01. Bicentennial Fever
Because nothing says "Happy 200th, America" like crappy "collectibles", Up With People and bizarre Government films.
02. Record Ripoffs
Featuring such great (non-)hits from the likes of Hairy Nielsen, BAAB, William Turkey and many, many more! Order today!!!
03. VHS Vault Vol. 2 (Fashion Videos)
What do you mean Ben is fashion-challenged?
04. Archive LaserKaraoke Party! (LaserKaraoke)
Seeing as the Archive somehow managed to hit the 30 episode mark, it seemed like a good time to throw a nice, little (tax-deductible) party. Plus, Ben sings a viewer poll-selected song (a move that was instantly regretted by all who voted).
05. Number Stations (And Other Radio Oddities)
Covert broadcasts...and how to decode them (your results may vary).
06. The EAS Zombie Hoax of 2013
Or, as Ben likes to call it, the Max Headroom Incident's annoying, less creative little brother.
07. 8-Tracks (or, The Care & Feeding Of Your 8-Track)
And Ben thought it would just be another cool toy for his collection. How naive...
08. VHS Vault Vol. 3 (Gambling Videos)
Learn to gamble--Archive style! God help us...
09. Kiddie Disco Records
Come visit the Archive Children's Disco before it's condemned!
10. Halloween Special 2013 (Italian Dance Party/Son of Halloween Riffs)
Forced to discuss his fourth knockoff Disco record in a row, Ben has a slight meltdown.
11. Format Wars Vol. 2 (Pre-Betamax)
VHS vs. Beta? How 1977...
12. VHS Vault Vol. 4 (VCR Games)
Ben's still having nightmares about being forced to play charades with Rich Little.
13. QUBE Interactive TV
An interesting, but (unsurprisingly) failed, early attempt at multimedia interactivity.
14. A Bargain Bin Christmas (or, Ben's Holiday Hits!)
Five forgotten holiday albums that will...more than likely remain forgotten.
15. Infomercials
Have you ever wanted to make "melons" in real estate? If so, you've come to the right place!
16. Industrial Musicals (or, The Archive Sells Out!)
...because salesmen need the comfort of knowing that their product is truly the answer to all problems (consumerist OR existential).
17. Educational Film Salute (or, The Stock Footage Special!)
Don't screw with Jam Handy!
18. Teknikel Diffikultees (Technical Difficulties)
The Archive is currently experiencing technical difficulties...LOTS of them...and Ben refuses to take responsibility. So there.
19. PSA's (or, The More You Know, The Less You Understand)
If V.D. really is for everybody, why don't I have it?
20. Interstitials
...because only Ben would be stupid enough to devote an entire regular Archive episode to between-show filler.
21. A Tour of the Archive (or, roll up for the Magical, Mysterious Archive Tour)
Alternate Title: Why Ben should never make a full "behind-the-scenes" episode.
Alternate Title #2: Ben stammers for 38 minutes.
Alternate Title #3: Why Ben will never get a date.
22. More Record Rip-Offs
The Archive gathers together all your favorite '70's hits--then realizes that the major labels, the RIAA, etc. would have our nuts in a sling over it. More ripoff records it is then! All 70's edition!
23. Test Cards (and Patterns)
Wait, there's a logic to all this?
24. Going Analog
It's time for a few changes in Archiveland.

Alternate Title: How to Survive an Unprovoked Attack From Your Electric Mixer.
