Abuse of The Term
Often, some venues such as entertainment news programs like Entertainment Tonight will misuse the term 'lost episode' or 'lost tapes' in order to bring more attention to a feature story on something such as an older series or film, or an actor in their early years, using archive footage from their library, as if the footage was discarded after its first use. However in most cases tapes and footage used on these programs are properly cataloged and stored as they were created after 1979, a time when program archiving was starting to pick up steam, and are usually found easily within a program's archives. Sometimes the term is used by a program's network to describe an episode which had not cleared standards and practices for many years and is just airing for the first time (like "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", an episode of Family Guy).
