Unsolved Mysteries Lost Episodes & Archiving
I was kicking around this idea in an existing thread, but decided it might be more properly put in its own.
As most are aware, the so called "original" Unsolved Mysteries releases have been anything but, consisting of episodes with numerous omissions, cuts, and edits that make them far removed from the originals. For purposes of historic preservation it seems that archive of the original broadcasts should be maintained, and I have decided to start my own as a pet project. In doing this, I am going to start keeping a record of what episodes are "complete" versus "lost" and update it as I go. (Yes this is distinct from the stickied threads) Where possible an exact original broadcast seems preferable, but if I can assemble one from multiple sources I would also consider that "complete" in a sense. Thoughts? |

Most of the original broadcast episodes from the first six seasons were recorded by various people. After that it gets spotty with only a handful of recordings. Here's a list of recorded episodes by air date.
Specials 01. 1-20-1987 02. 5-25-1987 03. 9-24-1987 04. 11-29-1987 05. 2-5-1988 06. 5-6-1988 07. 5-18-1988 Season One 01. 10-5-1988 02. 10-12-1988 03. 10-26-1988 04. 11-2-1988 05. 11-9-1988 06. 11-16-1988 07. 11-23-1988 08. 11-30-1988 09. 12-14-1988 10. 12-21-1988 11. 1-11-1989 12. 1-18-1989 13. 1-25-1989 14. 2-1-1989 15. 2-8-1989 16. 2-15-1989 17. 2-22-1989 18. 3-1-1989 19. 3-15-1989 20. 4-5-1989 21. 4-12-1989 22. 4-26-1989 23. 5-3-1989 24. 5-10-1989 25. 5-17-1989 26. 5-24-1989 27. 28.

Thanks omegadoom, that gives a good starting point on what might be out there.
I would not be surprised if additional recordings are extant, but as time goes on those will become less and less likely to surface. If I do unearth any recordings I have the gear to do high quality VHS/S-VHS capture if needed. |
