Inspired by the recently-discovered "Wicked Witch" episode of Sesame Street. Basically, the piece of long-lost footage that for you, would be like Christmas came early? For me, it would be the remaining 14 missing "Zyu2" monsters from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, basically, when Saban bought the rights to use Super Sentai footage to make Power Rangers, part of the deal allowed them to shoot new footage of the villains for American use (this is where the "magic wand, make my monster grow!" clip comes from). When the show became a hit, Fox ordered 20 more episodes, but Saban had exhausted most of the Zyuranger footage available. So he contacted Toei and they went on to film fight footage for 25 new monsters, which became known in the fandom as Zyu2. Using 15 of these monsters, they were able to complete the first season. For season 2, they would end up deciding to stripmine the mech footage from Zyuranger's successor, Dairanger. However, they still had footage of ten monsters that hadn't been used yet. So the beginning of season 2 would utilize those monsters, but the mech fights were spliced together from Zyu2 and Dairanger. Years later, this information became more common knowledge, thanks to the internet and, of course, rumors began to spread about what we missed on. For you see, a number of monsters did not appear to have zord fights, but there was evidence indicating otherwise. One of those fights was rumored to feature Zyuranger's "DaiSatan" altering one of the monsters. For nearly two decades, speculation was rampant, until Christmas 2013, when a notable fansite revealed they had long-sought-after footage of the "Bloom of Doom" and "Invenusable Flytrap" zord fights. In February 2014, that footage, along with uncut and unaltered footage of "Primator", "Octophantom" and "TurbanShell" was uploaded onto YouTube by former PR stunt coordinator Jeff Pruitt. While the rumors were proven false, it was crazy to see footage long-considered to be destroyed. Plus, the unedited fights were pretty damn cool in their own right. That December, four more monsters had their footage revealed, bringing the total to nine. But then, Pruitt went quiet on YouTube. He says he likely has the remaining footage in storage somewhere, but eight years later, it remains unseen. So what are some of your lost footage must-haves? (please don't include anything involving real-life death or injury. I want to keep this thread light and fun ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) )

Bret v. Perfect in Alaska.
Bret says it’s the best match they ever had. No cameras. Unless some industrious Alaskan snuck his Super 8 in.

Trouble with Tracy is an interesting case. Basically, the CTV needed to create more original Canadian content, and with no real budget or resources, ended up cutting a lot of corners to get the show made. It only lasted a single season... but they made 130 episodes in that time, and the show played in returns for a while. Because of the quantity over quality approach, this meant cheap and/or wobbly sets, no filming outside, use of a laugh track, no retakes, and most significantly, recycling 25-year-old radio comedy scripts for the stories.
Now the thing is, a lot of bad comedy out there comes from stale gags, shallow characters, forced punchlines, jokes based on stereotypes, or moments that are more to shock than amuse. However, you can still see them and recognize the attempts at humor, albeit ones that fall flat on their face.
With Trouble with Tracy though, the combination of outdated scripts, the rushed production, and the actors clearly having little time to develop any sense of delivery or timing with their scenes creates a sitcom where it's not bad jokes that don't work... but a series where it honestly impossible to see what the jokes are even supposed to be:
No other footage of it has popped up online (and there's rumors CTV wiped the entire series) but man I want to see more of it.

You think we'll ever see the full version of "201" the South Park episode?

For a while it was this adult swim cartoon of comic book nerds that chanted “ECW” at one point when a fight broke out. I thought i had dreamed it but I eventually found it. Some short run thing they tried at the time.

Any Honeymooners lost episode that is truly lost and hasn’t been seen since it’s original air date.
The Mike Douglas Show where Jackie Gleason and Shelia MacRae are guests November 1972.
The Colgate Comedy Hour that Jackie Gleason hosted September 1951.

Bret v. Perfect in Alaska. Bret says it’s the best match they ever had. No cameras. Unless some industrious Alaskan snuck his Super 8 in. Can something be considered "lost media" if it was never thought to be recorded in the first place? For a while it was this adult swim cartoon of comic book nerds that chanted “ECW” at one point when a fight broke out. I thought i had dreamed it but I eventually found it. Some short run thing they tried at the time. "Welcome to Eltingville". Adult Swim apparently wanted to make more episodes but the creator found making the pilot so difficult he didn't think he had it in him to do any more. I'm pretty sure it's on YouTube. Some Lost Media I would love to see recovered - - The Welcome Home, Animaniacs! special. - Les Aventures des Schtroumpfs, a 1961 black and white, French language animated Smurfs movie. - The 60's Filmation Metamorpho cartoon. I'm almost positive this doesn't actually exist, but I'm including it just in case. - Out to Lunch, a 70's crossover special between Sesame Street and The Electric Company.

I would love it if someone found a few more reels of Doctor Who from the Hartnell or Troughton eras.

Somehow duplicates of all the movies lost in the 1965 MGM fire were found.

Most of the big boxing matches of the closed circuit era. Sure plenty have been released being recorded on film, but I mean original broadcast video.

the version of KISS Meets The Phantom with Peter Criss's actual speaking voice kept in. He claims he did all the over dubbing for the film.
The 30 minute version of Helter Skelter where the audio of Ringo yelling "I CANT FEEL ME FINGERS!!" came from. The box set didnt include it.
Full band version of "Child Of Nature" 'Get Back' kind of gave it for like a minute, but somewhere there is a full band mix of that track, the white album box just gave us John's acoustic demo.
the 1996 Guns n' Roses album that Axl one day just told them "delete it" but the tracks wound up in a archive for reel to reel's.

Back when LOLTNA was still a thing, my white whale was the full Eric Young/Traci Brooks bikini contest, which at the time there were only small clips of. That was the one thing I'd always wanted to link there.
LOLTNA's been dead for years and the full segment's since been uploaded on Impact's Youtube channel.

Hmm, if we're talking footage and not lost games or anything, maybe the English dubbed version of ZZ Gundam.

It's ridiculous that they've dubbed like everything but ZZ. Absolutely it needs a new one. It should absolutely be a priority for every Gundam series to get official dubs, but doubly so for Universal Century entries.
