Yes, I said it. At this rate, I can't find the lost PBS Kids bumpers that are sought after by many. Especially the bear at the campfire and the boy with the boombox. I have asked TONS of people, yet no one remembers them. I am also trying to find Pokemon LIVE!, but that's not being found either. I'm just glad Electric Piper was found.

I'll check myspleen for you if you haven't yourself already.
One- bumpers are really hard to find, and realistically, there are probably hundreds of missing bumpers that are reduced to a tape in someone's attic. So with that area of search comes some frustration.
Two- Pokemon Live actually has some leads and we have made some kind of progress even if it's not huge leaps. So with continue effort I'm sure we can find more than we have now.
And at the end of the day I have to go back to A Day With SpongeBob as an example of something that wouldn't have been found without persistence.
As for a more relevant example, back in February I made a video about some lost 24 karat gold Game Boy Advance SP systems, and it took months of the video just sitting there for people to come forward with pictures and proof that they exist. And just last week someone gave me some amazing in-hand pictures of it from their own collection, which I never thought we'd see back when I made the video.
So all things considered while you can't find what you're looking for as soon as you'd maybe like, definitely don't give up altogether.
I'll tell you what: lost media is a great hobby, but sometimes there's only so much we can do, and a lot of it is waiting, and you know what Tom Petty said.
I would imagine out of all the shows that these bumpers aired on the biggest would be Sesame Street, so I would suggest going to MuppetCentral - ask people if they recorded early-2000s episodes (there is an episode trading section).
