I used to have one of the missing episodes of season 1 of ZOOM. I’d had it taped shortly before season 2 premiered and I assumed season 1 would never be shown again, so I watched it a lot. But some months later, it started airing again, and I forgot about the recording.
Some years later, I got back into watching ZOOM. I’d been watching season 6 (the most recent), then season 4, and was on 3 when I decided to revisit my old tapes from when season 2 was premiering. Unfortunately, before I’d started rewatching the show, I’d let my dad use one of the old tapes to tape something I was wanting to watch on. I’d known it wasn’t a good idea at the time, since I saw the first thing was the credits of a “Kratts’ Creatures” episode (it was the show before ZOOM), and remembered the tape that started with that was an important one to me. And unfortunately, as I discovered too late, it was the one season 1 episode in my collection.
So I figured I’d have to wait until season one was shown on TV again to see it again. Except it was never shown again. Ever. It or season 2. It was years before I finally got to see the second season in it’s entirety again, and even now, 29 episodes of the first season are at large. There’s a bunch of individual segments from them that have been uploaded, but the episodes in their entirety are missing, and there are still many segments that aren’t available at all.
I might have also had one of the lost Out of the Box episodes, since my parents taped several episodes when the show was pretty new, if not still premiering it’s first season. I might have also had the lost Little Bear episode as well since my mom taped that show a lot. The ZOOM episode is the only one I’m positive I had, though.
