Anyone have this?

There's a few episodes on TV Vault I can get for you.

What's TV Vault?

What's TV Vault?

It's a private torrent site that specializes in rare and forgotten TV shows. They have all four of the aired episodes of this show and i'd be happy to get them for you, do you have a trade list?

Anyone have this?The four aired episodes aren't hard to find. The place mentioned above is just one of the options - in fact a better quality copy of one of the episodes turned up very recently.

The five unaired episodes (including the pilot) are a different story... That's probably never going to happen.

For me this is as racist the The Producers is antisemitic... The joke's on the bigots.

Interestingly enough according to the comments on the TV Vault page the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, IL actually has a copy of the pilot, I live in IL but i'm not exactly close to Springfield so i'm not going all the way there just for a pilot of this terrible show :lol:

But if anyone else on here lives near there and wants to give it a shot be my guest.

The actual pilot - reportedly - provided the backstory but there was an execution scene which was misreported as a hanging so that didn't please the protesters... So it was shelved and the only known episodes are in fact 2, 3, 4, and 5.

oh you've actually been there? interesting.

oh you've actually been there? interesting.It was a better series than "Thanks" - which was a similar idea and made around the same time.

Anyway we may as well forget about this. Nothing will happen until (or rather: unless) some crew member or someone up in the chain spills these on the internet, as happened with a UK example. It may never even happen.

We might as well focus on things that have actually hit the airwaves at one time (check out some on my wishlist). There we stand at least a small chance. (Heck, even "Oh no! Not THEM!" appears to have been partially shown as a kind of announcement.)

The most likely way those unaired episodes are found at this point would be if Media Garage leaks them. He's a guy with a Youtube channel who's worked on probably hundreds of shows and he's been uploading unaired pilots for months and even some unaired episodes of TV shows so there's a small chance he might have the pilot and the other unaired episodes, I suppose I could check.

Mostly 2003 onwards, so far.

(There was another guy on reddit who was posting stuff to archive.org, and he did have 1990s programs. But he has stopped completely. But anyway, I had already asked him before he disappeared, and he didn't have Pfeiffer or Oh no! Not THEM!.)

I believe that guy was MG as he used to be on Archive.org before his account got removed on there.

MG has posted some stuff from the 90s, I sent him a message asking him if he has those unaired episodes, even though I personally don't care if they're never found I know others do(And TV Vault has a bounty for the unaired episodes so if I could fill that that would be nice).

No it seems unlikely that that was the same guy. CGF/LR is not MG - what would be the point of pretending to be two persons both doing the same kind of thing?

Well what were some of the shows CGF/LR had on Archive.org?

Oh you're on TV Vault too? neat.

Not with great enthusiasm.

I've enjoyed my time there so far, i've found many shows I never would've found otherwise, most people on there have been pretty nice and i've been happy to contribute stuff there. What's your username on there BTW? Mine is vexer6

It's my balanced opinion that the staff aren't worth the time of day, mostly because their gut instinct is to be rude and assume the worst intentions, which probably says a lot about their own personalities. Some good members, though.


Anyway this is all futile because it won't help locate any wanted episodes. You're better off keeping an eye on VHS tapes that people are disposing of.

If I happen to come across it fine, if not I won't lose any sleep over it. When it comes to missing episodes and shows i'm going to prioritize stuff I actually like:lol:

I've had pretty good experiences with the staff, Retrojunkie and co seem reasonable so long as you follow the rules. I've never personally witnessed them assume the worst about anyone, I did see Nickodemos(Who got banned from Cinemageddon earlier this year for repeatedly contradicting staff members but is still on TVV)get short with a few people including myself on CG but beyond that i've had no real issues to speak of.

Maybe, i'll see what MG says. If I happen to come across it fine, if not I won't lose any sleep over it. When it comes to missing episodes and shows i'm going to prioritize stuff I actually like:lol:Sure, that's probably much more fun than searching it just for some ratio reward. But eh, you're the one keeping the thread alive. (I'm sorry you don't like this, it was the closest the USA would ever get to Blackadder.)
Do ask MG, if you have a hotline, but it seems the wrong period to me, just before he got started with however he got his library together. Although he has uploaded at least one program from the mid-to-late 1990s.I've had pretty good experiences with the staff, Retrojunkie and co seem reasonable so long as you follow the rules.

But sooner or later there's a grey area where it's absolutely clear you had good intentions... Or so you'd think.

So yes I personally witnessed that. And there's a thread on the forum, online for all to see to this day, that illustrates how "helpful" they are. A request was cancelled, assuming the bounty (a HUGE amount) would return. As it turns out, instead it evaporates into thin air. (And that's very badly documented, you only see that briefly mentioned in one place, when you create a request - not a page you revisit or information you can search for.)
When this was mentioned on the forum, the whole lot of them said well tough luck, WRONGLY claimed that it works like that everywhere, and locked the thread. With a final "well-meaning" staff member adding that he considered restoring it, but didn't, because it should be a lesson. Wow.

Bunch of children who see all feedback as a personal attack. Would have been fired on day one on any paid job.
These people would be NOTHING without the members adding rare content; maybe that's why they're sour. On one specific show's page, they were so rude and sarcastic that I just stopped uploading the episodes that I had completely. And, tellingly, no-one else continued the work.

I messaged him so we'll see what happens.

Oh yeah that request rule, i did run into that once(I thought the Jenny McCarthy show Bad Girls Guide wasn't on there but it was, I just entered the name into the search wrong) but I chalked that up to my own fault for not reading the fine print and didn't really blame the staff. I also once accidentally put a higher bounty on a request then I intended to, but again I chalk that up to being my own fault for not paying closer attention to what I was doing.

What show did you stop uploading episodes on just out of curiosity? Depending on the show I might consider continuing the work myself.

Well MG got back to me and said he most likely does not have it, so guess that's another dead end for now.

More or less what I suspected, although one can always ask!Oh yeah that request rule, i did run into that once(I thought the Jenny McCarthy show Bad Girls Guide wasn't on there but it was, I just entered the name into the search wrong) but I chalked that up to my own fault for not reading the fine print and didn't really blame the staff.

In itself that's fine, because I'm not a paying customer.
But it's also badly documented, and that would be easy to fix. Besides, no-one's forcing them to be such d1ck5 about it - to a contributing uploader. The truth isn't always in the middle, sometimes one side really are a5540!35.

It’s been over a decade since I was a member, but yeah this.

My only real complaint about the site design is not being able to see everyone who has snatched a show like you can do on Cinemageddon. That would make it easier for older torrents to get reseeded.

Just to make it clear, I'm not trying to talk you into disliking something. Nothing wrong with a bit of optimism.

But like they say, in times of trouble you see who the real friends are. Or some proverb.

Can you invite me to tv vault?
