    What defines complete?

    I have the whitest kids u know complete uncensored but the quality is poor for the most part. Seasons 1-3 are 480p dvd rips, season 4 is 1080p webrip, and season 5 is 720p webrip. However, whoever runs their youtube has posted the entire series in 1080p but it’s heavily censored - bleeped everything like slurs but also the word shit, large blurs over content like people committing suicide or a naked butt, etc

    I have the original run of daria in mostly dvd quality but it’s restored. Original music returned and scenes that have been cut due to censorship manually edited back in (though this does occasionally cause the audio and video quality to dip)

    Same deal for beavis and butthead, the state, ren and stimpy, Rockos modern life, etc

    Most/all of these shows are on streaming networks which implies digital or film masters exist that would allow for a proper HD release of the original content. It’s a shame that it’s not done because of bullshit copyright/licensing issues and/or a lack of financial viability.

    Michael and Michael have issues - a 1 season Comedy Central show with Michael Ian black and Michael showalter from the state. I have the dvdrip but hdrips were released. All the torrents for the hd rips are long dead and I lost the hd rips I had in a crash a while back.

    Probably more along these lines

    As a more traditional answer to your question: a person with access to my Jellyfin server asked if I could get dancing with the stars. I got the recent few seasons but they wanted the old seasons, which apparently aren’t on any streaming networks. They also aren’t anywhere I can find. This was not a show I would typically watch or archive (apparently anyone else, either). As per the above I’m more into sketch comedy and I also have just a shitload of remux anime. it was interesting to me and I saw it as a challenge. I had never seen a show that is completely unavailable while currently airing. I was able to get season 1 in dogshit quality and about 70% of the remaining run but most of the early seasons are dead and gone as far as I can tell.

        77” but I also care about archival. I’ll cop h265 vs remux is basically imperceptible for much content but i have like 200tb of storage so ill archive the most notable versions

    I have most, but not all, of “You Can’t Do That On Television” but it is is very low quality and in the old Windows 98 video player format.

    There was a show called Dogs Might Fly I’ve been looking for for a while now. No luck.

    Doctor Who.

    At this point, nobody has them all, but I heard they’re planning to use AI, stills and the audio to regenerate the lost video.

    I would give almost anything for the complete run of Cheaters.

    It’s dogshit television that a buddy and I found once on a trip and couldn’t stop making fun of. He’s one of my favourite people, always comes up with great birthday/christmas gifts and just once, I’d like to get him something he can’t buy, I know he doesn’t have and he’d absolutely love.

    Edit: Right, can’t I have it? My torrent site is fine but doesn’t have an extensive catalogue and I’m not good enough on the high seas to know how to get invited to a better one.
