Talk:Lost television broadcast

Request for article cleanup

edit

Would anyone like to participate in the article clean up? Specifically I would like to avoid those format warning for the list of the article that it currently is and consider subsections like distinguishing between American and United Kingdom entries, or programs that are totally lost to programs with missing episodes. How about listing what there is in chronological order? Would anyone have any other ideas? --Kencaesi (talk) 19:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Young and the Restless

edit

A great deal of interesting info here. While most of the major American soap operas have been covered here, (and while The Bold and the Beautiful is recent enough that one can assume it's fully archived), I'm curious if anyone knows how much of The Young and the Restless is archived. Clips of the first episode have been posted on Youtube, but while I'm guessing the show is complete from the late 70's onward, I wonder if the show was fully archived from the beginning (1973) or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.204.99 (talk) 07:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Trazan och Banarne

edit

The following is essentially all true. There might be one or two minor mistakes included only. The problem is, it needs to be verified somehow before entered in the article.

A Swedish TV series named "Trazan och Banarne" ("Trazan and Banarne") was aired in the 70s. When they planned a re-run of the series the original reels could not be found. It is believed that they had been destroyed by mistake. They tried to restore the original programs using VHS-recordings but eventually failed. Instead they took the old scripts and re-recorded every show pretty close to the original. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.227.58.24 (talk) 07:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I Love Money seasons 3 and 4 and Megan Wants a Millionaire

edit

The later episodes of Megan Wants a Millionaire and all of I Love Money Seasons 3 and 4 were never aired because one of the Jasmine Fiore thing. VH1 didn't want to upset the family so they never aired the footage. This footage nmay never see the light of day, in fact it's entirely possible that VH1 has already destroyed the footage to prevent that from happening. Should there be some mention of this in this article?Schnapps17 (talk) 05:13, 1 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

MST3K?

edit

We know the three episodes gone missing still exist in a film reel, with that being said though, would it be considered missing really then?

These episodes are missing:

Most episodes survived for public release merely through fan recordings; these ones weren't recorded by anyone who at least is aware that these are rare. Joel Hodgson doesn't seem to want to release them. --Bladez636 (talk) 23:10, 14 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pokémon / Pocket Monsters

edit

Please don't add Electric Soldier Porygon or any other Pokémon episodes here. It clearly doesn't fit the criteria for inclusion on the list: "Lost television broadcasts are composed of mostly early television programs and series that for various reasons cannot be accounted for in personal collections or studio archives."

While the episode was never officially shown again after its original broadcast in December 1997, a good quality off-air home video tape recording exists and can be easily found on the Internet. SakoeraTyan (talk) 16:06, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Should We add Scare Pewdiepie Season 2 to list of lost television broadcasts?

Merge

edit

I propose that this article be merged with Wiping, as they cover substantially the same topics. Strictly speaking, they're not the same thing; not all lost television episodes were 'wiped' (many were just never recorded in the first place) and not everything that was 'wiped' is a television broadcast. But it's clear from the content of the two articles that they overlap substantially, and much programming is listed as examples in both articles.

Wiping is actually the older article, dating back to 2002(!) while this one was started in 2009; but it seems to me that if they are to be combined into one article, 'lost television broadcast' is the more general topic so should be the one which is kept.

Please comment on this merge proposal below. Robofish (talk) 21:55, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I fully agree!!!... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.208.4.203 (talk) 07:03, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

As someone who's done a decent amount of work on wiping, I would definitely support that. We'd do a little restructuring on this page, perhaps sorting by reasons the broadcasts are lost (with wiping being largest), as well as maybe taking some of the network-specific historical info and putting it on the pages for the networks themselves.

Programs and series?

edit

I had replaced it to programs because television series are programs as well, people just don't know that TV series are indeed programs, They're not like TV films or anything, in which they're programs too, even though it's not a theatrical film, TV films are considered as programs nonetheless, it's just that they're underrated and TV specials are more overrated. However, I just replaced to it programs because programs and series do not make sense, television series are programs, so you don't have to separate the word, they're programs.

You Bet Your Life

edit

It's mentioned that You Bet Your Life survived only because of an agreement to give Groucho Marx the recordings. Except, You Bet Your Life wasn't recorded was it? I thought it was filmed - in part to allow it to be rebroadcast. Is it correct to refer to it as "recordings" in this case? And is it even correct Marx was given "recordings" that were going to be destroyed? I thought he owned the thing like Lucy and Desi owned I Love Lucy, which they also made sure was filmed rather than recorded. 23skidoo (talk) 16:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Update required?

edit

In the last couple of years there has been a lot of media coverage about TV series and films being removed from streaming services. This has led to some belief that these programs are being wiped similar to what is being described. One series, Final Space has been claimed as having been erased as a tax write-off (see linked Wikipedia article) and there are other shows that - perhaps erroneously - are being referred to as having been deleted. Where an update is necessary is to indicate if indeed Final Space et al are indeed lost media or still exist in some archival form or in privately downloaded copies ... and if the term is being misapplied. 136.159.160.121 (talk) 20:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Club Mario, Video Power, Other Children Shows

edit

I don't have any sources, but it would be nice to find sources and research about shows like Club Mario or Video Power, etc., that are either considered lost, or something. 2600:8801:0:2B10:4D4D:B1E9:8BED:1832 (talk) 03:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
