I think a good way to go is to see if any people you know taped the specific shows that it was after. Like, if you know someone who loved "The Berenstain Bears" from 2005-2006, they may have taped it, and got "My Special Book", which, along with "Grandpa's Garden" music videos, was the accompanying interstitial for the show at the time. I made a whole list. People's recordings are most likely our best bet. They always were. It's best to look for someone with that interest or who still has a VCR / old VHS tapes. Just some good advice. What do you think, guys? Because I've tried asking everyone I know.

Well, nobody in my close circles has a VCR but my mom has some VHS tapes. I can ask her if she has any Treehouse recordings (I know for a fact she recorded movies and such for me to watch). I'll update ASAP.

There's one thing that's quite peculiar. Whenever someone says they have it, we never hear from them again. Like, first off, that guy that scary8guypl mentioned on YouTube that randomly deleted his YouTube channel after stating he had hundreds of hours of Treehouse on VHS. Also, opy hasn't logged into his account since he made the comment saying he had a tape back in February. They both shut us out after saying they had it. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
The Treehouse hit squad don't want it to be found.
If you say that, they will ̸f̵i̵n̸d̷ ̸y̸o̵u̶!̷
We're at 23 pages now? Wow! What have we actually got so far?
Edit: readability
The thing that will get us to find it is to know EXACTLY who to talk to. We need to find people online with an interest in this sort of stuff within Canada. It's a tough process. Another method is that we'd just have to get lucky and someone else uploads it.

I don't mean to be rude but can we stop reiterating the number of the page that we're on because it's "so impressive?" It basically equates to a bump in disguise. So far we've accomplished very little outside of having an episode list and a single photo. The other 23 pages of this topic is pretty much all meta about the topic and it doesn't actually move the search forward. If there is nothing we can do right now, then let the topic wait a little while and come back to it when there's something to actually be done or you have a new idea to bring up. Otherwise it's just beating a dead horse.

It really looks like you haven't read the whole forum. People have been contacting people, trying to find information, and looking for info. In all seriousness, you are basically bumping this thread and you are the one beating the horse. heh.

I may have discovered something interesting. "My Special Book" was produced in 1998, but I don't think it actually premiered until sometime in Late 1999 or Early 2000. Remember, in that "YTV Ramps Up" article, it was from August 1998, it didn't necessarily say it was airing. It's possible it got delayed. I found this article that mentions YTV Jr. and only mentions the other 4 featured interstitial preschool shows from that post "Pet Squad", "Little Big Kid" (which I think would be awesome to start a thread on, since it's 100% lost, without even a picture), "The Fuzzpaws" and "Nanalan'". The article in question is from December 1998, so these shows were already on the air. See for yourself. playbackonline.ca/1998/11/02/23634-19981102/
I also found the YTV Jr. website from February 1998. It doesn't mention "My Special Book", but it does mention the other shows from the time, which include: - Blue's Clues - Bananas in Pyjamas - PJ Katie's Farm - The Big Comfy Couch - Once Upon a Hamster - The Fuzzpaws - Little Big Kid - Pet Squad - Nanalan'
I also know that bare-bones "My Special Book" page that @binzhou5 (I believe it was him) found was from around the same time as that YTV Jr. guide we found at the beginning of the search, which was in Mid 2000.
I can't really confirm anything I just said though, since YTV and Treehouse logs start in February 2000, and are in .arc format until September 2000. Also, I wasn't even alive at this point (I wasn't born until July 2001, and I didn't really start watching TV until Summer 2002).
