What's this about a microwave pacemaker? Never heard about that before. I do know there was one ALF clip-show episode that featured an electrocution scene in the original airing that hasn't been seen since.
Also there's one episode of Drew Carey Show where only the edited syndicated version has been found-"What's Wrong With This Episode II"?
Golden Girls—in the season 5 episode Like The Beep Beep Beep of the Tom Tom, there was a scene where Sophia wanted to use the microwave to make popcorn after Blanche had a pacemaker installed and the other girls had to explain why the microwave got taken away. That got cut because of Disney being afraid of a lawsuit or something. Then later on, Blanche is being all dramatic and then Sophia chimes in “who’s for popcorn?” Which gets a big audience reaction. youtu.be/hVaeAvfFnyA?si=DU9KjPhVnmJVAMCY
Why is this thread so off topic and talking about a million other topics not related to Family Matters? Let's please get back on topics before this is locked for going so off topic. If you want to talk about your other shows and stuff please make a thread for more traction to that show and not clog this one up. Thank you

i took the small effort for you guys to compile a list of all the Family Matters original broadcast airings that are currently available on myspleen, if you need something from it, just yell.
all of these are complete with their intro/end credits and commercials
Family Matters “Boom!” (PREMIERE) September 20, 1991 Family Matters “Daddy’s Little Girl” (PREMIERE) October 18, 1991 Family Matters "Brain over Brawn" (PREMIERE) September 27, 1991 Family Matters "Best Friends" (PREMIERE) October 29, 1993 Family Matters "Taking Credit" (PREMIERE) March 15, 1991 Family Matters "Life of the Party" (PREMIERE) February 8, 1991 Family Matters "Cousin Urkel" (PREMIERE) November 2, 1990 Family Matters "Dedicated to the One I Love" (PREMIERE) November 9, 1990 Family Matters "The Science Project" (PREMIERE) November 16, 1990 Family Matters "Rock Video" (PREMIERE) April 27, 1990 Family Matters "The Good, the Bad, and the Urkel" (PREMIERE) April 26, 1991 Family Matters "The Show Must Go On" (PREMIERE) October 4, 1991 Family Matters "Dream Date" (PREMIERE) April 26, 1996 Family Matters "Lost in Space" Part 1 (PREMIERE) July 10, 1998 Family Matters "Lost in Space" Part 2 (PREMIERE) July 17, 1998 Family Matters "Surely You Joust" (PREMIERE) September 18, 1992 Family Matters "Stevil II: This Time He's Not Alone" (PREMIERE) October 31, 1997
I don't have a majority of these. These should go in a file sharing folder. Especially the two-part finale, as CBS Block Party programming is rare. Google Drive would be a good place to put them, although any file service works.
Consider the amount of lost promotional material TGIF and CBS Block Party has. Most, if not, every week had an intro, interval, and outro.
As for Rachel's Place/Rachel's First Date, I will continue to browse through the Internet and let the forum know if there are any new leads.

Ok thank you, if you can find other TGIF original broadcasts(I.E. Full House, Sabrina the Teenage Witch)that would be appreciated as well.
I am not trying to stray off topic. But I really wish the MySpleen episodes were from mostly season 6 and 7 because for whatever reason, there are a handful of episodes that run barely 21:50 or even shorter. What the HELL? The only one from s7 on MySpleen is Dream Date and hopefully if that one runs unacceptably short, then the original airing has stuff that hasn’t been seen since 96.
So I checked the Paley Center for Media as they have tons of original broadcasts in their archive. They do have it!!! And a few other original broadcasts as well. Such as the season 6 premiere, and the season 8 Christmas episode. But they can’t sell me a copy. I am not sure why they just *can’t*, if I’m willing to pay for it. And that is EXTREMELY frustrating. Is there a reason why?
Does anyone have runtimes for the ABC Family (Freeform) or TBS reruns? That would help a lot. Funny how on ABC Family, the version of Number One with a Bullet had scenes that weren’t even included on the (syndicated) DVD print rerelease. Carl refusing to play poker for money, telling the doctor he’s not a rich man but really wants a better hospital room, Judy and Richie arguing over who found the flower bouquet, a couple extra lines from Murtaugh …
I checked TBS’s website and it has the episodes available for streaming but it doesn’t have an exact run time unless you download the app and plus they’re all expiring.
God why does the Paley Center have to be so far away
Also, the total length of the original broadcasts on their archives are almost 30 minutes long. Like maybe 26-27, with all the commercials listed. How would I be able to find the original run times based on that? Commercials are usually 30 seconds long and I multiplied that by the number listed. It’s frustrating how some episodes run WAY too short (aka season 6 The Gun) and there’s no way to see if it was that way the whole time.

Like anything, copyright. In theory, Paley Center Archive recordings are possible by camera or phone, such as with the Rocket Power pilot. Unfortunately, I don't have all of the details for a higher quality recording.
As for the TBS website, Rachel's Place is not on there. However, I checked Rachel's First Date, and it has the Steve Urkel cold open. So, the original cold open is still lost.
I wish someone who lived walking distance from the Paley center happens to see this and videotapes that episode. I also feel like something is missing from the season 8 Christmas episode as well, but since it’s been remastered into HD, it has to be the true original film reel. When Steve lights one of his 3 matches in his survival kit and accidentally sneezes it out, he successfully lights the second one. Just seems like something’s missing.
