Sad news. Were the tapes ever converted to digital?
Guess those boxes aren\'t always watertight. When I worked in TV (circa 1978), we used these bulky blue watertight plastic boxes.
Sad news.
But at least in this case, it wasn\'t NBC\'s fault.

Where this ranks among the great media losses in history:
1. Library of Alexandria
2. Grand Library of Baghdad
213. NASA\'s copies of moon landing tapes
3289462. My mother throwing away my childhood stuff
6783243. The Dream House flood
More makes me wonder what (if anything) else was lost.
Hopefully, the Mike Darow/Darrow version still exists.
Jimmy, were the Eubanks Dream House tapes victims of the same flood as some of Warner Bros.\' film materials in 1994? I thought I remember reading on Home Theater Forum, that some of their film material was damaged in a 1994 flood. In fact, I also thought Warner used to own the Dream House tapes.

I\'m pretty sure it was a Don Reid Production in association with Group W. W = Westinghouse Broadcasting which merged into CBS. Thus, it would be in the hands of Paramount, if existed today. Paramount has so much stuff that the loss is virtually insignificant. If, as Wikipedia says, Lorimar was also involved in 1984, it\'s possible Warner would have that year as, they were the successor to Lorimar.
Well then, when did Paramount or Warner have this kind of flood on their videotape vault after 1994? Are there any reports of such a thing online?
I don\'t recall hearing of any flood destroying tapes. I do remember a vault fire at Universal that destroyed a bunch of tape masters of old movies.
Somewhere out in tape trading land, there is a mega-mix of literally HOURS of \"Golden Doors\" segments on the circuit, FWIW.
