Title: Can't find a TV show and Search Engines are Useless. Post by: 66Crush on February 12, 2011, 11:47:30 PM You have to be so damn specific if you want to find something. I keep trying to Google an 80's comedian named Doug Gilmore, unfortunately he has the same name as a famous hockey player and info on that guy keeps comming up. Same friggin' thing happens on Wikilepedia and IMDB. This Doug Gilmore hosted a comedy/video show called "Telestar." I can't even prove this show existed because I can't find anything on it any of these sites either. I even tried different spellings Telstar, Tel-Star and Gilmour. How in the world can this show and it's host be this obscure in the digital age? I have often had this problem with search engines. But I've always been able to depend on Wiki and IMDB, until now.

For example: doug-gilmore or "doug gilmore" The only info I have found so far is a TV show called The Gilmore Brothers (Keith and Doug) which was produced by Telstar. Interestingly the only info I can find so far is some old trademark information here: http://www.trademarkia.com/the-gilmore-brothers-keith-doug-73076361.html But maybe that will give you a starting point.
