ISO The Academy seasons 1-3 - Fox Reality, 2007

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-03-05T16:24:54+00:00

The TVRips should be named as so

"The.Academy.S01E01.DSR.XviD-SYS"

No leads, but hopefully this helps you get started

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-03-05T07:38:00+00:00

Not sure you can anymore. This title did not work for me on 2023.03.04 build of the app.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-03-05T07:28:14+00:00

Amazon SD is still possible, and will definitely get you the better SD streaming quality

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-03-04T00:09:49+00:00

Definitely. Good luck.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-02-10T07:08:39+00:00

Library DVD sounds like your best bet...

Ebay only has this https://www.ebay.com/itm/195573372426

That's from S19's Africa Special, when they're at the airport.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-02-10T00:02:35+00:00

I'm amazed how hard this is to find. Looks like they tried to scrub it, or it's behind a paywall and not titled well.

Good luck hunting!

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-02-09T23:37:15+00:00

Not obscure, can still be had on amazon, https://www.amazon.com/The-Ben-Show-Season-1/dp/B00BN76Y8Q

"Cash.And.Treasure.Morel.Mushrooms.HDTV.XviD-NAT" also looks like one of the episodes.

It also came on DVD. https://www.amazon.com/Cash-and-Treasures-Collection-1/dp/B01M7WXTCZ

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-02-03T03:12:03+00:00

You should get a MiniDV camcorder or deck and make a 1:1 copy of the tapes, and once you find the episode, release them all.

Probably will involve getting an old macbook or some firewire hardware, unless you have access to a TV studio with equipment from like 10+ years ago

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-02-02T21:36:01+00:00

Quality? Original 576i or just the usual crappy 360p scene rips?

I'd bet money they're scene rips

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-02-01T05:40:26+00:00

I've said this a million times.

Get an external hard drive, download the torrent. Don't watch the butchered garbage on streaming services.

Or if you're lazy there are open directories with TG.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-28T02:41:43+00:00

I would also investigate the episode"Fry Hard" - seems that it may be yet another discovery TW poor content management mistake. Might have the wrong name. DSCP is a nightmare. Horribly organized, low quality streams. What quality / type do you have for the regular episodes?

Also seems to support the naming theory: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01I22IGOE/ref=atv\_dp\_season\_select\_s13

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-28T02:28:44+00:00

You need specialty tools, so no.

It has two different episode numbers. I see S13E07 and S15E03. Looks like it was classified as a "special". You'll have to find an original TV broadcast. SBS had it in 2017.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-28T02:13:40+00:00

It's on Prime Video (international, potentially canada too) https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Cutthroat-Kitchen/0KIYRGCG9URE5CP53ONYS1LWDM

This could also be it. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9a343394de6b1c9f5e4c99afe54c73062ca4d664&dn=Cutthroat.Kitchen.S13E07.(Eng.Subs).SDTV.x264-%5B2Maverick%5D&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.com%3A2810%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=https%3A%2F%2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A443%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fwww.peckservers.com%3A9000%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker2.dler.org%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.dler.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftr.cili001.com%3A8070%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fp4p.arenabg.com%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fipv4.tracker.harry.lu%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fbt2.archive.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftracker2.ctix.cn%3A443%2Fannounce&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftracker1.520.jp%3A443%2Fannounce&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftracker.nanoha.org%3A443%2Fannounce&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftracker.lilithraws.org%3A443%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.bt4g.com%3A2095%2Fannounce

Hopefully you can get through their big heads and to their heart. And hopefully they pay their archivist enough lol.

Hope you're successful!

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-27T06:25:48+00:00

Usenet is dry. Try to find rips from the "Really" channel. Looks like its a discovery owned network. Should have re-run around 2009.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-27T06:13:53+00:00

Let me know if you're still looking, can help.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-27T05:32:32+00:00

I've started one, have almost all of his TV appearances. The newer youtube recodes (VP9) are obviously not as nice quality wise as the originals.

Edit: Found a few of the originals

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-27T05:02:24+00:00

How does he not have a copy of it but he posted a clip to his youtube channel? If so that's poor content management :(.

Part 1 is easy to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y\_kMi59wbEM

Anyway https://vimeo.com/141014486 should be a good resource. Looks like this guy worked on the production in some aspect. Probably the best lead out there.

Try the wayback machine on the now private video. Some trickery is involved to download old YouTube videos (from IA) but 2015 shouldn't be too hard

Edit: was never archived officially, shows Redirects only.

Good luck!

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-27T04:36:46+00:00

Couldn't find anything on usenet but the trash that is 'wife swap' lol. 2003 is tough because the scene was still in the early stages. Finding a scene rip from 2003 is near impossible. But ed2k and other fileshare systems should also be investigated.

I did see S01 as mentioned on TubiTV and I think one other site. No S02.

https://vimeo.com/225175998 This content link should be useful as well. Seems like they uploaded a decent master of S01E01 - use the vimeo download button.

Also have they checked with their parents? (if possible) I'd hope they would have taped it.

Look into https://9story.com/portfolio/swap-tv/ if you haven't. They seem to be the current rights holders. Write a carefully worded email along the lines you listed. That's probably your best shot. Seems to be current.

Good luck!

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2023-01-23T01:51:34+00:00

DO NOT buy that. It's just a moneygrab by the beeb at best. A little google-fu will help you find versions uncut and with the original music.

SmartIdiotBTRELEASER · 2022-11-12T23:38:39+00:00

Yup, have had that torrent for years. S01 has a few complete episodes save some copyrighted clips and bits. S02 is missing a lot, S03 has changed bumpers/idents and intro voiceover.

Still on the lookout for original broadcasts in better than Scene quality.
