I’m sure a lot of already saw my thread on how I’ve restored a bunch of the broadcast music to a lot of episodes of That 70s Show, well since that thread I managed to locate a few more episodes but I’m sadly still missing a third of season 1, all of season 2, and an episode of season 3. I’ve run out of ideas on where to look and idk anyone else who could still have those ancient broadcast rips circulating around for years. I’ve been doing this project for almost 3 years and I still don’t have everything I need to finish. If anyone knows where or has any episodes from the original airings at all, please message me.

UPDATE: As of mid-2020, all of the episodes have been found and restored

Forewarned to those expecting the music segments to be matched quality with the HD audio, it was simply a case of “it’s all I have” and these are early captures so unfortunately for the first 2 seasons and a chunk of season 4 the quality is not the greatest in those scenes

I’m not sure, but if this is the same edit I’ve seen people passing around on reddit, I believe one of the songs is incorrect. The Season 3 episode Hyde’s Dad: the dream sequence. The song should be ""Theme Song | The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. It goes “People let me tell you about my bessst friend…” IT should not be “Best Friend” by Queen.

This actually may be my fault. I left a reddit comment probably a decade ago listing some of the songs I knew from my VHS recordings, and I just said “Best Friend” forgetting about Queen. So that comment may be what people are using as a source, then other people use them as a source. Next thing you know it’s a circle of people referencing each other as sources.

Anyway, Im 99% sure the song should be the theme from Courtship of Eddie’s Father. I watched/listened to that tape on loop all day everyday in the background. It’s burned into my brain.

I’ve tried finding those tapes, but the tape I think it should be has gone entirely blank. Improperly stored, or someone accidentally hit record and left it going on a blank screen.

If anyone has solid video footage contradicting me, I’d like to be corrected. It’s also possible Spaceman Doug’s edit is different. I haven’t had a chance to check since I can’t pm yet.

You’re actually thinking of the scene from Eric’s Buddy whenever Eric and his lab partner are having fun together.

This is the scene you’re referring to which is most definitely playing Best Friend by Queen.
