Ode to Lost Media (aka a wishlist, get over it)

 THINGS I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHILE I'M ALIVE AND ABLE TO USE YOUTUBE AND THE LIKE

  •  Chuck Woolery Wheel of Fortune from 1975 (I know other years are covered, but i mean the formative months, including January of 1975, where there's NO video.... just audio recordings)
  • Second Chance (1976-1977) I want to see more of its evolution, including how the big money space operated before the show was canceled and got the 80s treatment as the Press Your Luck we know and love with the Whammies we grew to love to dislike.
  • Drew Carey's Price is Right Audition Footage... .wait, that doesn't exist as he didn't audition
  • Doug Davidson doing The Price is Right Live (way after his 1994-95 stint on The New Price is Right in syndication)
  • The possibly boring Double Dare 1986 pilot, even if it didn't have physical challenges in the front game
  • The Family Double Dare exclusive music cues that didn't get used in other versions of Double Dare (both Fox era and Nick Studios era)
  • The actual audio of Double Dare 2000's music (not just the AI extractions) 
  • The rest of the 1983-86 Press Your Luck soundtrack, including the prize cue and the commercial vamp
  • The full America's Funniest Home Videos theme from 1997 (without me having to use AI to isolate stuff), including vamps and closing variants
  • More Sentai series from TokuSHOUTsu reaching beyond Jetman (going further before Zyuranger and the Mighty Morphin' Madness in the US) and beyond Hurricaneger on the other side of the timeline
  • And i'm sure there's things i can't think of that would surprise me (hint: a lot of stuff from Wink's Vault/The Game Show Vault throughout the years)

 Another one, which I was working on the interview & transcript on WHILE the other from "current anon" was happening.  Yes, me juggling 2 interviews/chats at the same time, all while doing other things like getting ready for a Dave & Busters trip the next day (the day after when I posted volume 2 and did the draft for this one.  Once again, edited for grammar and formatting.

Confessions of a Chuck E Cheese employee

Image
 I recently got a chance to speak to a friend from one of the Twitch/Discord communities I'm in who just so happened to have once worked for one Charles Entertainment Cheese (AKA Chuck E Cheese). This person, though, wanted to remain anonymous in this interview, so I'll refer to them as "CEC Anon" for lack of a better term. NOTE: THE INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT IS MOSTLY AS DONE IN THE DISCORD DM, WITH GRAMMAR EDITS AS WELL AS SOME CONTENT EDITS (ME ASKING TWO QUESTIONS AT ONCE, DOING ONE WHILE WAITING ON AN ANSWER FOR THE OTHER) Me: Do you remember what animatronic "stage" you had when you were working there? CEC Anon: I was actually too afraid of them to have anything to do with them. But I was a waitress/in costume. Me: Ah... which costumes were you in, if you remember? CEC Anon: Whoever they needed me to be. There was never really a rotation or anything. It's whoever was working and what they needed. Sometimes we only had a Chuck E. Sometimes we had Helen H...
