I seek knowledge, I must know, what show is your white whale?
Fame L.A. It ran for 22 episodes back in 1997/98, was never released for home viewing and now is practically lost media bar a few clips online. I have spent many an hour searching the depths of the internet for it, nada. There are traces of where it once was hosted, but all those links are now completely defunct.
My only hope now is that someone recorded it on vhs back when it was broadcast and will eventually rip it and put it in the VHS vault on the internet archive or something (or, I work out how to get a hold of stuff from the Broadcast Archive in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm because they have the full run of it, but it's not publicly available, you have to have a research reason as to why you want to view it, and then you can only view it on their equipment in the library to boot!)
#can you tell how deep into the depths of the internet my searches have gone? 😆#it surprises me how unknown and unavailable this spinoff is considering the popularity of the original film and series#you can easily obtain the 1980 movie the 1982 series AND the 2009 reboot movie#but the 1997 series? NOPE! it has been squirrelled away swept under the rug and it's very existence all but denied!#(and yes i only want it because its christian kane's first acting role. i don't care how awful it is!)#(my kane filmography collection has a hole in it!)#(i would also like to find rescue 77 in better quality than an awful camcorder recording of a tv screen but at least i have that!)#anyway excuse the ramble!
