This article serves as a guide for anyone wishing to dig into LRR's early years, particularly the first few seasons of sketches.
Background
In the 17 years LoadingReadyRun has been going, the crew has used many different services to host their videos such as the Escapist, YouTube, and even Quicktime videos hosted on their own site! Unfortunately, a few of the video providers they previously used have folded (such as Revver and Blip.tv), or in the early days of the site, the crew took down some of their older videos to save server space. As a result of all this, many videos are broken on the site, hard to locate, or gone altogether.
The crew are well aware of this though, and they are working on moving their old videos to YouTube.
Most of Season 1 was removed in the early days, and is unlikely to return due to the LRR crew seeing this material as being of poor quality, and many of these videos using copyrighted music and sound effects. However, almost all of the season 1 videos are still available to download from Archive.org; Fugiman put together a zip archive of all these videos in this forum thread. Since then, many videos from seasons 2-6 have also become unavailable. Some are still on the site with broken video embeds but can be downloaded and played in most media players, some are on YouTube but not embedded on the site, some are available from Archive.org, and some just aren't available at all.
This article aims to catalogue the availability of everything up until LRR fully switched to YouTube; everything released from then on is easily accessible.
Videos
Please note that this list is only complete up to June 2009. Also note that the so far released LRR DVDs are After Hours, Sketches Seasons 1-5, commodoreHUSTLE season 1, The Whatever Thing, It's Magic, and Crapshots Season 1. Out of these, After Hours and Seasons 1-3 are unavailable(And in fact, not even listed in the store). Seasons 6 and 11 are being worked on.
Also, some video pages may appear to be broken, and the download link leads to either a "Video is corrupt" screen or plays audio with no video, but if you right click the download link, and click "Save as" (or just press CTRL+S on the "Video is corrupt" screen of the download link), you get a perfectly working download. This has been true for many years, and is almost certainly due to poor browser compatibility with Quicktime videos.

Please note that the Operation: Viral Outbreak videos have been excluded from this list, mainly because Things On My Head would take up so much space, due to how many were done in such a small space of time. All of the Viral Outbreak videos be found on YouTube on their respective channels.
