Back in 2016-2017, I downloaded the first 32 episodes of the edited Dragon Ball Z Kai that aired on Nicktoons. My old laptop stopped working in 2018. Those were all on it. Me not knowing those were lost/very rare didn't bother to save it. I might still have that laptop but even if I do find it, I'd be lucky if it worked well enough to put in on a hard drive or something like that. Also might have had a few episodes of what I like to call the DigitalZombie dub of Dragon Ball Super. It was a high endish fandub of DBS with a team putting it together and not just a few people. That went missing around the time that the Funimation dub of DBS came out and everyone forgot about it. The one episode of the DBZKai Nicktoons edit I could find was this one: www.dailymotion.com/video/x703lj6 The one episode of the DigitalZombie dub I could find: drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MDMTfJryMELTRoNFhSU1U0dGc/view
I have a hard drive reader. If you have the laptop I can pull the drive from it and get the files copied

I have every single episode of Bioman English dubbed- I don't know if that's lost or not, I have 16 episodes of space cats. I also have the English dubbed Digimon movies 3 through 8. I have every episode of Flashman English dubbed, as well as 14 episodes of Cybercop. I have a lot more than that too.

Not so much used to have, but I am DAMN certain that Chuckles the Clown call in thing is either on a VHS i have today or once was. The only issue is that I have two rooms filled with VHS tapes so going through them all would take years, at minimum. I was doing so, but job requirements sidetrackd that twice. I would bet money I have it though, the weird stop motion clown and the kid hopping on a bed, are vivid memories because I remember watching the video on replay as a kid...
(TMI, but I'm a Fury and I had a hopeless childhood crush on Brittany the Chipette)
...so I'm almost certain that was the tape. Now the issue is finding it since I have OCD and I recorded basically everything on TV during a two decade period.
The entire run of the Canadian English version of Astroboy. I needed tape time for other shows though back in 1985, so I recorded over just about all the episodes. When you only made the minimum wage back when tapes cost $20 a pop, well, you get conservative on what to keep. Now its considered lost. If the show was that popular though you would have thought someone else would have recorded it. I say almost all as I found and transferred a couple episodes last week and gave them to a contact to be preserved someplace. But these days there is only so much time to do anything like search through tapes that still play at all and have no title cards or dates. And then there are things like audio cassette tapes or reel to reel tapes to check and IF any of my equipment still works well enough to transfer them. I still have U-matic tapes that I never checked after getting a working recorder some months back. Someone here mentioned the Rainbowman anime. I ran off a whole whack of those for a friend some months back as between that and Lensman, he could never find them. I hope they were of some use to him. But there are still hundreds of tapes to do and only the weekend to do anything what with them actually increasing my hours at work. Time to get back at it...

Years ago, I recorded the opening titles and end credits from the English dub of Chimpui by pointing my digital camera at the tv. However, my attempt at recording the opening titles got interrupted by the tv having a momentary blip, and the end credits got covered up by a truck going past. I tried again, but this time holding the digital camera close to the speakers in order to record the sound (I prioritised getting the audio over visual). I deleted my first takes, meaning I lost a Disney Channel Asia ident from that era (IIRC it featured some cyclists) although I don't know what the lost/found status of those are, an eyecatch featuring Darusa (who's name was pronounced Terusa rather than Daroosaa) and video of the opening and ending titles. Then again, the opening titles probably don't count as lost media because it was just the Japanese opening but textless (and with English lyrics). The ending was textless as well (none of the cast was credited) with the only text being a sign at the end that said "Produced by Shin-Ei Animation", like on the Korean dub, only in the middle of the screen rather than the corner. I still have the second recordings on my computer and you've probably heard them on the Internet.
I used to have the series finale of Star Trek Voyager on videotape. While Voyager is definitely not lost, the episode was taped from when it aired on the BBC. When the BBC aired season 7, they edited the titles to have Captain Janeway's credit in the middle and Commander Chakotay's credit on the right (they're the other way round normally). I didn't realise the BBC had made such an edit until I saw season 7 of Voyager again years later, this time on Virgin 1 (RIP). So I now no longer have a copy of the BBC's edited titles.

Sorry, I’m not quite sure if I follow. Did you once own episodes of Rainbowman? Care to give any more details?
My family actually has a few of the lost episodes of Teamo Supremo on VHS, I just wish I could find a way to get them off the tapes; I'm not very well-versed in that lol

If it's the animated one you are after, yes. These were recorded from Japanese TV when they aired in the 1980s. For whatever reason, they were never released. I did transfer 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 19, 20 and 22. I had a few more but the tapes no longer play after this long a period of time. At the moment, I'm trying to archive as much of the old broadcast audio from many Toei series as I can as well as many oddball shows and specials. Lots of stuff such as interviews were transmitted and then destroyed. But trying to get stuff out of Japanese fans who may have recorded things is far more difficult than it was in the 1980s. In many cases, they simply won't respond to requests from foreigners anymore. I was also dabbling with tape baking to see if that would help tapes that don't play but so far, all efforts have been failures. Still lots of old tapes from Japan, Canada, USA and the UK need to be looked at to see what is on them. So little time...

This is a very interesting thread. Honestly, it's kind of sad to see that all these things were lost, sold, thrown away, and now they are pieces of lost media.

Thank you for answering my question. Have you uploaded any of your digitized recordings online?

I didn't know where else to put this but here we go. My grandmother has kept a lot of vhs tapes from the 90s and 2000s. She claims that she recorded the 9/11 broadcast back in the day. I have no idea if it was a channel like fox news, or maybe it was a local channel. This would be from the maine area. (The state) it may not be lost but still. Btw, she still has the original 9/11 tv guide in near mint condition. I'm still looking for this tape.

Another piece of possibly lost media. Found this on an old tape. It's the teddy grahams "teddy rescue" 2001 commercial showing blues clues teddy grahams at the end. All the ones on YouTube show chocolate crackers and rugrats crackers at the end. There is a picture online, but I do have the full thing on tape.
