What are some examples of some TV shows that you can no longer stream or buy?
The first that came to mind are episodes that have been removed from circulation, like the Pokemon episode with Porygon, or the It's Always Sunny Lethal Weapon episodes, or that first DnD episode from Community.
From a quick search, there are a bunch that are stuck in weird legal limbo: The Drew Carey Show, Dogma, Tales from the Crypt.
Someone also mentioned Song of the South being pulled by Disney. Ooh, or the original Star Wars films from before they were edited. There are also probably a ton of not well known older films that would benefit from being preserved.
I tried to find the show @midnight for a long time, and comedy central would have a rotating section of episodes, but never the whole series....it was my white whale for a while
If you know how to use BitTorrent, the entire show is out there for grabs!
I had every single episode a few years ago, took me ages to track them all down. Then I lost them all during a storage upgrade... But when the new After Midnight show started up, some kind soul uploaded a torrent of the entire @midnight archive.👍
Yeap! Noticed I said "was" ;-) I manged to find the whole thing, have it backed up on multiple drives, and try to seed as much as possible. Side note, After Midnight is no where near as good of a show, sadly.
Agreed... it took me a while to warm up to new new show while they figured out what they were doing. After a few months I began to enjoy it for what it was... It could never touch the original, but it had some of that same spirit of ridiculousness. The 2nd season was better, but that's all we got. Hardwick seriously needs to start up @m again!
