Isn't this where the "original air date" field comes into play? We know
the original air date of the first episode of "All New Blockbusters"
which as far as I can see is just "Blockbusters after a few years out"
is going to be "2012-05-14" and even if it takes a lot of work (and I
imagine it would) to get the original air dates of the old Blockbusters
episodes we can at least start recording it now. Even if some years in
the future it gets repeated on some "remember what used to be on that
challenge channel" channel, its original air date was 2012-05-14.

Cheers,
Tom
