Topic on User talk:The H-Man

Hi H-Man,

I am working on a sandbox for TV listings regarding Godzilla and other Toho properties. Would you be able to assist with any sourcing for adding any TV channels not yet represented as well as links to any site sources?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi H-Man,

I was wondering if you would check out my sandbox User:Gojo2022/sandbox/Television Stations that formerly aired Toho Films. I would appreciate any info you might be able to contribute.

Thanks

I don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm and I sincerely hope I don’t, but in my opinion, I think such a page is too large and possibly even outside the scope of Wikizilla.

That doesn’t mean, however, that it’s not worth cataloging. Because I certainly think it is. I’ve been using Newspapers.com and other archival sources for several years now to record broadcast information for most tokusatsu movies scheduled on US basic cable stations through 2010 (just an arbitrary cutoff date), all for my own use. I can’t be certain that these are ALL the times these films were broadcast or even if the films as scheduled were broadcast — both of these of course are further difficulties in logging this information.

All that said, I’m not on the staff, so consider my opinion a suggestion at best. If it’s something you’re passionate about then I hope you’ll continue to dig into it. I just think it might be better suited for a personal website or blog.

Hi H-Man,

Thanks for your reply, it was very helpful. I have been looking at newspapers.com

Would you mind sharing any other online archival sources you use?

Thanks again.

Archive.org is another good resource.

Hi, H-Man

It's me again sorry to trouble you, but I need to ask you two questions real quick and I'm only asking because I think you might be the only one on here that knows the answers to these questions. So when you come back could you please help? Thanks again.

1. Does the original television version to Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster open with it's Toho logo music when the Walter Reade logo is there like with their release of Ghidrah or does it play it's own music like at the end of their release like it did for Son of Godzilla?
2. Do you know what home video release of Cosmic Monster has the Cinema Shares logo? I already know the answer to their releases of On Monster Island and Megalon but any idea on Cosmic?

1. I’ve never seen a version of Godzilla versus the Sea Monster with a Walter Reade logo so I couldn’t tell you. I think some prints may have opened or closed with a Sterling Educational Films logo.
2. The only one I’m aware of is “Godzilla Volume 3,” a DVD from Siren Visual. Hokushin’s UK (pre-cert) tape carries the Brit distributor’s logo but still retains the Downtown Distribution fanfare.
