Maybe I'm wrong, but I would assume that in the 1990s to 2000s studios were better about archiving production data, and there aren't likely to be "lost episodes" in this stash?
- DigiEggz 2y agoYou'd be very surprised.
- dylan604 2y agoyou'd be not right. things happen. tapes get misplaced. tapes get lost. tapes get damaged. the people working at the studios are merely human. and at this point, there's even fewer humans working at the studios as they keep laying people off.
- beerandt 2y agoTapes especially got recorded over.

- lubujackson 2y ago"Lost" is a relative term. I'd like to watch old episodes of MTV's "You Wrote It, You Watch It" (hosted by a young Jon Stewart!) but good luck finding that on the internet anywhere.
- qingcharles 2y agoI don't know if MTV still offer this, but about 10 years ago they still had a service where you could get them to basically burn any show to a DVD for a small cost. I got a bunch of rare shows this way.
