While looking at the Wikipedia article for this show, I noticed there are a few segments that are not mentioned, most notably Spongebob Shout out (Where viewers could call in and give a shout out to anyone before an episode of Spongebob would start), It Came From The Message Board (Where Brent and Candace would answer questions on the Nick message board), and Head To Head (Where viewers would vote on which Nick show was their favorite).
After doing some (very) light research, I only found one Head To Head segment and a clip mentioning Spongebob Shout Out. If these are considered lost, or hard to find, I have a VHS tape with a lot of Spongebob Shout Out segments, 3 It Came From The Message Board segments, and 1 Head To Head segment (it, unfortunately, cuts out last minute due to poor preservation). I have the tape ripped and archived, I just want to know if I should pull those from the video and upload them separately.
I'd upload them somewhere online, I'm pretty sure U-Pick Live never got any kind of release so people watch what they can get. Although a lot of videos I've seen edit out the actual shows that are picked and keep everything else (probably so the video doesn't get taken down).
I imagine a great deal of U-Pick Live is lost due to its being (much like JBVO) the sort of thing that aired only once. Any material you could make available I'm sure would be appreciated by its fans. Back in 2004 I taped the entire Fairly OddParents Big Superhero Wish marathon which included U-Pick Live segments. I digitized and sent it to archivists a few years ago to upload on YouTube where it can be viewed now.
I'll try to pull the U-Pick Live clips. I don't know when though since it's in .MKV, would it be against TOS if I put the MEGA link here that has the 5-hour tape (It's not all U-Pick, it's mainly SpongeBob oriented, but there's a good chunk that's U-Pick)?

You can do that. Why would it be against the rules? I also suggest putting it on Archive.org

It's not perfect (the audio has some reverb), but it's the best I could do at the time. I tried to put it on archive.org, but I believe the file was too big.

Okay, just keep the file on your device so it doesn't become lost again
I was skimming through the tape and found a segment that features a character that I don't think was talked about in the Wikipedia article. That character's name is Professor C. Thomas Pickens (U-Pick Live's resident genius). To my surprise, it was actually pretty funny. Please excuse the awful cinematography, I recorded it off of a portable VCR on my lap.
