Hey all!
I stumbled upon a 16mm film scan of some TV show called "KnowZone". At first, I thought it wasn't anything special, but because I wanted to see if it was readily available to watch, I looked the show up online.
I couldn't really find anything, but I instead found an educational show from Kenya under the same name. I was a bit perplexed, and at that same time, I wondered "Why is this 16mm scan the only thing about this show I could find?" Things only got more interesting the further I delved...
In light of that, I found TV listings for the show, supposed archives on the WBGH website, a Los Angeles Times article dated 1987, and literal prints of one of the damn episodes in a eBay listing of all things, as well as prints of David Morse, the show's host. All that and not a SINGLE episode survived. You can't even watch the episodes on the WBGH website, despite episode data being clearly listed.
Bro, I know it's silly to get worked up over some forgotten educational show, but I just can't stop thinking about it for some reason. Is anyone else aware of this show? Does anyone have any idea on where the episodes are, or has someone potentially recorded them from when they aired?
