing error, only two tapes out of three came out correct. I have received a copy of episode 4 instead of episode 7 which is a bummer but at least, I know it’s just a matter of time before getting that last one. I still got a timeframe of 4 to 6 week to receive it.
Now the worst news is, due to the source I’m using, I would have difficulties sharing the episodes for now before receiving the final one as I will be risking burning that bridge. I’m pretty sure sharing the episodes online is restricted due to the copyright and I’m afraid to burn that bridge in case the source is aware of the free sharing. I have approached the source under the premise that it would be for my personal use only. I don’t really care about the ethic of sharing it anyway but if it prevents the acquirement of the last episode, I feel like it’s a big risk to take.
I’m sharing some screenshots of the two episodes, I can share as many as requested.

You can see the quality of the videos through these. The sound is okay.
It would take some time to process, edit and upload some snippets. I will make all three episodes available as soon as I get the last one. The only reason I’m that secretive regarding the search is solely in the interest of the end result. I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
I can answer all questions (but please don’t ask about the source for now)
Amazing!!! So glad you were able to find them As for episode 7, are they going to send it to you along with the last one as well or do they not have it?

Episode 7 is the only one missing. I have recieved episode 6 and 8 along with episode 4 instead of 7. So, once I get this one, the sitcom will be found media!
