Unfortunately, it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped. The segments have been posted for viewing, and I think there are other copies out there. They are from the early 90s - I haven't checked for airdates. Here's what I found:

#1 - Eric Kessler - difference between this one and Lifetime is there is a second victim who was swindled after Katherine, the salon owner.
Kecksburg UFO - segment two
Segment 3 was an unusual one. In the John Mooney update (he paid for the murder of TK Harty) that was broadcast in the 3rd anniversary episode, there was a neighbor of Mooney's interviewed named Lavar Bates. Turns out that Lavar had fathered a child way back when and mom and now adult daughter had been searching for him when they saw him on UM. They called in, communication was made, and UM flew him to meet his daughter. Kind of an interesting segment.

#2 - Stanley Grysiec, Kevin Poulsen, Nikki Crowder (w/update), and the poopy KROQ lying-ass DJs. This episode is you-know-where, and I think the NBC version is out there.

#3 - Aliens episode from late 1994/early 1995 (has newer credits graphics) - appears to be mostly Roswell and Allagash (sp?) in the episode.

So, not terribly exciting, but not too shabby. I'm hoping to find more lost episodes on some of my tapes.

Nice finds. My guesses for the airdates:

1. 1/23/91.

2. 3/6/91.

3. 9/18/94.

I remember the original update to the Eric Kessler segment. They interviewed a new woman who was conned by him and they even brought back the actor to do a reenactment where Kessler demands money from his girlfriend and even starts to get physical with her until she finally tells him she'll give him all the money he needs.

I couldn't tell if this was an update or not. It didn't appear to be - there was continuity through the segment.

Also - I should clarify - I have not posted these videos anywhere yet - but the second episode is one that other people have posted you-know-where.

Sweet, nice finds. I love discovering (or even rediscovering) stuff on VHS tapes!

I think my ultimate find would be the original broadcast of Dennis DePue. But yeah, I'm glad I have 2 intact NBC broadcasts. Now I have to find a way to share them!

are you going to be selling dubs of these episodes??

Legally, I don't think I can...and I am not sure how I will get them onto DVD, but I'd be happy to trade or share with people. Like, if you wanted a copy, send me a blank dvd and pay for the postage and I'd send you one. I'm hoping to post them for viewing too....but this is all weeks down the road.

But yeah - I wouldn't try to sell any of them. But when I can, I'd make a copy for anyone that wants one. It's all for the love of UM. :)

Just FYI- you might what to discuss that in private. :)
