Status: Partially Lost
Behind The Music was a musical documentary series that ran on VH1 from 1997 to 2014 becoming one of VH1's longest-running programs. Created by Jeff Gaspin and Gay Rosenthal and narrated by Jim Forbes, the show profiles mostly famous musicians, locations, DJs, years, and movies that had a cultural impact on the music industry. The show returned with new episodes on Paramount+ on July 29th, 2021.[1][2] All of the show's original 244 episodes would only be aired once and never again, causing a lot of the show's episodes to be lost to time.
The VH1 website used to list the show and all its episodes, which were not viewable. Whenever you clicked on an episode, some text appeared that said "This Video Is Currently Unavailable Due to current rights and restrictions, this video is unavailable, but feel free to check back later. In the meantime, why not watch something else?". Although the episodes were not viewable on VH1's website, it did help in listing all the episodes and their subjects.[3] However, the webpage for the show has since been taken down, now redirecting to VH1's homepage.

Canceled Episodes
| Title | Status |
|---|---|
| Ratt (1999 Version) | Partially Found |
| Scott Weiland | Lost |
The show has very few episodes that were cancelled. The most notable one is the one on Scott Weiland (lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver). It was announced back in March 2009 that Weiland was one of the first artists to sign on to the series alongside Lil Wayne.[5] While Lil Wayne's episode aired on September 10th, 2009, Weiland's episode never aired or was possibly never made. In March 2018, three years after Weiland's death, his Wildabouts bandmate Doug Grean revealed that VH1 didn't interview him enough for the episode, hence why it was never completed.[6] It didn't say who else VH1 interviewed for the cancelled episode like his bandmates in Stone Temple Pilots or Velvet Revolver. It's unknown how far production on the episode went before it got canned.
Availability
Episodes have reemerged online through recordings of the original airings posted on various video-sharing sites and reworkings of the original episode. International versions of some of the lost episodes are also available online. Some episodes of the Paramount+ reboot of Behind the Music use clips from their original episodes as part of the reboot's updated version of those episodes. On July 20th, 2022, nine episodes from the original series became available to stream on the platform. A few have updated content edited into it however.
