The rabbit hole of lost media from the shows we watched growing up is very large so let's check out some memorable topics.
The rabbit hole of lost media from the shows we watched growing up is very large so let's check out some memorable topics.
My son was born in 1997, so it was Nick Jr. and the Disney channel all day everyday, so it's nostalgia for me and I'm sure for my sons, I had another baby in 2000. I recorded many hours of Nick Jr shows with commercials and everything, I miss my kids being little, sometimes when I play those tapes to reminisce my wonderful times with them, I cry in silence.
@S. T. Aww... thank you very much and likewise.
Bro, Im a 98 kid and bro I feel the same way, but you got to experience most of the late 90’s early 2000’s and have recorded experiences of it. Wish we could go back, but we must go on into the future but never forget the past. Also I have tapes of Cartoon Network that I recently digitized from 2004, I use this vr emulator called emu vr to replicate the tv’s and experience my childhood once more ( I don’t have the space for a crt tv so this was the next best thing)
Cool story bro
@@bobross38 That's awesome! Maybe my sons will get to do that to preserve their childhood memories. Thank you for your comment.
@@zkoopa4445 😊
Children's lost media is the best mix of curiosity and childhood nostalgia wrapped into one. I personally love digging up old kid's lost media from when I was younger (between 2009-2014.)
me too
i can’t believe so many things from my childhood are lost!! it’s so weird to think something i saw is lost media like its somewhere in my brain but there’s no way to see it again.
Sesame Street 847 is 9n KZhead in full
@musictime damn
Something else interesting is that PBS Kids always seem to have interesting music choices for their bumpers every now and then. For instance, around 2005, there was a promo for Cyberchase that used the Black Eyed Peas song "Let's Get it Started", which that promo seems to be lost as well.
Now that you say it I can imagine in my head what that would've been like
What the fuck? I thought Ni Hao Kai Lan + Walking on Sunshine was weird enough!
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS THE BLACK EYED PEAS PROMO
they also used dammit by blink 182 in an arthur promo (which is funny because the actual song is very inappropriate, for more reasons than just the title)
@@wigwagstudios2474 that happened??
90% of this video has been "hey I remember that show!" for me. This unlocked a whole lot of memories from my childhood.
I was a massive oswald fan as a little girl, and I like collecting silly japanese memorabilia, so I am SO HAPPY I could potentially have my own plush weenie
Here’s hoping that one day you somehow luck into getting a JP Oswald plush!!

Holy crap, I didn't realize just how long the video was until I saw this 😭
Thanks man😁
Man the Wiggles were the life of the childhood party.
Baby einstein is something completely different lol, that reference doesnt mean anything
Seeing ooh and ahh again feels like snorting 7 lines of nostalgia and being teleported beck to 2008. There was literally not a single show on that playhouse Disney list that I did not watch religiously. I even went to imagination movers live
My parents both had “crack of dawn” jobs, so they usually had me up and around with them. Once we got Dish network in ~2003/2004, I was extremely engrossed in watching these shows while my parents got ready for the day. I distinctly remember my watching order preference went as follows: - Nick Jr. (If Blues Clues was on, my parents did not expect me to be willing to change channels) - Ready Set Learn! (Personal favorites included Hi-5 and the Save-Ems!) - PBS Kids - Playhouse Disney (caveat: Bear in the Big Blue House I would drop everything to watch, provided Blues Clues wasn’t on)
@NoahBud Wilder I can relate! Except my parents had crack AT dawn not jobs at the crack OF dawn :/
Please tell me I'm not the only one who only saw Peep and the Big Wide World through Ready Set Learn and NOT PBS Kids.
@@wigwagstudios2474 you aren’t 😊 i saw it through both as a kid actually
@@wigwagstudios2474 I fricking love that show!!!!!!!!
@@wigwagstudios2474 LOVED PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD!! AHHHHH! i found it on netflix.
Okay but the Oswald/Osbourne commercial was absolutely a thing. I remember thinking it was scandalous as a kid because of the bleeping.
It’s beautiful I love it-
As a kid Steve from blues clues stepped out of my TV and broke my bedroom window.
Did you have a bad dream
W.T.F.S.T. stands for: Why the funky shit tho 👁👄👁
The Captain Carlos shorts aired in Guatemala around the 2010s. I had no idea they were so old. I guess media takes a while to transfer from the north to the south. Like 90s stuff arrived in the 2000s, 2000s to the 2010s, etc.
"For some reason" Nostalgia. Nostalgia is the reason.
I was thinking that very same reason too.
The backyadigans would have been so scary as real life costumes lol glad they went with the cartoon instead 🤣🤣🤣
its even scarier knowing the costumes have most been rotting in a dingy warehouse all these years.
Made my heart feel warm seeing little bear in the intro.
Heck yeah, one of the main shows i watched with my mom, you can apparently watch it on paramount+ nowadays
@@rivergamingandmore1577 my mum used to watch it with me too! Now she watches it with my son. Thanks for that info, I'll have to have a look
Speaking of Children's Television lost media, I have been looking for something that I can't seem to find anywhere. Its called 'Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House', it aired on Saturday Morning on CBS in late 96 (Sept 96-Dec 96). It only lasted for one season & won a daytime Emmy I believe. You can pull up information on it, in somewhat decent detail so its not like people don't remember, its just not available to view outside of a few clips and an episode or two on KZhead. I've done some searching myself but it mostly just goes ignored. No episodes or DVDs seem to be available purchase either and I don't see any mention of VHS collections being sold. Would be awesome if someone could find this missing classic game show I used to love, the few times I got to see it.
I remember watching Face on Nick Jr. every day:) Have you ever heard of "What's the Buzz with Philomena Fly" ? I'm sure some of that show is missing. It was a short show that came on in-between shows.
Lost music is a very fascinating topic, so it would be cool if LSSQ could talk about more of that. The Qubo segment hit real close to home. Ready Set Learn I also remember, but that was from a DVD that I borrowed from a school I attended.
I was born in 2003, and my parents were very over protective. I was only allowed to watch Disney Jr, Noggin, and Sprout. Hearing that so many episodes are lost makes me so sad. I hope they find the wiggles episodes!
Bear In The Big Blue House was a Henson production. The Henson company was good at keeping everything they make, even if it's footage that didn't make the final cut.
owning a rare uk clifford the big red dog dub really made me happy that i own some lost media for real as clifford the big red dog is awesome
Was I the only one that never found Face terrifying? I mean yeah he can be a bit.. unnerving at first glance but I’ve always thought he was endearing and enjoyable.
I think the strange re-adaptation of Face needs more love. That weird one they had in 2003? Everyone hates it, which is a shame and is just another case of "WAHHH! CHANGE!!! BAD!!!!!"
face scared the shit out of me. my parents thought i liked him.
I was always okay with face
I was so scared of him as a kid, that simply seeing an image of him today makes me jump. :/
Smh y’all weak as hell 💀
I have a VHS tape that’s official from Cuppa Coffee animation themselves but I don’t know what’s on it. I recently found a VHS player so once I make sure it works right and won’t eat the tape I’ll come back to let you know what’s on it. It’d be a stretch for the super why pilot to be on it but I know for a fact the tape is from the right time period
Does anyone remember the episode of Breakfast With Bear where a kid made a face on his breakfast plate. That's one that stood out in my memory of the show.
Really nice video! Although I wish you'd added some sort of quick update during some sections like how the Wicked Witch episode has been "found".
Maybe he didn't mention that one because it was found in a legally questionable manner?
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936 i mean, the same guy made an entire video on the subject talking about that. LSSQ likely just combined clips together a while ago and decided to upload now without checking thoroughly enough, or maybe this was a scheduled upload that was rescheduled and not updated after the media in question was found.
Was gonna say, but found your comment. Yes I watched the witch scenes before this video came out. Still a recent find 🐬
@@nightspawnson-of-luna4936 na I think it was because he recorded that before it leaked
i used to watch qubo all the time!! no cable gang!! i remember when my mom was at work and my dad would go to sleep around 7pm cuz he had to get up at like 2am for work, i would wait for night owl to come on and sit super close to the tv with the volume super low to watch he man lol. when i heard the garage door open i would rush to turn off the tv and the living room light to not get caught bc it was like 12 am. good times :)
I watched the March 2008 jungle junction pilot but I vaguely remember it and want to watch it again.
I don't know why kid's shows have always been the most popular form of lost media. I think early on, the term was just being used like a catch all label for online content talking about theories and true stores of banned or unaired cartoons. I remember thinking, this is indeed very interesting, but why is the term "lost media" only being used for these specific situations of lost media? Later you and similar channels started talking about lost media in general, which is great
Nostalgia for these shows more likely explains it, alongside the fact that the anime scene wasn't well known for lost media hunting at the time as they mainly focused on fansubs & waiting for the next anime or dub to come out. Video games in particular were the most popular form of lost media before even kids' shows became a popular form of lost media.
A mix of nostalgia and networks that aired said media having little to no focus on preservation.
@@Willowposting Yeah, because to the networks they were disposable & replaceable.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Bear's costume and stuff? Like, the amount of emotion and movement he got was, honestly, impressive as hell. Even today, it still looks great. Even more so in the Breakfast With Bear stuff, where he's put side by side with real people.
OH MY GOD YOU ADDED THE ME AND MY FRIENDS VIDEO, thank you so much. This was the first video I watched on your channel and got me into your content.
i remember paz the penguin, my brother loved it as a baby, but they only aired the animated episodes, never saw the puppets on discovery kids
Last time I was this early, Kekcroc first appeared on the Lost Media Wiki
55:04 The sesame street episode actually has been found and posted on KZhead but Sesame Street has been copyright claiming it (or have said they could copyright claim it to deter people from reposting, iirc). It was found very recently, like maybe a few weeks ago I think.
Here's a reupload of it: kzhead.info/sun/ZZWbpLeGmmiqfI0/bejne.html
I have a copy of it.
@@meggiemoo511 There’s still some uploads on KZhead which is good but I’m glad you have it too just in case they go down!
It's just a compilation of videos he did a while back. He simply does these compilations as sort of filler before a new video comes out.
@@ExtremeWreck Oh! Didn’t know that thank you
Episode #847 of Sesame Street has been uploaded on Tiny Dancer’s KZhead channel very recently (in full)
he knows
Came here to say this 🐬
Ooh, I definitely remember the Oswald/Osbournes crossover! I'm fairly certain it was a network bumper, and I almost feel like I did see it during the Nick Jr. time slot.
"The threat of the witch's power remains in the childrens' eyes" sounds like my last performance review at work
I had no idea there was so much lost media about the Wiggles!! I remember I was obsessed with them back in the day (my mom claims that we were one of the first families in town to really get into them) and I remember watching them for hoooours. Seeing the lost media for them has inspired me to go digging through my mom's old box of VHS tapes to see if we have any of the old Wiggles stuff when I get home! Crappy thing is I can't remember if I even HAD any Wiggles on the VHS... it's one of those "I remember watching them for hours, but can't remember that those hours included having to rewind / swap tapes around" situations 🙃🙃
The whole Charlie thing didn't bother me: it's if anyone remembered how there were puppets of the cat and dino in the earlier seasons, then not having it return in later seasons. 22:45 Maybe I'm crazy, but I remember another show that aired on TLC (not sure if it was before that era of Ready, Set, Learn in the early 00s), that was called "SkinnamarinkTV". Unsure if it's considered partially lost, since I'm seeing so many search results, but IDK.
For the blue's clues 25th anniversary last year, Nickelodeon actually uploaded a short clip highlighting the top 3 moments from the blue's clues pilot online. Most of these scenes have never been surfaced before and it gives us the conclusion that Nick has the pilot preserved. Link to the unaired pilot scenes: kzhead.info/sun/rZmtgs2xap1qnH0/bejne.html
38:50 Nelvana, huh? From what I've heard, Nelvana also animated The Backyardigans, Guess With Jess, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends, Little Bear, and maybe a whole lot of others. I wonder if Nelvana animated any other Disney shows if they animated Handy Manny.
Nelvana is one of the BIGGEST Canadian animation studios! Along with those, they did the Ace Ventura cartoon, Braceface, Ollie's Pack, Moville Mysteries, The Magic School Bus(co-produced with Scholastic & PBS), Franklin, the Neverending Story cartoon, Waynehead, Spliced, Stickin' Around, the Free Willy cartoon, The Edison Twins, Jacob Two-Two, Scaredy Squirrel & Rupert, among others.
41:10 Got this PBS ad with the Cowboy Bebop theme song playing in it. Pretty cool they had the theme song playing in it.
Hahahaha Lololol
Love when you take all your old videos and put them into one. Its very creative!
I want to say the entry about face led me down a rabbit hole
I'm Brazilian and I remember seeing Capitain Carlos in Disney Junior with a PTBR dub. We need to look for that too!
eu também!! passava em meio aos comerciais, bizarro saber que é lost media hoje em dia
I remember watching the wiggles on the sprout channel. I never really liked the wiggles all that much, but now I’m interested in the search for the sprout versions.
I remember the Discovery Kids block when i was younger, i was actually watching it the moment it became the hub lol. Unfortunately the only show i have recollection of seeing is Hi-5, I guess i didnt watch it much and like you said, it was early in the morning. It was a neat block, shame to see some of it is lost to time.
I love the blues clues stuff!
one that probably doesn't count as lost media but surprisingly i never heard of anyone my age watching as a kid was "storytime with belle" or "sing me a story" on playhouse disney, had a very special place in my heart as a kid, hugely nostalgic.
Now that face has a whole new look it kind of makes me miss the old one that used to be the announcer for shows like Little Bill and Oswald
Man I was just going to come a comment recommending all these children cartoons but your already ahead of me! Nice video. One of my favorite channels
I remember watching Ready Set Learn on TLC and Discovery Kids!❤️📺🎶👍🏻
The ozzy parody was definitely on MTV during either the 10 spot or the Saturday night lineup around late 2002-2003 as I remember it and I watched tons of mtv back then
I lived and breathed playhouse and pbs till I was like 13 I knew all playhouse programs that was mentioned because I got up at like 5am as a kid and would listen to that while playing with my babydolls for hours
i had to pause this video several times to just go down a rabbit hole just looking up clips of shows i remembered from my childhood
I absolutely LOVED Paz the Penguin when I was a kid. Watched it in the morning before school. They also played Hip Hop Harry, Magic School Bus, and Hi-5!
I love these long videos there really good to just chill and play games
You comment on everything I watch lol
The UK version of Blues Clues had several kevins
they are plentiful
I remember the first one, I lived in Gary Indiana back in 2006 and I thought it was just a rebrand/remake and didn't think much of it but I would watch it all the time
So there is somebody else who remembers it ,lol
I remember when "Pecola" aired on Cartoon Network in the early 2000s. They made a promo where the network's continuity announcer at the time pointed out how every character has a cube-shaped head.
I was a limited cable kid of the early 2000s. So when I was growing up it was a combo of Nick Jr, PBS and some disney shows. So a lot of this children lost media hit me in the nostalgia vibes lol. I would remember watching some of my favorite shows when I was coming back from K-4th grade and even younger but most of my memories are from those times. We moved when I was in 5th grade but by then I was not watching it anymore lol.
Loves these kind of videos keep up the good work!
I remember the Australian Ooh and Aah. One short had them discussing about how Australia used chips for both french fries and crisps
"[Blues Clues] is fondly remembered by nostalgic teenagers and their parents alike." Homie I'm 24
Oh wow! A childrens lost media video that talks about both Sprout and Qubo! Those are two pieces from my childhood that I never hear anyone talk about! I actually have some recordings of Qubo from 2007 or so, as well as some recordings of Sprout (sadly nothing from the wiggles as far as I know) I'll have to check them again soon!
I find it interesting how many of these i remember even though I didn't have cable growing up.
12:35 As soon as you said Little-Einsteins my mind instantly remembered the “we’re going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship” meme from way back when vine still existed. 😂😂😅 Man those where the good old days. Anyone else remember what I’m talking about?
I was born in 92 most of these shows l watched sooo much . Nick jr had face . He was my favorite thing to wake up to in the mornings !! Let’s bring the classics back
this brought back so many memories of my childhood
i for sure have tons of Face content recorded on VHS. i need to go through it and see if i have anything we are looking for
When the face part kept repeating itself I lowkey started to freak out
😄
Here is an idea for a look into - I remember a show as a child called 'come inside ?" Where there was a house with a face and the furniture had a face and was a black and white cat?? I don't remember much on it though - if you could look into it for information
I think you’re talking about “Step inside”! You’ve probably mixed it with another kids show called “Come Outside” also so that’s why!
@@rabbitfloss I remember that show too . Though I found that boring. I did like her dog though. But yes I think that was it ? I was thinking there was proberbly lost media stuff on that. Being a old show and how uncanny it was
@@giannaxoxo2648 I actually liked that show, for some reason?? There’s probably lost media about it though, there’s lost media with EVERYTHING.
was it Out of the Box? the theme song had a part that said "come inside, it's fun inside"
Of note: PBS Kids Sprout was initially a joint venture between PBS, Comcast, Sesame Workshop, and HIT Entertainment. After various buyouts & shares being sold, Comcast assumed full control of the channel in Nov 2013, and renamed it to just "Sprout". It then changed into "Universal Kids" in late 2017.
as an artist growing up pappyland was one of my all time favorite shows to watch. i remember feeling like a cool kid for knowing how to draw animals from letters lmao
hearing of that oswald dub being lost made me wanna dive in myself to save up and try to get my hands on those dvd sets as i was quite young when oswald was originally airing in the US but i loved the show to death and id do anything to help find lost content surrounding the show
I know already this is an epic video
I still remember you mentioning Captain Carlos from a livestream years ago
Its so wild seeing mention of Qubo, i barely know anyone else who even knows it existed. My favorite was Jacob-Two-Two
The Osbornes Ozwald mystery, it aired on MTV I remember and was a Promo for the Osbornes! It only aired a few times late at night to promo the Osbornes, as it debuted during the MTV TV awards in the early 2000's! I think it was a promo for the season 2 premier...
Two episodes of Bear in the Big Blue House still need an English version.
I remember seeing the Ooh and Aah bumpers! Though I don't remember that much about them, I feel amazed to have witnessed Lost Media at one point in time.
Comcast had a channel called PBS Kids Sprout, that was eventually renamed to just Sprout once PBS launched their Kids brand as a digital subchannel. It’s possible there was a localized dub that aired on Sprout following PBS’ exit from the partnership, so searching contemporary TV listings might come up with something.
i am to this day trying to find some lost media from my own childhood. it was a series called third and bird, and while some of it can be found online, i have yet to see an entire episode.
I had no idea Oswald wasn’t popular back in the day, and was clueless about its popularity in Japan. I also knew international versions of Blues Clues existed (though now I vaguely remember seeing the UK actor). Every few sections my mind was getting blown.
I watched so much Ready, Set, Learn!!
i remember paz and hi5 vividly!! i hope the lost media from paz's block gets found!!
I’m pretty sure I have some lost things from Paz on my moms computer but idk
@@Chihuahuamations88 omg u should definitely check it out and see what u come up with!!
@@socialsycho ok I will try
@@Chihuahuamations88 good luck!!
The fondest memories i had as a kid was watching Masters of the Universe on Qubo every night. Those were good times
I could swear there's something familiar about that "Oswald/Osbourne" thing. Also, I assume the "alternate dubs" are more interesting to the people who speak whatever language the shows were dubbed in :-P And I do actually remember that "Stanley" show occasionally, when I think about a time when "logging onto the internet" was still a concept as opposed to computers and phones pretty much always being online (there were a couple of episodes where Stanley asked his parents or older brother to log onto the net with him)
This is sorta related to lost media but I vaguely remember this one show on TV in the middle of the night in the 2010's- 2013's. I think this show was a TV special since It played only once from what I remembered. It was Christmas related due to it being December but what I remembered, it was a puppet show with reindeer puppets singing songs and stuff. In the beginning of the special is a Christmas tree with lights and a fireplace in the background, which cuts to the puppets. This is possibly the only information that I know from my memory. This might not exist but I SWEAR I saw this on TV ONCE. Just wanted to comment this on here for some answers about this show I saw.
You've covered a lot of late 90s to early 2000s stuff. Early 90s nick Jr. Also had a lot too. Lamb Chop, that one elephant show, even Eurkeekas castle have a lot lot. The latter has shown up on Paramount plus, but a lot of material is still missing.
These videos are so interested keep them up
Stanley is lost media?! I loved it as a child
I remember Pappyland and Paz the Penguin. I’m pretty sure all of the Pappyland episodes can be found on KZhead. I’m not sure about Paz though.
How I actually started to get into lost media was from Pink Morning Cartoon because my friend introduced me to lost media 3 years ago and the first video she showed to me about lost media was pink morning cartoon! Ever since that day I've always liked to watch lost media and sometimes even think of things from when I was a kid that could be lost media now!
i remember seeing face content on my old vhs tapes, such as blues clues and rugrats, seeing a bunch of lost content makes me wonder how much lost content can be found on vhs tapes really
I swear I remember watching TV in Canada and hearing "Up next: Charlie!" with a video of Caillou being played. Some kids' TV network I don't remember, maybe Boomarang? They played some weird stuff.
I'm sure someone else has already commented on this, and you probably already know, but the wicked witch sesame street episode has been found, after it was leaked online! a very exciting find that i was really excited to watch unfold. the episode itself is actually very charming, but I can understand why some small children would react the way they did. i too was very afraid of the wicked witch lol. overall, not a bad episode, i really enjoyed it.
So I'm going to bring this up because I've been trying to put together when the Oswald commercial would've been and I distinctly remember being nearly a teenager while my younger sister still watched Nick Jr. and this commercial occurring. She also LOVED Oswald. So perhaps broadening the search up to about 2005 might help? Not to mention I know nick at night sometimes ran ads for children's television since some of the people watching it had grandkids or kids. I dug through some nick at night materials (circa 2002) and didn't find it then but perhaps others will have more luck if they see this. Happy hunting.
Speaking of lost promos and content between kids shows, there is a bumper prop from Fox Kids UK I have been looking for with no luck. My guess is that this aired late 90s to early 00s, but I am not exactly sure. Basically it was a compilation of a few cartoons Fox Kids UK was airing at the time (not sure if it was all cartoons though) and as it segmented between shows, music played with a man singing about the characters. I distinctly remember when a clip of The Tick from the The Tick cartoon came on (May have shown a close up of the Ticks face) and the man sang something like "You'd better beware when this guy's about" then the next clip, which might have been the last one showed a few clips of Sam & Max cartoon. I have searched through uploaded promos from Fox Kids UK but haven't came across what I remember seeing. It would be great if anyone knew what this was or were I could see the clip, would like to see it again.
i would watch Qubo at my grandpa’s house because he never had cable. my cousins and I loved watching it together. I also loved the Hub, so nostalgic.. Chuck and friends! AHH.. we still have a DVD from that show! I discovered Paz the Penguin through something else. I never watched Ready Set Learn, I just am very familiar with Paz somehow. I loved playhouse disney, and the game series BunnyTown, and Ooh and Aah! you brought so much nostalgia to me, LSSQ! Can you at some point talk about “Lou and Lou Safety Patrol”? It aired on Playhouse Disney I think.
omg I remember the Oswald/Osbornes thing!
