Line 206:
* ''[[Square One TV]]''
** Same for ''[[3-2-1 Contact]]''. Broadcasters actually encouraged taping of the show. A handful of episodes were commercially released on VHS, but they're [[Crack is Cheaper|very expensive]] now. Worse, the first season is older than VHS, so many of its episodes, especially those that weren't rebroadcast later, have been [[Missing Episode|lost forever]].
* There was a 1990s PBS miniseries called ''[[The United States Of Poetry]]'' that featured poems being read by the authors and widely varied cinematography like artistic music videos. You may be able to find a VHS copy languishing in your local library, but otherwise it's gone — although, oddly, its very dated [https://web.archive.org/web/20081204053313/http://www.worldofpoetry.org/usop/ website] is still being hosted.
* ''[[Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?]]?'', and all of the original tunes by Rockapella that its episodes included. Ditto its successor series ''[[Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego?]]?''
* ''WonderWorks'' was a joint PBS/Disney series that created short made-for-TV movies based on acclaimed children's books, such as ''Jacob Have I Loved'', ''Bridge to Terebithia'', and ''The Hoboken Chicken Emergency''. It also brought several BBC miniseries adaptations of classic kidlit to the U.S. Despite most of the films seeing release on VHS (some were also fixtures of [[The Disney Channel]] in [[The Eighties]], such as ''The Boy Who Loved Trolls'' and ''How to Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days''), only a few have seen the light of day on DVD, and never under the ''WonderWorks'' banner. (These include the first two titles mentioned and the BBC adaptations of ''A Little Princess'' and ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''.)
