The Google+ Lost Media Archive

Hi! My name's Brennan, and I used to be the moderator for a Google+ based lost media archive back before it became defunct.

Potential poster for Leonard's Big Day?

Alright so someone reached out to me with some alleged cover art for the Big Bang Theory TV movie. Not sure whether or not it's legitimate but here it is:

It's not very good quality obviously, which makes me doubt its real to be honest, but either way it's kinda neat to see something from this story.

“The Big Bang Theory: Leonard’s Big Day”

Back on the Google+ community we were searching for an alleged lost TV movie, based on the Big Bang Theory. It was called “Leonard’s Big Day”. We never were able to dig up any evidence on the film but we do have some information (which has yet to be confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt). The story was supposed to be about one of the main cast, Leonard, finding himself lost at a comic convention and hitch hiking his way home. Like most of the internet I’ve done my fair share of taking the piss out of Big Bang Theory, but I gotta admit this is an interesting story. With such an immensely popular sitcom you’d think we’d have more info on this.

Me and My Friends

This one is pretty new, but there’s been a lot of content around this one, so I’ll keep it brief.  “Me and My Friends” is a live-action pilot episode featuring “Me and My Friends” characters. This later became the series The Backyardigans. This pilot was taped at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando Florida. Little is known about this pilot, other than its contents and the names associated with it. 

A clip of “Me and My Friends” was released in a 5-minute video compilation created by former Nickelodeon crew members for its 10 year anniversary in the year 2000. There are about 3 minutes of silent video, and 8 production photos released. In my opinion, it all looks very creepy and off putting. 

Once again, I credit the Lost Media Wiki for the information in this post. They are an awesome resource!

3D Groove Games

Here’s an interesting one I’ve been taking a look at recently, “3D Groove Games”. 3D Groove Games is a developer of browser games that was active in the 2000s. Never played any of these myself but I did grow up with Flash games and the like, so this definitely piqued my interest. Operating from 1998 to 2009, they created mainly licensed games for companies, brands, and TV shows such as Radioshack, Kim Possible, and Pringles, as well as some original titles. Looking through some screenshots of their work, the games have a kind of bizarre charm to them. Very “of the time” in terms of graphics and gameplay. Take for example, “Spongebob Saves The Krusty Krab” 

Very strange-looking, but I’m sure at the time this would’ve seemed more normal. Also take a look at this weird advertisement for it.

I got all the info for this post from the Lost Media Wiki, the article can be found here: https://lostmediawiki.com/3D_Groove_Games_(partially_lost_online_games;_1998-2009)

Greetings

Hey everybody! My name is Brennan (he/him) and I’ve started this blog as a sort of resurrection of something I used to run on Google+

I’m really interested in lost media and I miss the discussions we used to have about stuff like A Day With Spongebob and Mean Girls DS. Hoping to find some old friends and make some new ones too :D
