Last night, I went to Veoh to do a BotP review, and had a nasty surprise: almost half of them are gone. They have 50 episodes, not all 85. I wanted to produce reviews of all 85, as much so that I would have material for fanfics as for the benefit of other fans who might not have the series (especially in order). Sierra Hotel India Tango!

Huh... Interesting. I wonder why. When I looked up the user info, it looks like they haven't updated the channel in 6 months. Now that Veoh is really getting a following, I wonder if they're starting to crack down on how long something can be posted for. It could be a rights thing, but if it was, I would think they would have removed all the videos.

I rather hope that's not happening. But if there is some sort of timing thing, the remainder could disappear at any time. Blast. I'm finding things I had definitely forgotten from the show.

Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo! Veoh is the only source I have for BOTP episodes too.

Oh Frell! I hadn't gotten through all the eps over there and it was my only source too. A couple of weeks ago all 85 were there on like five pages. Tonight I looked and they were down to three pages. I majorly upset now. Those were the best quality of broadcasts I'd seen. They were clear and sound was good, unlike some of the YouTube one which are a little grainy. Major bummage.

Hi I have had a hunt through Veoh and have found the gatchaman vids( i think ythey are all there - but it did take some hunting ) Airwalker007 had a group- gatchaman channel hopefully this link works if not search airwalker007 and the Gatchaman stuff is on the last few pages http://www.veoh.com/search/videos/q/airwalker007/offset/760/duration/20-60/searchId/caa14b3294bc5b8b3570348775c0219a# Blossom

Thanks, Blossom, that's really helpful! And welcome to the site!

Hi this is is the link ( I hope) for the battle of the planets episodes- still saying 85 episodes but they are coming up as 18+ you might have to adjust parent control http://www.veoh.com/collection/battleoftheplanets/watch/v873490Hy6je8Fc Blossom

I don't have parental controls on my computer. My children go meow. And I do find it silly that I have to click on that for a show that was intended for children. Anyway, I'll see what I find. Otherwise, someone here may have to download their own DVDs...

Wait a minute, has anyone counted? There are only 50 episodes shown. The page SAYS 85 but there are only 50 (from what I can see). Unless my computer is not showing me all of the episodes. I can not see any of the episodes in the 50's, 70's, or 80's and I can only see 1 or 2 in the 60's - can't remember if it was 69 and another 60 or not.

I think some of them may be corrupted. The last time I went there I got a virus. Tried about 20 minutes ago, my browser crashed and is now giving me all kinds of hell. Only problems that occur happen with visits to Veoh. Now I get to play RL computer geek and fix the problem. Hopefully without having to pester my brother who's currently in Turkey and not happy about it.

I was about to go over there, and then I saw those posts. Yep, they stop at DVD episode 49, and it's episode 69 that's there. Wonder if the folks at Veoh know there's a problem? If someone's using the site to send out viruses, that makes them look bad. (And I was so hoping to have all 85 episodes summarized for people. In the Sandy Frank production order.)

Yeah, there is definitely something weird going on. Glad I haven't clicked on anything. I'd probably be safe, but I don't want to chance it. I think there's only a handful now that I haven't seen, but I was hoping to have them all right where I could reference them for fics and whatnot. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll fix it back the way it was a few weeks ago. BTW, tht 18+ thing got me too. The only thing Adult about it was the stupid adds at the bottom of screen. Some of those were rather squicky.

Are you sure you weren't listening to or watching all the Zark/Susan fillers?

And that was supposed to be safer than the violence. (Isn't usually the other way around?)

I think it must have been some of Zark's porn that he uses when Susan's occupied elsewhere. Pretty scary that. I never got how it was okay to have all the stuff between Zark and Susan and not some of the violence. Believe me, I still, as an adult, find them repulsive. Give me the violence any day. At least that had an explanation. I love Battle of the Planets, it just kills me knowing how much better it would have been without the robotic sexcapades.

Ironically, with the voice actor chosen and the era, Zark could have been a good character, if they didn't add Susan, if they didn't have all the sexual innuendo, if he wasn't a robotic Gary Stu. He could have been a more animated narrator, but no they add to add all the other crap.

Veoh seems to have vanished? can anyone else view it? Blossom

I can. My account's all fine and everything. I did notice a "Now part of Qlipso" whatever that is.

I can see it, and when I goto: http://www.veoh.com/group/battleoftheplanets I get the 50 videos up.

Originally posted by Cain Highwind I can. My account's all fine and everything. I did notice a "Now part of Qlipso" whatever that is.

Hm. I just go to view the BotP eps. I might need an account to view all 85, now? Can you get us some more information, please?

Let me know if they are still infected. It was trying the link the the "view all 85 episodes" that the virus attacked and everything froze.

Just sent the guy a message, lets see if he repsponds. Because I have an account and even I can't seem to view all the episodes for some reason )0_o

Yeah, because it says 'View all 85 episodes', and we only get those fifty. And YouTube does not make up the difference.

Until veoh is fixed, this website uses veoh player and other format and from this link, we can get all but the ghost island/mecha factory episode. http://www.tv-links.cc/cartoon/battle-of-the-planets.htm

I do not want to offend anyone but, when I was just a little child and had the blessed opportunity to watch the original Gatchaman after a very short period of time watching BOTP, even then, my child's mind told me that it was better to watch the violence portrayed in Gatchaman than the s**t going on between Zark and Susan! And, even today, I'd rather let my very young children watch Gatch's violence (violence shown to them to a certain extent) than those fillers! I don't know how the BOTP series was intended to be more child friendly! Even the behaviour of Zark with the Swan and the Eagle, and vice versa, has never seemed in place to me! If only some of these, may I say, "errors" had not been done in the first place (together with some nasty art!), then, IMHO, it would have surely been a better series than it, in effect, has been.

Oh, no offence here. I agree wholeheartedly. All that crap was wasted space and took away from an otherwise very well-put-together story line. Would rather have that. Got to run.

To be fair though, a lot of the Zark/Susan talk went over my head as a kid. I had no idea it was that bad until i got older. I just didn't like Zark because he was annoying and I felt like he was taking time away from the 'real show'.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun To be fair though, a lot of the Zark/Susan talk went over my head as a kid. I had no idea it was that bad until i got older.

I agree with that ... I too didn't understand wholly the significance of most of the discussions, but it surely felt out of place and peculiar picking up words at random! And I'm sure that our children can understand more of those discussions being more openminded, nowadays!

I just didn't like Zark because he was annoying and I felt like he was taking time away from the 'real show'.

Same feeling here!

That was my thought as well. I never realized until watching it as an adult all that was going on between Zark and Susan. It is amazing how many shows I can watch now that I watched as a child and realize exactly what is being said.

Originally posted by clouddancer It is amazing how many shows I can watch now that I watched as a child and realize exactly what is being said.

That's what's happening to me! Even strategic plots, warfare and the many circumstances are much clearer now than when I was a child. Perhaps that's why we can appreciate old shows today more than before!

I have the issue with the movie Grease. I *loved* it as a kid. It was my favorite film and I'd sing the songs all the time... but it wasn't until maybe a decade later that I watched the movie and began to understand why my mother was always cringing. I had no idea about all of the sexual implications in it!

IKWYM! I had no idea! It all went completely over my head! But I LOVED Olivia Newton John!!!

Hard to believe we all had such innocent minds once, isn't it? There was one occasion I recall, when I was a kid, that my older brother made a comment that sounded completely innocuous to me but that caused my mother to rebuke him somewhat sternly. It was years before I figured out what his words had actually meant!

I just tried it. I wanted The Silent City, but it wasn't there. It said the video did not exist. Something's up.

I've found it funny that as I've gotten older, and I really didn't think all that more worldly, that I've had to explain things to adults that were older and more worldly than I, or so I thought. One of my favorites was explaining to a boss at a convenience store that no the guys buying a pack of Marlboro with rolling papers, but not the rolling tobacco, were not rerolling cigarettes but actually rolling something else in those papers. Did I understand the innuendo between Zark and Susan at that time, probably not; but then when I first saw GoS, I knew some element of BotP was missing but I couldn't point to what. Guess Zark really left an impression on me.

Our parents and our teachers at school have taught us differently than our children are being taught today. Almost everything was illicit at those times! Even during the time in which our children are watching their cartoons on tv, their minds are being fed constantly by ads that IMO must not be transmitted during those hours ... today's cartoons themselves are full of comments and images that transmit sexual implications, etc (not that the series of our times didn't have such!). Videos of their favorite songs are also full of uncovered flesh (my kids love the type of music of Lady Gaga!)! Even if us parents try to be careful, we cannot hide everything from our kids ... and sometimes it's also a good thing, I think! I don't want my kids to face reality without knowing what they are dealing with or talking about! In the future, my daughter could encounter problems if she'll not be prepared to face dangers that she might encounter! On a funny note ... for example ... I remember one very embarassing moment when I was a child of about 7 or 8 years old. I was watching an episode of one of our national most famous series and the protagonist was pregnant and in labor. Before my mother changed channel hurriedly (as she used to do when she thought something was not good for my eyes) I managed to take a short glimpse of what was happening and innocently asked her why the lady was in such pain! My mum, without trying to find the right words, hastily told me that the lady had swallowed a bug and that she fell ill! After some years I finally came to know what was the real nature of the bug! ... but not after I've been humiliated by some of my friends who knew better before me! It's still an embarassing moment for me when I think of it!

Out of curiousity, what operating system does your computer use? I currently have a virus issue on an older computer that's running Windows XP, and I think it could possibly be linked to Veoh usage. (The BF is going to tackle it for me this weekend.)

Use Mozilla Firefox, get the No Script add-on. Most web based viruses are launched by JavaScript injection attacks, even devshed.com was issuing viruses to its clients when one of the banner advert companies it uses were hacked.

I have XP with Firefox browser. I have Norton for my primary virus protection, but needed Malwarebytes to completely remove both viruses.

I run Norton and Malwarebytes at least once a week, sometimes more often.

AVG is my computer's primary virus protection, and I periodically ran Spybot S&D. But, they weren't up to snuff this time! The BF mentioned Malware Bytes as being a good program -that might be what he's going to use on my computer when he returns from being out of town this weekend. I've shut mine down and I'm using his (which runs Vista). This link has some information about what's going on at Veoh. Apparently it was on the verge of bankruptcy a couple months ago and just got bought out by Qlipso at the last minute. http://www.dmitryshapiro.com/blog/?p=160

What does this mean for the content on Veoh, and for the site tv-links.cc that apparently gets its cotent from Veoh? Perhaps whichever of you has all 85 eps of BotP may have to share with the world.

I know it uses Veoh player, but does it come directly from Veoh? I haven't tried it lately.

I know that the missing eps on Veoh can't be found through the other site.

Ah, okay. Thanks for that info. Then you are probably right in your assertion. The person uploaded to Veoh and then linked to TV Links.

If your paying for antivirus, then DO NOT buy Mcafee or Norton they are the most awfully written piles of rubbish ever made and the only reason for their success was that they joined the Microsoft club of pre-installing without choice. Go for ESET instead, better, faster and much more reliable.

Anybody been back to Veoh lately? I know that I still can't get the higher-numbers BotP eps through the other site. Whenever I try, a message pops up saying the video does not exist.

I haven't checked in about a month. The last time I looked the higher ones were still gone. It bums me out. That was my only way to see episodes.

I revived this thread because BirdLover says we need an account, so I wondered if anyone else had done that lately.

See my further comments in the "Other message boards" thread. Sorry, I did not know there was already a Veoh thread - I was responding to a statement made in that thread.

I had an account with Veoh, so not sure that it would make much difference. Off to view the other thread, now.

No reason for you to know about this thread. It's an old one. I had to look for it. I revived it because I wasn't certain how many people had read the posts on the 'other message boards' thread. I figured they'd respond to 'Veoh' in the title, and I could find out if any others had been able to get to the old BotP episodes. I meant no offense.
