Hello, I’m trying to track down a specific episode of The Montel Williams Show and thought this might be a good place to ask because I’ve seen people here catalog old off-air VHS/Beta recordings in detail.
The episode is:
The Montel Williams Show
“Boyfriend Thinks He Owns Me”
Season 5, Episode 17
Original air date: September 25, 1995
I believe someone in my family may have appeared on this episode, so I’m trying to locate any surviving recording or even just a lead. I’m not trying to identify, contact, or expose anyone involved — this is a personal/family-history search, and I’m keeping names/private details out of public posts.
So far, I’ve found database listings confirming the episode existed, but I have not found a public upload, transcript, screenshots, guest list, or archive entry with the actual episode.
Since it was syndicated daytime TV, I’m assuming the most likely surviving copy would be an off-air VHS recording from someone who taped daytime shows in the mid-90s. I’m especially interested in whether anyone here has come across Montel Williams episodes in old tape lots, TV recording collections, or station/date-labeled VHS tapes.
Any advice on search terms, collector communities, tape-label conventions, or places where this kind of recording might surface would be appreciated.
