ONE SEASON???? omg that show was ALWAYS ON when my sister was little and i thought it was so boring, no wonder why!!! it’s because they aired the same episodes over and over
I wouldn’t say that Oswald is unpopular either. Sure, it (along with many other Nick Jr shows) isn’t recognized much nowadays, but at least it was a great show for its time Even lesser known shows can still have a special place in our hearts
To be fair, I would say Oswald is average since I will agree on the fact that it wasn’t the most popular show (well here in the states) when comparing it to other Nick Junior/Noggin shows at the time (nor was it the longest running show at the time compared to Blues Clues, Little Bill, and the Backyardigans) but I wouldn’t say it wasn’t popular at all since to be fair it does have a lot reruns on different channels so people can have a chance to watch it!
It always astounds me that Oswald was part of a core four for Nick Jr (with Dora, Blue, and Little Bill), yet it’s STILL one of the shortest-running shows from the network to this day at only 26 episodes. And it’s a shame too, because it’s one of the best (if not THE best) shows Nick Jr ever aired.
@@wishbonefan Though IIRC it never aired Bebop, there was one PBS station famous for airing anime like Tenchi Muyo and Evangelion among a few others. Ofc this was late at night from my knowledge or generally way past the preschool block, but still PBS did actually air anime before to some capacity.
Don't get me wrong, I love Face, but one of my most vivid nightmares ever was about him conquering the planet and killing anyone who resisted. No I don't know why I had a vivid nightmare about a Nick Jr mascot when I was 4.
Fun fact: one of the characters (Johnny Snowman) in Oswald was voiced by the late Mel Winkler, the guy who did the voices for Aku-Aku from Crash Bandicoot 3 to Crash Twinsanity.
@@Astronomicat117Bruh, The super why pilot has already been found including the bubble guppies pilot too. Even the lost media wiki has marked these two pilots found.
I recognized the name, but couldn’t put my finger on it until I saw the pig car thing 😭😭 Edit: I also just remembered this, but whenever I used to watch that show I always used to think some of the car animals looked delicious. Like they just looked… edible. And I bet they would taste great still tbh
Huh, for me it was the opposite. I was born way after Playhouse Disney was a thing so I grew up with Disney Jr. Though, I can understand how you feel :)
I get the uncanny feeling that I saw the Cowboy Bebop-theme PBS bumper back in the day. If I remember correctly, it was just clips of animation with the theme playing over it, and the bumpers were quite short.
@@wishbonefan Bumper material, similar to the kind shown in that segment of this video. PBS Go!'s mascot and/or his sister doing random fun things. Completely disconnected from the music, it seemed like it was used as a generic jazzy track rather than PBS being aware of it's significance to Cowboy Bebop. Not really any other sound effects or audio, if I recall correctly. Just the characters silently doing fun, eye-catching activities that a kid would be able to appreciate while the track plays over it. I'd say most times the bumper played, it lasted no more than 10 seconds.
1. I like this format for lost media videos because it gives more topic variety and incentive to watch compared to something unfamiliar standalone. That being said, I'll watch either way. 2. I *really* like lost dubs in terms of finding them because while they arent technically too notable, listening to different performances of a show and how they change across countries is actually really interesting, especially when songs are involved. Personally, when looking for lost dubs, I really like the idea of "completing the series so that audiences outside of mainstream countries can re-experience it for the first time in years." There is much more to why I like lost dubs but that is the best way I can articulate my opinions.
oswald only had one season!!?!?! damn dude, i remember that show so vividly? edit: wait a sec, im from japan and i 100% have at least one of those oswald dvds somewhere... now i have to go ask my entire family about it lmao
I remember being one of the people they tested for Jungle Junction's 2008 pilot. I don't remember much about it unfortunately. I dont have anything to prove this besides my own faulty memory. At the time I had no idea I was watching what would become Jungle Junction, a show I admittedly never watched much of lol, so the memory just sort of faded for me.

There's a very small crawl space in my old bedroom with a bunch of stuff from my childhood that can't reach. I'll take a look in there for lost VHS tapes. Who knows, maybe there's something there. Update: My cousin crawled in and grabbed everything. No VHS tapes. For those interested contents included: A teddy bear, butterfly clips, socks, a pair of sandals, a pair of tap shoes, jean shorts, an arts and crafts kit, a stained glass kit for kids, two school rulers, a piano book, and a mask from the movie Scream.
@@CharacterMister Yeah we tried that and got a few stuff out. One of my old piano books, a creepy old mask from the early 2000's, Crayons with their 2000's logos, ect. There's a box in the way back and toys in the way back too. We're gonna see if my cousin is willing to go in there and get that stuff
Face was terrifying to me, took up a solid 95% of my nightmares as a kid. Something about the vacant eyes and uneasy smile put them in the uncanny valley for 5 y/o me-
Literally same bro, used to freak me right out. We didn’t have Nick Jr on our Tv so I only ever saw it at my friends or cousins. Would always run out the room, but I could still hear it from the hallway. Had seriously horrible nightmares for years, such a simple design made it impossible to forget, was literally burned into my young mind. Got a little chill seeing it in the thumbnail actually, dark blue just like the very first time I saw it. Was only 3 years old man, fucker took over the tv and was staring straight at me, talking right at me. Jarring.
That PBS Kids Cowboy Bebop bumper might be the most interesting piece of lost media I've ever seen. I grew up primarily on PBS Kids and Veggietales in the 2000s (I grew up without cable), and I can 100% imagine them using Tank for one of the bumpers. That said, I didn't watch Cowboy Bebop until high school (early to mid-2010s), so I can't confirm or deny anything.
@@HarmonyOmega I had the same issue. I had an old VHS recording of Coyote Tales, but couldn't upload it in good quality since I couldn't afford a very good video card.
Children Show pilot creators in the late 90s: Hey how about borderline nightmare fuel for children. Make all the colors dark and mute and give all the characters the worst deadeye stares. Oh, and lets get someone that's never 3d animated before.
Tbh I think there was a real reason for the strange, borderline-creepy, appearance of a children's show's pilot. As stated, the pilot was used as a test to see an audience's liking to a concept, so there may not have been a lot of money or time to develop something, which dampens the quality of these pilot episode.
@GG Videos sometimes I don't have cable so I had to set up the ol' antenna to watch some tv. But one time I got verizon I think and it came with the channel. My favorite shows were Jacob two two and Jane and the Dragon, but I watched a lot that I remember fondly today...rip qubo
Does anybody remember a Zula Patrol episode with the dialogue: "Is your moustache talking?" "What moustache?" "Is your beard taking notes?" "What beard?"
The different hosts on Blues Clues remind me of how on Sesame Street, they don't dub over Big Birds lines, but rather they've done this lore thing where the different foreign versions of Sesame Street have characters that are canonical cousins to Big Bird.
My mom and I loved Oswald when I was little (especially the dog, Weenie) I had no idea it was that unpopular and didn't air for long. It was a very wholesome show and the characters were so cute.
There was an instance where they actually used John William's Superman main theme on a Super Why! promo which idk if PBS had licensing permission to do or how they got away with it but it maybe small evidence of instances that the station used copyrighted music like Cowboy Bebop on their PBS kids promo.
I live near the area where the bumpers used for PBS Kids are from the early 2000. So maybe I can watch a few days worth of PBS kids and record every bumper lol
I just remember how warm and cozy everything looked in children’s television. It was so inviting and you felt that you could step into these shows and they didn’t condescend to kids. Of course, now everything is internet based and cold looking. But, I suppose children’s television has to change with the time, as they have to evolve in this current world just like when we were children. I hope there are parents showing their old childhood videos of shows.
Unfortunately as a homeschooled kid with a working parent I'm familiar with almost every show/media mentioned in this video, even was a big fan of a good chunk of them lol
Looking back, when I was a kid, the thing I would have wanted to do is stay home and watch TV all day. I hated my public school and no one would go outside to play in my neighborhood. Plus there was so much better content on TV in general. I watched Nick, Disney, Cartoon Network, Noggin, Qubo, Animal Planet, PBS among others. Nowadays, there is very little good content on TV. Like I rarely turn the TV on except sometimes to watch the News.
Oh I know of lost media like the PBS Bumper! It is Jontron appearing in Latin American 'Boomerang'! It was clip of Jontron dubbed to latin american Spanish, and it was the most odd thing ever. Me and my little sister remember it vividly, with Jontron 'reacting' to commercial bumpers with scenes of his videos where he wore black shirts (probably the Night shade video). This piece of lost media bumper has been eluding me so much, and I have no idea who I can talk with to start a search! I could swear someone else would talk about it, but no one ever did.
Isn't really related to lost media, but I remember when I was younger, Face scared the absolute daylights out of me. I have many VHS tapes of Blues Clues, Dora, Oswald, etc. that I would watch 27/7 when I was younger. Every time Face would appear, I would run out of the room screaming. Overtime I came to appreciate him more and more, but he still makes me uneasy sometimes lol.
“Charlie” could also have been made as Caillou is a French word(meaning “Pebble” or “Little Rock”), and they wanted to call him Charlie instead for the English version. I could be very wrong though.
I mean, given how the dub was supposedly made in 2010 (way after the series started airing in the US), I think the unlicensed dub theory is more likely.
I grew up with the UK version of Blue's Clues and didn't know it was actually a different version of the show. I watched it all the time so it's sad to hear some are lost.
The lost Face promos reminds me of that time I remember watching some Face parody on UA-cam that was made in MS Paint when Face started smoking to the viewers. The video probably no longer exists but it’s one of those videos I still remember to this day.
The Tank PBS Kids bumper is one of my most wanted pieces of lost media for how weird the concept is and how it actually existed online for one point in time and the only reason its lost is because a now private Twitter account is the only person who uploaded it online. A lot of factors that come together.
I agree, I got curious right after seeing this video so I just did the only thing that came to mind, to just search it up on yt. If I'm not mistaken, I think I found it on a channel called Yhh Jhj.
y'know i really wasn't all that creeped out whenever i saw Face. idk why, something about him was oddly comforting.. i also remember playing this game with him in it that had something to do with the alphabet. i liked Face, not sure why. can kinda see why he'd creep people out, though.
i played the face alphabet game too! the only thing that scared me was the "g is for: green" part because the noise it played made me incredibly uncomfortable, so i always skipped over g. that's the only time face ever scared me. also hello fellow bi/genderfluid person :)
It doesn't surprise me one bit that Oswald got a much better reception in Japan than here in the US. The show's aesthetic is tailor made for Japanese audiences. I'm glad that the show found a more appreciative audience than it found originally.
theres a pinky dinky doo japan dub thats lost, as of so far, no clips or full episodes are found of it, it aired on cartoon network japan's [also lost] kids block, ピぽらペポら,
Who knew the cartoon my sister sometimes watched on French Disney Junior had such a complicated lost media history? Before this video, I hadn't even *heard* of Jungle Junction (or whatever its French name was) in years!
That thumbnail reminded me of how terrified I used to be of “Face” back in the day. I grew up on VHS tapes from the 90’s despite being a mid 2000’s kid. It still unsettles me. I hope any piece of lost media relating to that eldritch horror is gone forever. I want every bumper he’s ever appeared in to stay lost
@SpaceBlox well hey when you’re a little kid a lot of harmless things can scare you. I think it’s just that I was so scared of it as a kid that I can’t really shake the terror he used to give me lol
Believe me, Im currently 22 and I still get a bit startled when I see Face. I used to have repeated nightmares about him as a kid, especially when I would watch Nick Jr in the mornings by myself since my mom would always be tired and sleeping from work. I still try to watch his promos to kinda confront this fear, but its different for everyone.
I forgot he existed. We had several VHS tapes featuring him. Of course they're gone now BC my mom never thought anything had value other than collector's edition items :/
I know exactly what you mean! I used to have recurring nightmares about Face when I was a child. I don't know what it is about it but I'm 25 now and I'm still scared lmao.
I don't know about the Caillou "Charlie" dub. It seems like some weird mandela effect the original poster had (maybe from them miss-remembering what Caillou's name was). It could actually exist, as there have been unlicensed dubs made of kid cartoons, including Caillou. Also, afew dubs of the show have actually changed Caillou's name (for example, the European Portuguese dub changed Caillou's name to "Ruca"). but for now, I'm not sure. But yeah, for more lost media related to Caillou I know, there's the British dub that aired on Cartoonito. Afew clips of the dub exist out there, but other than that it's mostly lost. There's also interestingly, a lost Turkish Caillou PC game called "Caillou Çiftlikte" ("Caillou Farm" in English). There are commercials for the game out there that have bits of gameplay. There's also a page from someone who worked on the game that shows assets from the game (including Caillou's model). Other than that, I can't find the game anywhere online. So yeah, good video mate.
Wasn't Caillou a cartoon from Quebec? If so, Caillou sounds a lot like a french name, so i'm thinking that a local station in Canada made a dub for the english - speaking majority and it somehow ended up in the USA. That's just a theory, though.
Super why,Jungle Junction,and even Caillou were my favorite childhood shows. I know a lot of people remember Caillou for obvious reasons. But I never saw anyone talking about Super why or Jungle Junction so thank you! 😁
This was an awesome video! I just wanted to amend something you said in the vid. The Uk adaptation of Blue’s Clues is actually mostly found with only a few episodes still missing, there are more missing episodes of the Portuguese adaptation and especially the Korean adaptation seeing as only 5 episodes have been found. Just wanted to let you know, a fantastic vid overall tho!
i like barely do i remembered it's name and that's it i was so young I'm surprised i even remembered it's name, "junction" is a word i would not understand for a long while
...there's this adult game called Paraphore which has a character called Minty, who appears as a simple cartoon face surrounded by a solid color void. They talk to you and sort of lead the main plot along inbetween you exploring the world. I've ALWAYS had this weird feeling that they were familiar for some reason, but couldn't put my finger on why. That was until I saw Face for the first time in 25 years and it all came back to me.
Hey man I just want to say for years growing up I watched you can constant lost media content creators and it really has become apart of me. It really gave me constant ideas and a different look on media in general. Will always love the content. If I could I'd find a way to find a preserve these such as the smash cards i love smash. Thank you for the content. - Some teenager that hopes to make a change like you Edit: Playhouse disney was my jam
@@NoGoodNameHelpPLZ it’s a british show. But it got a dub over here with a new voice cast and some script changes along with some episode titles being changed slightly.
The "Charlie" version of Caillou is really fascinating to me, assuming it's real, because it makes so little sense why this would have been made. I could see this being made when the show was first imported because the name would seem so strange. But it seems odd that this would have aired in the US over a decade after it was originally released, given how well known Caillou was already. Also, rather obscure fact, Caillou is from French Canada, and was originally in French. I'm pretty sure even the original English version is a dub (at least the earlier shorts were? Possibly the whole thing? Correct me if I'm wrong). Given this, it does seem slightly more plausible that some PBS station could have made their own dub. But it still seems strange that this is so obscure it's existence isn't even proven.
@@DenoTheSaur I just looked it up, and according to Wikipedia at least: "The series was originally broadcast in French in Canada, and the episodes were later translated into English for the U.S."
@@radiodemongodking4176 Actually, the series was also aired in English over there. The English episodes that aired over there were later broadcasted in the US.
You unlocked so many memories i had about nick jr's face! I loved that character, and is probably one of the best network mascots ive seen, Hopefully the rest of his promos are found! But can you believe he's 27 years old already? Great video man! keep up the work!
OMG FACE. Whenever I asked anyone about it they didn't know about its existence! I remember playing a game on nick jrs old website, it was a very basic game. All you did was click a color and face would change their expression to match the color. Thanks for talking about this! Now anyone I telling about face won't think im crazy
I remember being on that Charlie version of Caillou forum. I still don't know if that exists. As a Dragon Ball fan, it could be a Harmony Gold case? They could have changed the names and showed it on local stations and had it available for streaming in that area. Also, seeing Jungle Junction and Oswald: Childhood memories unlocked lol
This comment section restored my hope in Oswald. Felt like I was alone in it being my favorite as a child. I can hear Weenie’s barks in my head to this day, such a great show.

I thought Jungle Junction aired on Disney Junior in the Early 2010s loo
Oswald wasn’t popular!? I was obsessed with that show when I was a baby, I didn’t know it only had one season
The theme song is beautiful
I liked that show too. It was very heartwarming
ONE SEASON???? omg that show was ALWAYS ON when my sister was little and i thought it was so boring, no wonder why!!! it’s because they aired the same episodes over and over

I loved Oswald when I was little!
Man Oswald, was such a relaxing and welcoming show to watch.
i remember the episode where he got his haircut
I miss Oswald it was so adorable 🥺
Oswald was awesome
That show was weird, tbh
I remember watching the show about the wholesome octopus back in my day.
I disagree that Oswald was “unpopular” ngl. yeah it didn’t run for the longest time but I remember nickelodeon airing reruns quite often
Me too I watched that a lot.
I remember watching a Cbeebies disk with lots of episodes from random shows and Oswald was one of them so i think it ran on Cbeebies too

that sounds like a YTP title.
YTP: Face conquers the world for The Empire
I was terrified of Nick Jr Face as well at 4-7. I think it was mainly due to how close up Face was.

I grew up primarily on PBS Kids and Veggietales in the 2000s (I grew up without cable), and I can 100% imagine them using Tank for one of the bumpers. That said, I didn't watch Cowboy Bebop until high school (early to mid-2010s), so I can't confirm or deny anything.
Similar to the Cowboy Bebop OP, a few weeks ago TBS was using the Pokémon BW2 Nimbasa gym theme in a Friends ad
can you send the link to the video
Link?
i wanna see it
Can’t find it, it played around the time the friends anniversary came out
Lmao
I have all 8 volumes of the japanese Oswald VHS tapes. I just haven't gotten to doing proper stereo rips of all of them.
Suree
If you say so..
@@HarmonyOmega I had the same issue. I had an old VHS recording of Coyote Tales, but couldn't upload it in good quality since I couldn't afford a very good video card.
I hope you can get them up somewhere!
@@HarmonyOmega I don’t see it on ur channel lol EDIT : I saw them now now she/he is ripping them
Dude. I can’t begin to explain how much I enjoyed this video. What a blast to the past. Just subscribed and hope to see much more from you bro.

ZACH!
It was a blast into the past
Hi
Children Show pilot creators in the late 90s: Hey how about borderline nightmare fuel for children. Make all the colors dark and mute and give all the characters the worst deadeye stares. Oh, and lets get someone that's never 3d animated before.
Lol
Tbh I think there was a real reason for the strange, borderline-creepy, appearance of a children's show's pilot. As stated, the pilot was used as a test to see an audience's liking to a concept, so there may not have been a lot of money or time to develop something, which dampens the quality of these pilot episode.
What are even you talking about
There’s just something about the sentence “A bald head kid with a short temper who was criticized over the years for being betrayed in the show”😭
Playhouse Disney and Nick Jr were both my childhood. I remember both watching the channels when I was little
I remember Playhouse Disney and Late 2000s Nick Jr
I only ever watched PBS Kids, not because we didn't have cable, but because I hated all the other channels.
Noggin was where it was at
Anyone remember Qubo
@GG Videos sometimes I don't have cable so I had to set up the ol' antenna to watch some tv. But one time I got verizon I think and it came with the channel. My favorite shows were Jacob two two and Jane and the Dragon, but I watched a lot that I remember fondly today...rip qubo
Hearing that Oswald was unpopular breaks my old heart. Loved that show growing up
Does anybody remember a Zula Patrol episode with the dialogue:
"Is your moustache talking?"
"What moustache?"
"Is your beard taking notes?"
"What beard?"
Holy shit, you really just unlocked a core memory from my early childhood
OMG! I remember Zula Patrol 😲😱🥺😁
@@nixienooo I can't find/remember the name of that episode but I'm glad I'm not delusional.😆
@@SofiaPreCure It was awesome😁
I used to watch that all the time when it would air
The different hosts on Blues Clues remind me of how on Sesame Street, they don't dub over Big Birds lines, but rather they've done this lore thing where the different foreign versions of Sesame Street have characters that are canonical cousins to Big Bird.
My mom and I loved Oswald when I was little (especially the dog, Weenie) I had no idea it was that unpopular and didn't air for long. It was a very wholesome show and the characters were so cute.
There was an instance where they actually used John William's Superman main theme on a Super Why! promo which idk if PBS had licensing permission to do or how they got away with it but it maybe small evidence of instances that the station used copyrighted music like Cowboy Bebop on their PBS kids promo.
And there was like a curious George ad with the song Tarzan boy by Baltimora in it that a remember seeing
There was a Caillou promo that had Girls Just Wanna Have Fun playing in it.
There's a fairly infamous bumper with a gorillaz song in it.
@@daemon3582 the WBGU magician bumper!
@@alizardhotel yeah, that's what it was called. Probably the reason why I'm so into 2-Step and Dub music nowadays.
Cowboy Bebop + PBS Kids?
Wha?
Wow, this is the first time I've heard those two words in a setence. XD
I live near the area where the bumpers used for PBS Kids are from the early 2000. So maybe I can watch a few days worth of PBS kids and record every bumper lol
I just remember how warm and cozy everything looked in children’s television. It was so inviting and you felt that you could step into these shows and they didn’t condescend to kids. Of course, now everything is internet based and cold looking. But, I suppose children’s television has to change with the time, as they have to evolve in this current world just like when we were children. I hope there are parents showing their old childhood videos of shows.
Oswald was unpopular
*Me looking at my Oswald plush I have: Oh
Speaking of those Oswald plushies they are hard to find and when listed on eBay they go up to 3 didgets
@@wubbzyandsesamestreetfangirl Yeah I got mine for $80
Unfortunately as a homeschooled kid with a working parent I'm familiar with almost every show/media mentioned in this video, even was a big fan of a good chunk of them lol
How is that unfortunate?
I don't understand what's unfortunate about that or why you mentioned that you were home schooled.
@@hypnotised-clover I wouldn't have been able to watch as much TV if I wasn't at home and instead at public school, I thought that was obvious
Looking back, when I was a kid, the thing I would have wanted to do is stay home and watch TV all day. I hated my public school and no one would go outside to play in my neighborhood. Plus there was so much better content on TV in general. I watched Nick, Disney, Cartoon Network, Noggin, Qubo, Animal Planet, PBS among others. Nowadays, there is very little good content on TV. Like I rarely turn the TV on except sometimes to watch the News.
@@Jaheartsjonas Werent you busy with schoolwork though?
The pilot of Bob the Builder is very interesting. Early Bob looked a lot more like fireman Sam.
Early bob looks like some weird uncle. I like the one that we got
But we don't talk about the redesign for 2019
@@ToppetREAL the redesign for 2014 really.
@@SlapstickGenius23 The redesign for 2015 actually
i was thinking the same thing?? i was like damn did they just take this model and use it as a concept for fireman sam??
Was just thinking that too!🤣
Oh I know of lost media like the PBS Bumper! It is Jontron appearing in Latin American 'Boomerang'! It was clip of Jontron dubbed to latin american Spanish, and it was the most odd thing ever. Me and my little sister remember it vividly, with Jontron 'reacting' to commercial bumpers with scenes of his videos where he wore black shirts (probably the Night shade video). This piece of lost media bumper has been eluding me so much, and I have no idea who I can talk with to start a search! I could swear someone else would talk about it, but no one ever did.
Can we ask him directly?
The idea of this so funny to me, do you around what years It would’ve aired?
@@thesnerg8691 Maybe 2013? Anywhere from 2012 to 2015
Qué.
Yo veía mucho Boomerang en esos años y no recuerdo absolutamente nada de eso
Y’all remember “Ooh, Aah, & you” on Disney?
I remember my brother watching Jungle Junction. Such a creepy show about animals with wheels for legs.
Isn't really related to lost media, but I remember when I was younger, Face scared the absolute daylights out of me. I have many VHS tapes of Blues Clues, Dora, Oswald, etc. that I would watch 27/7 when I was younger. Every time Face would appear, I would run out of the room screaming. Overtime I came to appreciate him more and more, but he still makes me uneasy sometimes lol.
same dude
Same, good to know I wasn't alone when I was a kid lol.
You're not the only one lol
Holy crap I was the same way with both Face and the PBS P-Pals bumpers on my Teletubbies tapes!
I loved Face, His voice was soothing sometimes
“Charlie” could also have been made as Caillou is a French word(meaning “Pebble” or “Little Rock”), and they wanted to call him Charlie instead for the English version. I could be very wrong though.
I mean, given how the dub was supposedly made in 2010 (way after the series started airing in the US), I think the unlicensed dub theory is more likely.
@@DenoTheSaur Yes, I agree, I was explaining the reasoning for the illegal dub changing the name
@@BinglesP Ok
As soon as I saw Jungle Junction, Oswald, and the face (I can't remember his name) I got chucked right down memory lane.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure his name was Face.
@@zeiicypher6667 it is
OH MY GOD ALL THESE SHOWS HIT ME LIKE A FUCKING TRAIN AND IM NOT EVEN AN ADULT YET
I completely forgot Jungle Junction existed until you mentioned it lol
Yooo me too
I grew up with the UK version of Blue's Clues and didn't know it was actually a different version of the show. I watched it all the time so it's sad to hear some are lost.
I swear we had Steve in the UK version
Just found out that the series was actually found in its entirety.
The lost Face promos reminds me of that time I remember watching some Face parody on UA-cam that was made in MS Paint when Face started smoking to the viewers. The video probably no longer exists but it’s one of those videos I still remember to this day.
The Tank PBS Kids bumper is one of my most wanted pieces of lost media for how weird the concept is and how it actually existed online for one point in time and the only reason its lost is because a now private Twitter account is the only person who uploaded it online. A lot of factors that come together.
I agree, I got curious right after seeing this video so I just did the only thing that came to mind, to just search it up on yt. If I'm not mistaken, I think I found it on a channel called Yhh Jhj.
@@BrendaHernandez-qo2rk I just looked and yeah its been found and reuploaded. It was on Vimeo all this time apparently. Weird.
y'know i really wasn't all that creeped out whenever i saw Face. idk why, something about him was oddly comforting.. i also remember playing this game with him in it that had something to do with the alphabet. i liked Face, not sure why. can kinda see why he'd creep people out, though.
i watched a video with that alphabet too
I'm surprised that he creeped anyone out tbh.
i played the face alphabet game too! the only thing that scared me was the "g is for: green" part because the noise it played made me incredibly uncomfortable, so i always skipped over g. that's the only time face ever scared me.
also hello fellow bi/genderfluid person :)
It doesn't surprise me one bit that Oswald got a much better reception in Japan than here in the US. The show's aesthetic is tailor made for Japanese audiences. I'm glad that the show found a more appreciative audience than it found originally.
I love Oswald and it's soundtrack. I wish it had more hype. Hopefully it will get a gust of fandom like Backyardigans
And paw patrol
I can't believe I went "Ah!" every time you cut to a clip of Face, you'd think I'd grow out of that fear
So Bob got 250 episodes but Invader Zim was cancelled after 27? This is the worst timeline!
Bro nickelodeon need to do a reboot for invader zim if you ask me
To be fair Nick didn't own Bob the Builder, they just had US broadcasting rights to the show
Zim belonged on adult swim. Nickelodeon never appreciated it.
Man i remember those days when Bob was on Nick/Nick Jr I think in 04 or 05 it moved to PBS stations and it was on a channel called [PBS Kids Sprout]
@@J0SHUAKANE And parents probably complained about it too.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the original Cyberchase Pilot being found and archived
Oooh, it's interesting that Bob's pilot design looks similar to how he looks in the reboot Bob The Builder!
theres a pinky dinky doo japan dub thats lost, as of so far, no clips or full episodes are found of it,
it aired on cartoon network japan's [also lost] kids block, ピぽらペポら,
Wow, I thought that show was a fever dream I had once, good to know I wasn’t hallucinating!
Ooh! I remember Pinky Dinky Doo it used to be on Noggin and Nick Jr back in 2009 or 2012
Cadence
I remember that show i used to watch it all the time when i was in pre k before school 😔
Who knew the cartoon my sister sometimes watched on French Disney Junior had such a complicated lost media history? Before this video, I hadn't even *heard* of Jungle Junction (or whatever its French name was) in years!
@The 7D & Jungle Junction Multilanguage Finder I think he means the Canadian French Disney Junior
@@chrissanchez4735 no he means french disney junior as he's from france
That thumbnail reminded me of how terrified I used to be of “Face” back in the day. I grew up on VHS tapes from the 90’s despite being a mid 2000’s kid. It still unsettles me. I hope any piece of lost media relating to that eldritch horror is gone forever. I want every bumper he’s ever appeared in to stay lost
Lol face from the OG 90s and early 00s Nick Jr brings back nostalgia imo
@SpaceBlox well hey when you’re a little kid a lot of harmless things can scare you. I think it’s just that I was so scared of it as a kid that I can’t really shake the terror he used to give me lol
Believe me, Im currently 22 and I still get a bit startled when I see Face. I used to have repeated nightmares about him as a kid, especially when I would watch Nick Jr in the mornings by myself since my mom would always be tired and sleeping from work. I still try to watch his promos to kinda confront this fear, but its different for everyone.
I forgot he existed. We had several VHS tapes featuring him. Of course they're gone now BC my mom never thought anything had value other than collector's edition items :/
I know exactly what you mean! I used to have recurring nightmares about Face when I was a child. I don't know what it is about it but I'm 25 now and I'm still scared lmao.
Ah, the nick jr. Face.
I remember some of their bits.
They like peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Yea,and it could change colors
Oswald is underrated and that is a hill I'm willing to die on
I thought Oswald was a dream I had once.
You’re Still Asleep
Oswald's animation felt so modern for a 2001 toon tbh.
I remember he used to have 2 BBF's one penguin named Henry and a flower named Daisy.
Yes, you are asleep. I don’t know how you will see this message, for it is sent from the real world, but I’m serious. It’s time to wake up.
I don't know about the Caillou "Charlie" dub. It seems like some weird mandela effect the original poster had (maybe from them miss-remembering what Caillou's name was).
It could actually exist, as there have been unlicensed dubs made of kid cartoons, including Caillou. Also, afew dubs of the show have actually changed Caillou's name (for example, the European Portuguese dub changed Caillou's name to "Ruca"). but for now, I'm not sure.
But yeah, for more lost media related to Caillou I know, there's the British dub that aired on Cartoonito. Afew clips of the dub exist out there, but other than that it's mostly lost. There's also interestingly, a lost Turkish Caillou PC game called "Caillou Çiftlikte" ("Caillou Farm" in English). There are commercials for the game out there that have bits of gameplay. There's also a page from someone who worked on the game that shows assets from the game (including Caillou's model). Other than that, I can't find the game anywhere online. So yeah, good video mate.
Or Maybe They Changed It To That Beacuse They Needed Permission From The Creator Of Charlie Brown So They Can Change The Name From Cailou To Charlie
All I know is that Caillou is grounded grounded grounded!!!
@@caucasoidape8838 ok
Wasn't Caillou a cartoon from Quebec? If so, Caillou sounds a lot like a french name, so i'm thinking that a local station in Canada made a dub for the english - speaking majority and it somehow ended up in the USA. That's just a theory, though.
Never in my life did I think I would see a Caillou expert. Thanks for the info!
The Cowboy Bebop theme on PBS is ringing a bell somewhere in my brain.
Face opens for lazy Town sounds like a odd fanfic off of watt pad.
Numberlocks
Super why,Jungle Junction,and even Caillou were my favorite childhood shows. I know a lot of people remember Caillou for obvious reasons. But I never saw anyone talking about Super why or Jungle Junction so thank you! 😁
Man, it's so good to see lots of Oswald fans here. I remember loving the show do much as a kid! Peak comfy.
This was an awesome video! I just wanted to amend something you said in the vid. The Uk adaptation of Blue’s Clues is actually mostly found with only a few episodes still missing, there are more missing episodes of the Portuguese adaptation and especially the Korean adaptation seeing as only 5 episodes have been found. Just wanted to let you know, a fantastic vid overall tho!
Holy crud i remember jungle junction! I had no clue it had lost media
I actually remember alot about that show as well. I didn't know the show had a fairly long development history and three pilots.
i like barely do
i remembered it's name and that's it i was so young
I'm surprised i even remembered it's name, "junction" is a word i would not understand for a long while
@lily or something my baby brother watches Pocoyo on Netflix.
You really unlocked a deeply forgotten memory in my head when you said "jungle junction"
I loved Oswald as a kid. He is very cute ^-^
Also oh my gosh i need that plush of the dog lol
The only remaining shred of memory I had about Jungle Junction is the blue elephant saying “Jungle Junction” from the intro lol
Same
Yeah
I thought the Nick Jr face was just a false memory, but it turns out it’s real :)
That’s good, it turns out I don’t have a terrible memory.
awww I'm so upset to hear that UK Blue's Clues is partially lost! I loved that show so much as a child! I'm actually devastated
...there's this adult game called Paraphore which has a character called Minty, who appears as a simple cartoon face surrounded by a solid color void. They talk to you and sort of lead the main plot along inbetween you exploring the world. I've ALWAYS had this weird feeling that they were familiar for some reason, but couldn't put my finger on why.
That was until I saw Face for the first time in 25 years and it all came back to me.
My brother used to love Jungle Junction! It was actually pretty cute, dang
you've awoken so many lost memories in me oh my god
Hey man I just want to say for years growing up I watched you can constant lost media content creators and it really has become apart of me. It really gave me constant ideas and a different look on media in general. Will always love the content. If I could I'd find a way to find a preserve these such as the smash cards i love smash. Thank you for the content. - Some teenager that hopes to make a change like you

Pretty cool that Bob the builder was shipped over to the US
I agree I liked the USA Bob The Builder dub and i thought Muck was a girl tbh 😂
The UK dub is miles better though
Isn't it American?
(I watch the arabic dub as a kid so no I wouldn't be able to tell from the accent)
@@NoGoodNameHelpPLZ it’s a british show. But it got a dub over here with a new voice cast and some script changes along with some episode titles being changed slightly.
@@masterfuloishere weird

@@bewearstar9462 Oswald was a British show ????
@@wubbzyandsesamestreetfangirl yes it got a usa dub however
@@bewearstar9462 that’s the one I grew up with because I’m from USA
Ah today’s a good day, as we get a longer LSSQ video. Gonna sit down to watch this later, that explains the content of the late night streams
The "Charlie" version of Caillou is really fascinating to me, assuming it's real, because it makes so little sense why this would have been made. I could see this being made when the show was first imported because the name would seem so strange. But it seems odd that this would have aired in the US over a decade after it was originally released, given how well known Caillou was already.
Also, rather obscure fact, Caillou is from French Canada, and was originally in French. I'm pretty sure even the original English version is a dub (at least the earlier shorts were? Possibly the whole thing? Correct me if I'm wrong). Given this, it does seem slightly more plausible that some PBS station could have made their own dub. But it still seems strange that this is so obscure it's existence isn't even proven.
I think Caillou had a british dub once
I think the Caillou TV show was produced both in English and French, but the original books were produced in French.
@@DenoTheSaur I just looked it up, and according to Wikipedia at least:
"The series was originally broadcast in French in Canada, and the episodes were later translated into English for the U.S."
@@radiodemongodking4176 Actually, the series was also aired in English over there. The English episodes that aired over there were later broadcasted in the US.

I loved that character, and is probably one of the best network mascots ive seen,
Hopefully the rest of his promos are found!
But can you believe he's 27 years old already?
Great video man! keep up the work!
OMG FACE. Whenever I asked anyone about it they didn't know about its existence! I remember playing a game on nick jrs old website, it was a very basic game. All you did was click a color and face would change their expression to match the color. Thanks for talking about this! Now anyone I telling about face won't think im crazy
I remember being on that Charlie version of Caillou forum. I still don't know if that exists. As a Dragon Ball fan, it could be a Harmony Gold case? They could have changed the names and showed it on local stations and had it available for streaming in that area. Also, seeing Jungle Junction and Oswald: Childhood memories unlocked lol
Wow that Cowboy Bebop thing was very interesting, I never heard about that. Also I like the new format!
I agree!
the amount of nostalgia this video brings me is impeccable
Oh wow. I think I’m gonna cry from the nostalgia blast
I loved Oswald when it was on as a kid I had no clue it was unpopular but makes sense I rarely hear anyone talk about it

I like "Caillou" a lot, since I was a kid, brings good old memories, and I didn't knew there was a unaired pilot till now. Thanks for the video.
This comment section restored my hope in Oswald. Felt like I was alone in it being my favorite as a child. I can hear Weenie’s barks in my head to this day, such a great show.
