The Jake Roberts DDT on Hogan which happened on the Snake Pit, and according to Jake lead to “DDT” chants. I think it aired in some local market but it’s amazing that after all these years it’s never surfaced. Always wanted to see that. Think it was said that the Providence market got it. Maybe another...I need to recheck. So that's a hint.

Kenny Lauderdale talks about a lot of obscure anime history in general, but his most recent video fits for this thread. Seems the business of saving lost media can sometimes be very interesting, but also fraught with difficulties. Fortunately, some of the film stuff mentioned in this thread is going to be stored in better conditions than is often the case in Japan, due to their humidity and other factors, but still, the clock is ticking.

I want to hear all of Chris Farley's dialogue he recorded for Shrek edited together with the final audio tracks from the rest of the cast and synced up with the final version of the movie (and / or storyboard footage). I know some of Chris' audio leaked a few years ago but I want to hear everything. In the same vein, Mike Myers's original recordings for Shrek. Myers originally recorded the entire movie with his natural voice. But wasn't happy with how it turned out. He used his pull to re-record the entire movie with his Scottish accent because he thought it would be funnier. And here we are. Bits and pieces of Myers's original recording has appeared on-line. But not the full film version. I'm not saying it would be any better, but it'd be interesting to hear what could have been.

I’d like to see what pictures the Babushka lady took during the Kennedy Assassination. Got a feeling that’ll never happen.

I got another one...
Apparently Press Your Luck had a 900 number game you could play, when the show was being rerun on USA. There was a commercial for it with the Whammy (of course) and Rod Roddy, one of the old PYL sites described it/had the dialogue from the ad. But the actual ad I have yet to see online.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I think I might be in possession of a piece of lost media and I wasn't really sure where else to turn and didn't think it warranted creating a new thread from scratch for it.
I was lurking on the Lost Media Wiki forums, and in one thread someone said that, outside of one episode and a couple of clips, the early WB Network sitcom Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher was considered lost. I have a VHS tape though featuring the entirety of a different, season two episode. I've been trying to register on that board to get more information, but my request is still pending and I don't really know how long it will take. I was curious to know is anybody on this board might know anything about it? Or how to make lost media available? I've never converted a VHS recording to a digital file for upload before so I'm not really sure what to do.

From a 1996 Wrestling Observer:
"In the most 90s news note of the issue, the highlight of a NWA show on 9/7 was Iron Sheik doing the Macarena."

You could either send the tape into some sort of video to digital service or you could buy a capture device, hook a VCR up to it and record it yourself.
This article shows ways to do it:
I remember watching Nick Freno when I was a kid. I never knew the show became lost.
Interestingly, I saw a video about lost DVDs of Dexter's Lab. Apparently, Season 2 was never released on DVD, but I own 4 pieces of a DVD set called "Dexter's Laboratory: Collector's Edition" that I got from a thrift store a few years back. They have episodes from seasons 1 and 2 and they're in order with their airdates listed.
I wonder...

I guess it depends on your definition of "lost". It's not lost as in it doesn't exist anymore, like those old Doctor Who episodes, it's more just unavailable. I'm sure master tapes of it exist in a vault somewhere at Warner Brothers. Then again with the way Zaslav has acted since the Discovery merger it wouldn't terribly surprise me if he just decided to chuck them on the fire for funsies. But obviously nobody ever thought it was worth enough to get a home video or streaming release, and it doesn't seem anybody at home though to record the series for posterity and post them online. I ordered a digital capture device from Amazon, should arrive by the end of the week. I've been trying to put it off because the device everybody recommends costs around $85. There are significantly cheaper ones offered for sale, but just about every review I can find for them online says they're junk and probably won't work. $85 is a lot of money to spend just to give the world an episode of Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher.

That's kinda what I meant. I never knew no one bothered to upload any episode. Not even as Youtube filler.

I would love to know the origin of a song played on first season Matlock episodes and early episodes of the color Perry Mason shows. It was a song with the lyrics "you hate goodbyes" and almost always played in a bar scene. I was able to find out it was sung by Kathryn Lasky and I'm guessing the song was just done for those scenes because it only had a few lyrics and "you hate goodbyes" was always sung for the last scene. It was a real pretty country song and I just wish there was like a full version of it but it's probably so insignificant to the shows no one involved would remember it years later. But someone working on the shows must have really wanted it at the time.

I have a vague memory of watching an episode just before the show got cancelled, had no idea it’s considered “lost” since it’s (relatively) recent. It goes to show… come to think, wonder the status of a lot of early WB stuff.

The lost episode of USA's "In Plain Sight." Season two was supposed to end with a two-parter instead of a cliffhanger. The big brass at USA, however, found the second part to be ridiculously depressing and pulled it days before air. To my knowledge, that second part has never been released.

Got a few more... - A PSA I think I would typically see on Fox. Had animated flower children, no, not hippies, child/flower hybrids. Who get killed by someone spraying them with poisons. (The idea is, "your words are like poison" or something...) - A puppet show seen on an Arab language children's show...this was on WNYC-31. It starred a talking pumpkin who was cursed to become invisible, and when bemoaning his situation, he yells, "Damn you zucchini, make me visible again!" - (There was another on this program...the AFTAB Network was the Arab block...with this robber who said "I swear to my mother, I am a gangster...") - Playing Chicken With The Train. I never saw this but apparently it was a filmstrip about train safety. I heard of it secondhand, and it supposedly ends with teenagers who try some stunt or whatever and wind up DECAPITATED. Ends with onlookers showing disgust as they see their remains. Only other detail I can think of was, a Spider-Man comic is briefly seen in it) - There was a Mickey Mouse/Disney picture book about a picnic, which I was obsessed with as a kid because of the name "Morgan's Meadow." This was the fictional location of said picnic, and I kept talking about it such that our nursery school picnic/barbecue had a Morgan's Meadow sign at the table. - A short I used to see on HBO. It was live action and about a radio game show called the Flashing Phrase. Basically, a housewife calls to play said game, only to forget her stove which sets the kitchen/house on fire. How about Bug Jam? - The Lube Connection ad from the 90s. (a local oil change shop in Jersey, had a jingle with these badly animated claymation oil drops) - There was a jingle for this lumber yard I used to hear all the time in the 80s and 90s: "Call WHO? Allen and Bubenick!" - The Mike Tyson parody from the late 90s for some NJ car dealership (of course it has lots of puns about biting and eating) - TV Kindergarten 1-2-3...this was on one of our local channels for the longest time and that era of the show seems to be rare online. - The one Bernadette Peters ad for Breyer's that seems to be nowhere, was one I had on a VHS tape I lost. By description it IS in Paley Center, however.

"The Lube Connection ad from the 90s. (a local oil change shop in Jersey, had a jingle with these badly animated claymation oil drops)"
My God, I cannot believe you posted about this - you might literally be the only other one in the world who recalls this (at least as far as what I can find via Google search.) I signed up for this forum JUST to reply to this post! I feel like you had to be living in Central NJ in the early 90s to have ever caught a glimpse of this, but I did! It was sooo bad, I remember the jingle as well. "At the Luuuube Connection..." (I don't think there was much more to it.) The oil droplets looked like very, erm "compromised" takes on the California Raisins. I almost want to contact the station to see if they have any archival footage of that, but these days I can't even remember the station!

For wrestling, footage of the Tri-State Wrestling League, which was the spiritual predecessor to ECW and featured a lot of their original talent. Only a few short clips of fan footage exist online.
