I couldn’t find anything on Junkyard Dog (except for an 80’s wrestler), The Kidnap, I Am, or Burial.
Lots of good work! That one mp3 has so much, lol!
I have a few changes to the wonderful list @Leigha did
Knightmares, Fright Knight and Junk Yard Dog are Knight Rider episodes.
Underworld is a Dr. Who episode.
The Dungeon of Death, Caverns of Chaos, Night of Terror and The Kidnap are Wizards & Warriors episodes.
Not sure about I Am or Burial, maybe he is saying something else, hard to hear those two.
Also I made a spreadsheet. If I did it right it is editable.
-“It is believed that one sequence of portals will lead the traveler to the inner caves of Jorado himself and there they will be rewarded with untold discoveries”. - I wonder if this is what the directions are meant to lead us to.
-The 5th image which is a corner of a TV Guide. Given that we have a list of television shows I wonder if we’re supposed to find a given week, likely somewhere around October of 1986, where all these episodes are playing at the same time? Perhaps the date of the issue of tv guide, or the cover will give us a clue.
For reference here’s an archive of every TV guide cover ever, centered on 1983 (which is when Wizards and Warriors first aired so it has to be there or later).
Based on the visual information we have, white background, with the ‘GUI’ guaranteed to be complete and unblocked, I’m trying to narrow it down that way.
Well, here’s all the covers from just 1983 that fit the description.
I’ll add that the date of issue is not on the top of the TV guide logo, cause there are quite a few like that.
I checked the TV guide covers, the torn page didn’t come from the cover, but from one of the pages inside. I think it was just there to let us know we were supposed to be looking for TV shows.
The problem with finding the schedule is that Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica would have been re-runs, and wouldn’t have aired during prime-time, and also it would have been up to the local NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliates what to air during other time slots (late-night, etc.). TV guide listings didn’t always match local listings For example, I’m from the south, so they would be more likely to air reruns of Hee-Haw, The Dukes of Hazzard, etc. We would have to find the full listings (not just prime-time) of the affiliates in NYC that fall.
Nice spreadsheet! Big respect. The only thing that sticks out to me as a Doctor Who freak born in the 70s is that while The Rescue is a Who episode it’s from the 60’s. All the others are from the 70’s. I think this title might belong to one of the other shows.
EDIT: Also the episode is The Invisible Enemy (not Invisible Enemies) - not sure that makes a difference, but I’ma pedant when it comes to Gallifrey.
Four START, four END and four TV shows. So I agree I think this is a set of directions for each of the mazes - So we have the start and the end, now we just have to figure out what order the middle stuff goes. Oh and where it starts - so, yeah. Simple! LOL
I should show you one of my old pics, you’d laugh till you cried.
Let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. We have Four TV shows Brandon obviously loved and watched regularly. One is about a talking, sentient car that helps its driver become a hero. A time traveler assisted by magical technology. Future space warriors on heroic quests to save the universe. Wizards and warriors I know nothing about, but again themes of magic and heroism. Magic, magical (“neogic”) tech, and heroic warriors.
Just thought I’d add something I noticed - there are 30 titles and 30 of the left, right, start, ends. Could just be a coincidence though since they are both from the MP3.
To amplify your point about the Start and Ends. Each TV show has one start and one end assigned to it.
Also I believe the air date of the starts for a given show proceed the air dates of the ends for the given show.
My vague guess is that if we break that spreadsheet up by show, and then order them by air date we might get something.
Edit: 5: Squinting at my phone and notepad gave me this list.
