There have been hundreds upon hundreds of TV shows out there (possibly millions), but it feels like a lot of them have become long forgotten memories that have little to no trace left.

Example: Cro

A show about an intelligent Cro-Magnon boy that used to air on a tv channel called Noggin. I used to watch it, but now, it seems like there's little to no traces of it left. I found out about the videos for it, but all together, there are only 6 episodes between them. This show has been all but forgotten

[up]This is more about the ones that are hard/impossible to find, regardless of quality.


And boy, do I have a lot:

I have two VHS recordings of The Bluffers, and I can only find one other episode online anywhere.

I've ripped two episodes of Yakkity Yak off You Tube. A friend compared another show to Yakkity, and I wanted to check it out, but those were the only two I could find.

I have 8 episodes of The Brothers Flub on VHS and would give my right arm for the other 18.

As of this writing, there are only a couple bits and pieces of the Mother Goose and Grimm cartoon on You Tube.

One of the rarest cartoons of all time has to be Wolf Rock TV. From what i've heard it was an show with Wolfman Jack and some teens running a tv station. All i've found are the episode titles for the few episodes that aired, but no info on the episodes themselves, and forget about finding actual episodes.:

What about that short-lived My Pet Monster cartoon?

Some of the ABC Saturday Superstar Movie entries, such as That Girl in Wonderland or Luvcast USA are devilishly hard to find.

And then there are films that are, literally, lost, such as the 1936 Italian The Adventures of Pinocchio or the 1991 Russian animated Hobbit film.

I do remember a cartoon out there about the MGM Lion and his family, of all things. Seriously.

Just floating around...
