Questions for People With Old [as] Tapes

[RogerSmith2004]

Does anyone happen to have the TV ratings (TV-PG-L/TV-14-V) of old [as] shows? Particularly Yu Yu Hakusho, s-CRY-ed, Wolf's Rain, Witch Hunter Robin, Blue Gender, Trigun, Kikaider, Mission Hill, The Oblongs, Reign the Conqueror, Case Closed, Super Milk Chan, and Pilot Candidate? Any of the ratings for those shows would be of help. You don't need the whole series, just any episodes you may have.

What an odd request

Somehow, I thought each episode could be rated differently. But I think I have at least one episode of most of those shows. Not sure how quickly I can find them, though. I'm  pretty certain I have no trace of Pilot Candidate, I've admitted before I was not an instant Action fan. Also, for the same reason, I don't personally recall YYH being on AS. I think I may have some beginning clips of it from Kenshin over-run tapings which would be enough to get the rating but it would be from either the Toonami or SVES programming blocks, not AS.

Yes, I am aware it is a rather odd request, however I have most of the other [as] shows except for the ones I've mentioned. Yu Yu Hakusho first aired on [as] in 2002-2003, then was moved to Toonami. I know on Toonami it was TV-Y7-FV. Anyhow, if you could find any ratings for the shows, I would like to know what episode it was as well, if you know that. Thank you for the help!

The only episodes for [as] Yu Yu Hakusho I have are:
1. TV-PG-L
2. TV-PG-L
3. TV-PG-V
4. TV-PG-L
5. TV-PG-V
6. TV-PG-LV
7. TV-PG-V
8. TV-PG-LV
16. TV-14
18. TV-14

So, yeah, it does vary with each respective episode.

Might I ask why you want these ratings?

Might I ask why you want these ratings?

The reason I want these ratings is so I can get an idea of how Cartoon Network rated these shows back then. I collect TV ratings for [as] shows, so it is a bit of a hobby.

Also, thanks NumyMufn for the ratings. I really appreciate it.

I think all of us granted HELPeRdom have odd hobbies

I was just trying to date some Witch Hunter Robin that I just transferred to DVD, eps 17-24, and I realized I was going to have to burn a whole disc for the last two episodes. I started wondering what else was on that tape and would I want to mix it up with WHR... I was afraid to hope... knowing full well how close I was... but I discovered that I have the moustache episode from April Fools 2004  I had dared to hope the whole night might be on there, but it's the first trace I've been able to find of it so I'll take it.

Anyway... I got a little sidetracked on the Ratings project  but I'll have more soon.

Sweet, I forgot Witch Hunter Robin aired that night, until I had seen on the internet screenshots. The good ol' days.

Thanks for the help. Although I am pretty sure that those last two ratings for YYH were actually a mistake as it was a marathon that night, so they put Cowboy Bebop's and Gundam 0083's ratings for that night, however I don't know if they actually rated those last two episodes.

[bumperella]

I'll check August 3rd's airing of YYH #21 and December 28th's airing of YYH #20 when I get back in, but you may be correct.  I didn't think of the marathon effecting the ratings that way.

Just checked the two other dates and only episode 21 is different.  It is TV-PG-LV according to the August 3, 2002 airing.  December 28th's airing of episode 20 ("Seven Ways to Die") was still rated TV-14.

[RogerSmith2004]

Thanks. I had figured episode 20 might have still been TV-14, but I was not completely sure.

[mongo]

Man, I doubt I can find any info (I'll post it if I do, but I don't have old tapes ) but I have to say that's a cool project Hadn't even thought of it but it's something I've asked myself a few times when watching Lupin and such.

[RogerSmith2004]

Yeah, I had started watching [as] in 2004 (my first show was The Venture Bros. on August 28) and the first thing I noticed was the different ratings. Ever since then I have been wondering what the ratings are for shows, as well as enjoying the shows for what they were, and the packaging they were in.

As for Lupin, the ratings didn't always make sense, but they are much better than the nonsense nowadays where they just slap a TV-14-DLSV and call it a day:
Episode 1: The Return of Lupin the 3rd (TV-PG-DL)
Episode 2: Buns, Guns, and Fun in the Sun (TV-PG-DL)
Episode 3: To Be or Nazi Be (SKIPPED)
Episode 4: 50 Ways to Leave Your 50 Foot Lover (TV-PG-L)
Episode 5: Gold Smuggling 101 (TV-PG-L)
Episode 6: Shaky Pisa (TV-PG-DL)
Episode 7: Cursed Case Scenario (TV-PG-L)
Episode 8: Disorient Express (TV-PG-DV)
Episode 9: Now Museum, Now You Don't (TV-PG-D)
Episode 10: ZenigataCon (TV-PG-D)
Episode 11: Who's Vroomin' Who? (TV-14)
Episode 12: The Sleight Before Christmas (TV-PG-L)
Episode 13: I Left My Mind in San Fransisco (TV-PG-L)
Episode 14: Curse of the Jumbo Juju (TV-PG-DV)
Episode 15: The Case of the Risible Dirigible (TV-PG-L)
Episode 16: Crude Reproduction, Perfect Frame (TV-PG-LV)
Episode 17: Sheik-Down (TV-PG-DV)
Episode 18: My Birthday Pursuit (TV-PG-DL)
Episode 19: A Safe Bet (TV-PG-DL)
Episode 20: Hell Toupee (TV-PG-DV)
Episode 21: The Last Mastery (TV-PG-LV)
Episode 22: Lupin in Paradise (TV-14)
Episode 23: Auntie Ballistic (TV-14)
Episode 24: Rats to You (TV-PG-LV)
Episode 25: Lair of the Land Shark (TV-PG-L)
Episode 26: Shot Through the Heart (TV-PG-LV)
Episode 27: Little Princess of Darkness (TV-PG)
