For those wondering what shows aired on the Bartcasting special event: 8:00am - C-Bear & Jamal 8:30am - Big Bad Beetleborgs 9:00am - Casper 9:30am - Spider-Man 10:00am - Goosebumps 10:30am - Life with Louie 11:00am - X-Men 11:30am - The Tick (This was November 2nd, 1996)
I had a friend that worked at Target when they shifted the box sets to plastic head shaped packages. It wasn't Homer, but Marge, but he said they were a pain in the ass to carry, stack, and display. So it may have been slightly annoying to the collectors, but it was a middle finger to the already lower earning retail worker. A pretty stupid, gimmicky change.
@@Fireglo So, daddy basically gave you a job then? EVERYONE winds up in retail or service because you need to start somewhere to get experience to get any job out there. Dude was a teenager at the time, they're not going to give him a corner office when he's still in high school. Secondly, he wasn't wrong. Things tend to come in rectangle boxes because they're stackable, storable, and shipable. Basic product engineering. Instead, these DVD cases were bulgy in front, made of cheap, smooth, slippery plastic, and didn't even have flat sides, as they had those thing seams where the box closed (and not very well). You could fit, if you're lucky, like 2 or 3 on a retail shelf rather than at least 5. And in my experience, if you picked one up, chances are they were angled to stay on those shelves so they all fell over if you picked one up. The only one not bright and should have been in retail here is the dumbass who couldn't even design a package properly where form and function are done away for a cheap shot at whimsy, which made it look like a cheap kid's toy and not a collectible DVD product. Suffice to say after the Marge shaped wave, they toned down the 3-D round effect and put slip covers on the next batches before they wisely reverted back to stackable, storable boxes.
@@mightyfilm I don't have a daddy. 😂 nah bro it's called actually looking for decent work. Do some labouring on construction sites which also opens up contacts for you in the industry instead of stacking shelves for a faceless corporation that could care less about you. No one cares if you work in retail. But people in construction care if you've worked in construction everyone knows everyone in that industry so if your name is floating around you'll have no trouble getting work or training.
@@Fireglo You're giving career advice to someone who isn't even me from 20 years ago who was a teenager on a summer temp job when these DVD's came out. Your attempt at humor was feeble and trying to rationalize it with just nonsense about construction employment is just bizarre. Why am I arguing with this? What I'm saying, it was a DUMB aesthetic move to all of the sudden change simple boxes with cheap, thin plastic like a cake decoration to make an adult series like The Simpsons look like I should open the package and find a Barney the Dinosaur DVD instead. It's unpractical on every level and juvenile looking. And of course, it wouldn't be The Simpsons of 20 years ago if they didn't blame their faults on the audience having no sense of humor.
I was going to say if it was the Homer box, I have one that was brand new. Never opened, I literally just opened it and I didn't even see the 800 number anywhere
Almost all of the deleted scenes from the movie, said to be enough for two more movies, have never been released. Although pictures were close to the movies theatrical/ DVD release were seen in magazines. Some snippets have made their way onto youtube recently. This won’t sound like lost media because it was a released Treehouse of Horror segment anyone can watch again. But an IMAX 3D version of most of Homer3 segment exists (ends before Homer entered the real world.) It was remastered, reformatted, converted into 3D, partially reanimated (due to the IMAX aspect ratio) and included in a now lost anthology movie called Cyberworld 3D. Think it was from the same studio that guest animated the CGI scenes cause those scenes filled the screens while the scenes in the house where given most of the same treatment but was in a box in the centre of the screen.
I don’t have the season 6 dvd in my collection but I have it on my dvd finding list, but how Fox home entertainment made a fixed version of the season 6 dvd case is truly a rare piece of home media to me
That Season 6 flyer wasn't in the initial release of the DVD set, it was added in the second printing. I never had the flyer, I got my replacement box when it was posted online.
@@SeekerofTheLost when I was renting the Simpsons season sets from my local library system, they actually had the fixed version of season 6 and I believe they still do. It would make sense for libraries to use the fixed version, as the Head-set would look out of place and be a huge pain in the ass for library workers as it would crowd out space on the shelves unnecessarily. I had no idea the alternate set was that rare, i've actually never seen the head box-sets in person before.
I'm quite interested in the Manjula: The futre looker-afterer minigame. She, alongside her children, are rarely given focus in the show. Did it perhaps offer some new information on them we've never seen?
The two midway games are also on posters at the attractions, so there could have been other mini games based on the other posters. It would be interesting to see the rest, because Sideshow Mel and Mr. Teeny have their own poster. It would be cool to see something focusing on Mel!
There are a few mobile games that I think are now lost media. I used to have a Simpsons game on my old LG Rumour 2 in which the Simpsons visited Itchy and Scratchy Land, and you had to fight your way out. Each character had their own type of gameplay, but I can't remember what they all were. Homer's attack was a bowling ball, Marge used her vacuum I believe, and I think Bart used his slingshot? Lisa, I have no idea. It was a fun game, I'm pretty sure it's lost now.
@@SeekerofTheLost Right after I watched your video (great stuff!) I looked up this game in question and found a let's play of it on RUclips. Looks like it isn't lost, in the sense that it seems to be available to play via emulator. It's still an interesting little game back from a time before smartphones!
I have some memories of lost Simpsons media. I remember there being an episode where Bart kicks a gaming system into the fireplace and it melts and it says it can still make him happy. I also remember there being an episode where Krusty states that in 1969, men went to the moon (shows photo of Buzz Aldrin on the moon) and that we returned to the moon in 1971 (shows Alan Shepard with a golf club). I even remembered there being an episode where Mr. Burns played Ms. Pac-Man.
Feel like some of the early episodes had bumber videos straight after the credits. I remember seeing them when the shows were first broadcast but since then I've never seen them on any DVDs / steaming.
Does anyone remember a Fox kids Simpsons Live-action special being advertised in the 90's, probably around 1998? I remember seeing a commercial for it and it was supposed to air on a Saturday morning, and I had a soccer game when I was a kid and was so bummed that I had to miss it. I have not so much as heard of a mention of this on the internet when looking for Simpsons lost media. I might be having a Mandela effect here but I swear I remember the commercial.
@@thenerdtalkpodcast9460 I've only been able to find the intro/couch gag from the 2010's. I still can't find anything about it anywhere. That's cool that you have seen it.
Yes, it's been a while, since you've seen your videos! 😀👍🏽 In my confession, I rode The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios Florida back in 2014 and 2022 respectively.
Some lost things you could do videos on-- 1. Power masters cartoon. 80s cartoon with the gijoe and transformers cast. Only three episodes aired and the toyline was gone fast. Only copy is clips of two episodes and intro on youtube. That's it! No wiki page or imdb page! 2. Young astronauts. Show and comic planned for saturday morning. Then the challenger blew up. Only one episode aired, and comic never came out. All lost. 3. Transformers and he-man and she-ra summer tour--80s event at universal studios with over 20 he-man and she-ra meet and greets complete with castle greyskull and transformers meet and greet with the ark ship and megatron statue. Only a tv ad and photos exist. No videos of the event. 4. Kidd video christmas--one hour christmas special. Aired two years only as a tv special. Both years used different christmas music videos between the segments. Cartoon is the same in both. Year 2 is on one website in awful video quality. Year one is lost. 5. Nick insults cartoon express ad--usa cartoon express was for years the highest rated block on cable. And nick slammed them for it! Late 80s to early 90s ad had a kid at the station watching for an express--"an cartoon express. It should have been here?" The ad pretty much painted nick as cool and usa and old. Ironic as nick had black and white shows like lassie on.
If you think that's a lost media, there's a lost Simpsons media that has Dutch dub, but only a few were made after it wasn't suitable for children. However, the movie was been dubbed over other countries and in The Netherlands it had both (English with NL sub and NL dub) The dub was different than the tv dub had.
The same exact thing happened with the Swedish dub. They only dubbed a few episodes but they’re all completely lost now. The dub of the movie however is available but has different voice actors.
The Simpsons were calling out fox and the republican party. But they are soo cartoonishly evil that no one listened. Gravy Boat episode at the end. What happened to fox now? $750+mil fine
After coming back from a recent trip to Universal Studios, seeing the Simpsons land included was awesome
There’s a Simpson lane !!!
There's one at Disney I think, but I don't know for sure
For those wondering what shows aired on the Bartcasting special event:
8:00am - C-Bear & Jamal
8:30am - Big Bad Beetleborgs
9:00am - Casper
9:30am - Spider-Man
10:00am - Goosebumps
10:30am - Life with Louie

I mean if he found putting DVDs on shelves difficult that's probably why he ended up in retail. 😂

Okay, good to know! Didn’t realize it wasn’t in the initial printing. Thanks for the info!
@@SeekerofTheLost Yeah, i think that's why it was so mocking, it's because they'd been getting complaints about the package.

There shockingly isn’t a whole lot!

Yes.

Man I had the Sixth Season DVD it's sorta surprising that it is lost media to some folks lol.

I got season 6 of The Simpsons the homer head version on DVD 📀. 😀👍
"Ayy caramba! The Furher!"
South Park is also a long running 🏃♀️ show
Not as long running as The Simpsons, but yes.
Treehouse of Horror was like a special, not a regular episode.
It was still the first episode of Season 8 regardless.

Not something I particularly want to talk about, but I’ve always assumed I’ll circle around to it eventually.

It’s possible. There just isn’t a ton out there. But I have an idea or two.
@@SeekerofTheLost oh nice! Have you possibly seen any South Park lost media or could have any interest in making a South Park lost media video?
Something I’ve also considered, but not on the table at the moment. Maybe in the future. I love South Park, so it’d be fun.
