If it helps sooth sliderider's angst (hah! 🤣) I am told that all of the episode uploads of Computer Chronicles to The Internet Archive have been permitted by the show's creator and host.

and most of them are even their master tapes!!! Random VCRing people can't get to that level of uploading, especially regarding their 1980s episodes.
BTW, challenge from IA: you guys found errors in the metadata? Create accounts and fix 'em...

Playstation 2-related episodes are tagged with "PS/2"
I imagine some of the duplicates would be because sometimes they repeated episodes. So they would have a different prod code but be the same content pretty much.
The metadata for each show is good already actually.

As corny as they are, I remember really enjoying some of the earlier "Computer Bowl" episodes. It's been a long time since I watched them but I remember thinking the earlier iterations were more entertaining than the later ones.
It's kind of amazing how many famous names from the 1980s/early 90s computer industry got together some afternoon to record a nerdy game show.
