I was looking up a tv series I saw occasionally back in the day starring Sam Waterston called I'll Fly Away. I wanted to see if it was available on disc on streaming, but it's not. I consider it a "lost" series since there's no way to watch it. Ed is another favorite series of mine that you can't watch anywhere. Do you have any favorite series that are "lost"?

It's available on YouTube

Thanks, unfortunately that's not official and could be pulled at any time. Knowing my luck, they'll pull it after I start watching it.

There are tools and browser extensions to download youtube videos if you really want to save and watch it (season 2 is there too).

Yeah, it's not official, and it's old ripped from TV quality.

Trying to think of something that matches your topic...

The Mind of the Married Man - Season 2.

Easiest answer is Final Space, the cartoon comedy series set in space which ran three years on TBS fairly recently. Thanks to the WB-Discovery merger, they took a tax write-off on the entire series and thus it's now off limits from any official source. The first two seasons were released on Blu-ray, which now go for astronomical values.

So it's still available on piracy sites, but all streaming venues have removed it.

I've never seen the TV series "American Dreams" anywhere, maybe due to music rights.

Yeah, I have Easy Youtube Video Downloader, a Firefox extension that puts a button on the youtube video pages that let download a video to hour HD with one click.

And you can also download and install JDownloader2; it's a download manager program. With that, you can copy/paste the URL of the youtube (or dailymotion, vimeo, pornhub, or any other number of video sites) into it and download it any quality available. (Easy Youtube Video Downloader limits you to 360p and 720p.) With JDownloader2 you can also copy/paste the URL of a youtube playlist and download the whole thing at once.

I just plunked down some $$$ on Ebay to get Millennium (the Chris Carter series with Lance Henriksen) on DVD (its been out of print for a long while), as it is not available on digital or streaming. The last time I did this was for Moonlighting, which was shortly thereafter launched on streaming by Disney, so expect the same with Millennium soon. You're welcome.

Great show, can't believe there are no places streaming it.

I still have all 3 seasons on DVD. Surprised that’s something you don’t own. Very underrated show and glad I didn’t sell it.

The first season was the best from what I recall. It was like a weekly horror movie. I need to revisit it.

I have seasons one and two of Millennium on DVD; never got the third and final season and sort of regret it even though I remember it not being very good. The only one I really remember was the one with Kiss as guest stars.

Season two was easily my favorite, with that weird apocalyptic conspiracy thing between the Roosters and the Owls, a sort of mystical/religious counterpart to The X-Files' aliens and sci-fi influenced conspiracies.

It was kind of obvious that they were fumbling around with the concept each season trying to find something that would connect with audiences... season one was a procedural, season two went full-on occult/conspiracy, and season three turned it into a kind of X-Files lite.

And then they closed the "millennium" thing off in a really wretched episode of The X-Files that seemed more like a middle finger to the people who watched both series than an attempt to make something interesting.

There are a metric ton of cartoons that won't see the light of day (officially), maybe because of licensing, but probably because of lack of interest, like Robocop (animated), Centurions, Spiral Zone, Bionic Six, Rambo (animated), Mr. T (animated), Rubik the Amazing Cube, and a lot of old Hanna Barbara shows like, say, the Thing, etc. etc.

I only got the first two seasons too because season 3 was not good. I think the season 2 finale is a much better series finale than anything that came after it.

Season One is on DVD. Maybe your local library has it if you don't want to buy it.

China Beach is now available to stream on Howdy Roku's new streaming service that costs $2.99 a month. https://tvline.com/news/china-beach-...ne-1235488186/

TVLine polled readers and of the top 10 most requested shows only Ed, Chicago Hope, Boston Public, and Murphy Brown are still unavailable to stream. https://tvline.com/lists/tv-shows-no...knots-landing/

When The Dirty Dozen was a big hit in summer of '67 MGM rushed this into production for the fall. Ran one season 1967-68. Then disappeared. Someone put a couple episodes up on youtube. Keep holding out that someday this will come from Warner Archive. I'm confident they have what they need, just never been on their radar.

Standoff, a 2006 crime drama/comedy starring Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Not (currently) on any streaming services, but I recall it was on Hulu quite a few years ago. Never got a DVD release. Definitely didn't get a Blu-ray release.

Millennium, the 1996 Chris Carter series starring Lance Henrikson and lasted 3 seasons, is sort of in the same boat, but at least that one got DVD releases back in the day. Those are long OOP, though.

Odd Job Jack was a 2003–2007 animated cartoon starring Don McKellar that lasted 4 seasons. Season 2 was the only one ever released on DVD. Seasons 3 & 4 were on Hulu but are long gone, officially speaking. Season 1 seems to be genuinely lost, with the exception of one episode that was available in full on the website. The studio that made it may still have digital copies in their archives, but they don't seem to currently have the rights to distribute it.

Of these three, I don't really consider Millennium "lost" since those DVDs did exist and have been archived. It's just a shame that it's not properly available to watch anywhere else, along with the others.

A lot of people wanted China Beach back in the DVD days. I’ve never seen it, but Dana Delany is always great.

Third Watch only has S1 and 2 on DVD, of course OOP, I'd like to have all 6 seasons though.

It’s not on physical media anymore. But all 6 seasons are available to stream for free on Tubi and The Roku channel.

There is another old Waterston series called Q.E.D. that I have vague memories of watching as a kid. All six episodes are on YouTube, but also appear to be "unofficial" and not available to stream anywhere else.
