- One of my favorite subcategories of lost media is lost pilot episodes. There's all kinds of stuff, ranging from sitcoms, to animation, to puppetry; there's just an endless supply of things to enjoy. I compiled 60 entries for today's video. This is the lost pilot episodes iceberg!

Lost Pilots of a show are definitely interesting because it shows how different the show turned out to be.
So true
I agree, also 100th like
Technically speaking the pilot was the creators original vision
And adventures of sonic the hedghehog?
@Honthy64 some of them
I'm really happy that this video has a constant focus on hammering in the fact that "pilot" does not mean "first episode" but is usually an idea that could possibly become the first episode, or even just another episode entirely.
I found you, faker!
@@Curlyheart
I don't know what you're talking about 👀👀
I mean duh that's extaly what a pilot means
@@shaylawatson1244
You'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't know that.
the reason why team umizoomis took so long to come up was because of the 2007-08 writer strike and because of that strike the show was delayed
I remember the biggest punch in the gut from my childhood in terms of lost media was from one of my favourite cartoons - Beast Wars Transformers. In Season 3 there was supposed to be an episode called Dark Glass where Rattrap finds the data tracks of the original DinoBot and downloads them into the clone. That was going to explain how the clone got the memories of the original DinoBot in the final episode.
@SewerReviewer if you ever do another video on cancelled episodes you could mention Dark Glass and The Missing Coach as 2 episodes that were key to the storyline.
Dude This Sucks should probably stay lost. Its rare that I say that about a piece of lost media, but honestly the fact something like that even happened on set is downright disgusting and for the sake of those affected by it I hope it doesn't get to the public.
And before you ask about Frogmen, yes it primarily starred OJ Simpson, but from the looks of things they didn't harm people in the making of the pilot, unintentionally or otherwise.
This Sucks! Change it!
One of the most obscure and strange pilots is the Sad Story Of Henry (1953) It was a early pilot for a BBC Live action show about the railway series, and was made with models, just like thomas the tank engine almost 30 years later. The thing that makes this obscure is that when the episode was being filmed, the engine Henry derailed on a set of points, and people in the studio can be heard frantically trying to put it back on the rails, as a giant hand picks the train up, and gave it a push. There is no footage of this pilot, but there is a few photos of the models used.
We need to see that damn pilot 🧐
@@ThomasLivesInASociety I mean, it was 1953, cameras weren't very good, as if they even existed back then, so there's a chance we might not see The Sad Story Of Henry pilot.
@@AustinSnellAustinSnell We’re going back in time, to the first airing, to get The Sad Story of Henry found. That’s right. We’re going back in time, to the first airing, to get The Sad Story of Henry found.
@@AustinSnellAustinSnell The BBC has a track record of wiping their archives, plus the pilot was aired on live broadcast, and it's unlikely there's any recordings of the airing.
Not telerecorded, since in England kenoscopes were not recorded really until 1955.

So, I know a show that not only has a lost pilot, but the entire show has been missing since the air date, and I don't see it get mentioned much despite it's popularity back when it aired. Back in 2009, Fox and Harvey Levin Productions made this show called Beyond Twisted, and the pilot was incredibly loved, but once they aired the show, they replaced the host and it went downhill from there, kinda surprised that no one has mentioned it despite it being popular around that time. Barely any information exists and there's no clips online.
U should put it on the lost media reddit
Or the Lost Media Wiki Discord. I think you can access that via the wiki in one of the sidebars? That's a lot smaller and full of non-public findings and good sleuthing. But you'll have to mention everything you know.
I’ve look it up and I think the only footage is on the way back machine in CZcams 2009 but there’s barely any content there, I recommend you check it out and if there is no result then send it in the loss media iceberg.
My parents have also said that I might have 6 pieces of lost media.
@@user-cx4bv3eg6i Really? Can you send me a link? If there was footage, I suspect that it had to be on CZcams at some point during that time period. Otherwise, I'll have to check on the Lost Media subreddit/Forums.
Just days after release, an update on Down the Mine has come out. While there was thought to be very little hope left for finding it among many who had searched in the past, while hope is still held by many. Out of nowhere, the dialogue script for both Down the Mine(original pilot) and Hullo Twins!/The Missing Coach where found.
And just last night we got a new bts image from the pilot showing thomas in the iconic bridge section from the intro.
Some say that all lost media deserves to be uncovered, documented, and preserved.
"Dude, this sucks." Is not one of em
Dude, this sucks should never ever be found in my opinion. and if anyone says otherwise and insists it should be found I'd raise an eyebrow at them
"dude this sucks" just sucks harder than kurby with a vacuum cleaner
Let's also not forget “Seriously, Dude, I’m Gay”, a 2004 game show made for FOX that involves 2 straight guys convincing their friends that they are gay for $50,000. Yes, it is as awful as it sounds!
@@sjharris9583 good gosh who thought that was a good idea
@@ArthurTRead I don’t know, but thank goodness GLAAD (or the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) convinced FOX to cancel it! As of today, only one promotional image as well as the name of one of the contestants, Larry Anderson, has surfaced. Probably for the best we leave it at just that!
I don't know why lost media creeps me out, and I don't know why minecraft makes it not creepy.
same
I would 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 to hear Moomin speak in a southern accent and I would pay very good money to see it if I were wealthy.
„Dude, This Sucks!” Sounds like a pilot for BEAVIS and BUTTHEAD.
i really appreciate the short and simple intro, you tie the ideas together well with little buffer and that takes skill. also shows just how excited you are to get to the covering the topic and how well you know your audience. you make great stuff dude, amazing work.
56:30 The original "The Price is Right" was aired from 1956 to 1965 and was just contestants sitting at a table bidding on prizes. It was hosted by Bill Cullen and had none of the fun games that show is known for from the 1970's onward. I only know this because there were some very boring reruns of if it on Game Show Network.
the Super Why Incident is a perfect example of how entitled the Lost media community can be.
small correction, Code Monkeys was about a video game company, not a video game store. as the only open Code Monkeys fan who feels no shame I feel I must say this.
oh my god i've never seen another code monkeys fan before holy crap
Where can I even watch Code Monkeys at, I don’t even have cable to watch the new rebooted channel (luckily).
@@vault1021 ik you weren't replying to me but i thought I'd answer anyway; if you have Peacock you can watch it on there, I'm pretty sure it's free (and if you don't have any other option you could probably sites like s̶o̶a̶p̶2̶d̶a̶y̶ 🧍♂️)

Why couldn't have "Dude, This Sucks!" just been a talent show-like program for the whole family, and the first episode feature talents such as juggling, underwater painting and even balancing on a soccer ball?
My favorite episode of Super Why is when he was selling me data recovery antivirus software
"Oops, my system crashed, but I had an anti-virus!"
You need protogent, world’s only antivirus software with data recovery
The Eric Andre demo was once available on vimeo, and I’ve been trying to get in contact with someone that claims to have it but doesn’t want to release it.
I very rarely like videos, especially because most the creators I watch are large (1m+ subs), but when I see such an amazing creator, producing such an amazing video with such a small audience I always make sure to like. This was really phenomenal!!
Im late, but amazing video! Theres a lot of iceberg videos that tend to keep the video busy looking that makes it hard for some people to look away an do something else, but you do it nicely. Ty for that! Wonderful list you have :]
Out of every pilot episodes I ever seen I can honestly say that the Simpson's was the strangest
1:05:57
Basically, a contestant picks a case. They keep that case the whole game. They open cases to determine what value ISNT in their case. When they open low dollar amounts, the value goes up, and vice versa. After x amount of cases, the dealer will try to buy your case from you, and you can take the deal or keep going.
1:00:40
I 100% believe this. As a Thomas & Friends Fan of 19 years, I can tell you that we've had instances of this before, mainly relating to an individual (who i shall not name) hoarding tapes of deleted scenes / bloopers from season 5 and season 10.
Bro just said it who is it?
@@ngolongolokantemaestrokimp5701 it doesn't really matter, we have those tapes now
The best part about this video is that I had NO IDEA that they made more 12 Oz. Mouse, so now I have to go marathon that because that show is amazing.
I love these pilots! I hope to get blues clues, Ned’s declassified, and figure it out.
Hey man, great content, I really like this format of video and lost media! Hope your sub count grows, seems like you really deserve it!
Ayo?? An hour long video??
Sewer you blessed us.
Edit:
Also gonna add some things about the Handy Manny Pilot (cause honestly, I am mostly interested in this pilot out of the ones mentioned in this video) is that the most interesting thing about this pilot (at least from the images we do have as of this comment) was that Manny’s dog Fix-It (for those who aren’t knowledgeable about the show or haven’t seen it in a while. Manny has a robotic dog named Fix-It) isn’t present in any of the screen shots which makes sense since she either likely didn’t exist yet (cause in the show, she was built in a early episode) or she did exist in this specific pilot but we haven’t seen her yet and also we haven’t seen Mr Lopart’s (aka the gentleman at 23:54) cat named Fluffy which is interesting cause unlike Fix It. Mr Lopart always had Fluffy with him so if Fluffy didn’t exist in this particular pilot it was likely she was created later in development (assuming similar to Fix It and Flicker and Flicker is Manny’s flashlight and the only reason why I brought him up is because he joined the group much later so I doubt he existed in the pilot)
Great video! Was very surprised Mess of Blues was so far down given how important and sought after it is, but different people come across information at different times.
To throw my hat in the ring, how about a pilot that isn't lost, but had a cut segment that IS? The Invader Zim pilot is easily accessible, being released in its original version as a DVD extra back in 2004 and even airing on Nicktoons (albeit an edition version) in very late 2010. However, the climactic food fight between Zim and Dib was originally done in CGI. That version was scrapped and reanimated in 2D. There are some screenshots of what the 3D character models looked like, but no actual footage. I'm surprised it's not talked about more, particularly within the fandom. Given how unusually open the crew is with production material (and I'm talking "every single finalized script is publicly available" levels of open), I'm sure that clip would be easy to obtain if the search just got more attention.
43:48 - It wasn't a game store, it was a development company -- it also had Gary Gygax and Steve Wozniak on it.
1:00:02 there is also an older pilot of thomas the tank engine that was a 2d version of the show, but they decided to use irl models instead of making the show a “cartoon”
Yep cuz u had the sad story of henry pilot in 1953 (which is forever lost). The animated cartoon pilot in 1976 (one u were talking about). And finally the down the mine pilot in 1983 (mentioned in the video)
@@BanePlays134 are they found? just curious.
@@secondaccountsyndrome every thomas pilot is currently lost
@@BanePlays134well, you see. Only the down the mine pilot is found. The cartoon version of thomas and the sad story of henry are currently Lost. The only thing that could be found of the cartoon pilot of TTTE is some of the storyboard, and yes, the sad story of henry pilot had models. There are photo’s of the model’s, but still the sad story of henry pilot is still lost. So as the cartoon pilot.
I think that the Family Guy unaired pilot was made around 1998, because in 1999 the design of the Griffin Family has been already made. You can see arts made by Seth in 1998 and they are in their final design.
Yeah
One lost media pilot I want to see get more coverage is the pilot for Allen Gregory. Some of you might remember the fox cartoon starring Jonah Hill about a pretentious 7 year old boy going to school and interacting with the common man, the show was a colossal failure as it was critically panned and only lasted 7 episodes before being axed from the network and wiped off the face of the Earth. The episodes are pretty hard to find in decent quality nowadays as it is, but the original pilot from the 2 minute promo is just straight up lost. A lot of the dialogue and scene structures are different in the pilot, and most notably, the animation is a lot more bouncier and charming compared to the final show. RebelTaxi managed to get in contact with an animator who claimed that the team knew that the animation company wouldn't be able to make the entire series look like that, and the higher-ups kept demanding them to emulate Family Guy more and more, causing both the animation and the entire show to get worse before it was even out. If this obscure dumpster fire of a show can generate some more public interest, then maybe we can find the full original pilot and see if it was any better than the final show.
good job sewerreviewer
a clip of the original Down The Mine was actually used in the show. The shot is of Thomas in Knapford's yard and you can tell this isn't the same as the model they used for all of Season 1. There are also multiple images of Sir Topham Hat that are scattered around the season
The danger mouse one I believe the original voice actor for DM got a different job, or died, so they had to replace him. They also reworked his character so he fit more with the slightly bumbling hero instead of the ultra competent character that fit the previous voice actor.
You should've brought up the Space Channel 5 News MTV Pilot Block when talking about Cyber Cindy because that was almost exactly what it was like, but with Ulala
this is going to be amazing
Fun fact about supermarket sweep all of the meat was fake and a lot of the food was expired because they’d shoot for five months every year and would use the same food over and over again
thank you for letting me know that the bear in the big blue house pilot was found, because ive been very invested in the search but i never saw that it was found 🤯
wait, i think i might have seen that curious george pilot at school. i have a vague memory from 5-k of a man i had never seen before wheeling a tv into the classroom, the teacher had us all sit on the floor around the tv and said we would be watching the first episode of a brand new curious george cartoon, they even passed out chips and Hawaiian punch to eat while we watched it. i dont remember the cartoon itself at all, but i do remember thinking how strange the whole situation was because nothing like that had ever happened and it never happened again. so if anyone finds some kind of record of it being test screened to a 5-k class in greenville SC, I was probably there lol
There’s a piece of Partially lost media that I’ve been trying to find for 3 years now, it’s a horror show called 13 The Fear Is Real which is a reality show based around 13 contestants who have to find out who is the killer among them that is killing off every contestant in each episode. I first watched the show back in 2009 when it aired on the know cancelled horror channel known as Chiller. What made me revisit this show again was a memory I had of watching an episode where two female contestants were trapped in the trunk of a car, and a timer was set to go off and crush both of them if they didn’t get out in time. I’ve tried searching the web to see if I could find the show but there are no sources I can go to find the show at all. I did manage to find one episode on CZcams by an unknown uploader which is episode 3 of season 1. But that’s the only episode I was able to find, I even went on IMDb to see if I could find a place to watch it anywhere, but no luck. I really hope someone out there has also watched this show and I’m not just crazy
AN HOUR LONG SEWER REVIEWER VIDEO LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

I used to watch Justin Time and was hooked as a child. I watched it in Spanish and I was really surprised that olive and squidgy are his imaginary friends and that’s what made it sad!!
I loved how his name fit in English and Spanish (Justin time = Justo en Tiempo)
This is THE BEST THING EVER
The way he said "curmit the frawg"
The way you chose your name
I'm surprised you know of Card Sharks! My mom won a car on there in the first running of the show. I think she sold it because...taxes :')
Good video bro, but please raise the volume a bit, I had my pc volume all the way up and could barely hear you man! Still a great vid
Pilots can feel so alien, at times. You ever watched the House, M.D. Pilot compared to the rest of the show?
24:42 I love how he said "OOAAAHH!!" XD
32:56 clone high was created by phil lord and christopher miller know for cloudy with a chance of meatballs, the Lego movie, and the spider verse franchise
I didn't even know Robot Wars came back until I randomly saw it on TV a few years back. It's definitely overshadowed by BattleBots now, but I do enjoy BattleBots a lot more, so that doesn't really matter. I just found it interesting that Robot Wars tried to make a grand return like BattleBots did, only to, from what I've seen, seemingly fail.
great video
1999 Unaired Nickelodeon pilot of The Proud Family (Before Disney) was partially found!
I’d love to see the family guy pilot in full before I die, it’s so mysterious and intriguing ever since I’ve heard about it.
I wish that companies would follow Sonic SatAM's example and make the pilot an actual episode of the show, even if character designs, like Sally for example, weren't even finalized. Though for the Thomas Down the Mine pilot I can see that never being released due to the models being so different.
Let's do this chaps!!!!
i saw the gibby one !! my mom got paid to do surveys around the time the pilot was produced and she had me watch the pilot for her during one of the surveys to get her extra points. i don’t remember a lot from it bc i was like 8 in 2012 lmao, but hopefully a recording resurfaces one day
The Gibby Pilot was actually found last month believe it or not! There's a copy floating around Archive.org somewhere because the CZcams upload got taken down. I had the pleasure of watching it and it's definitely something lol.
just want to say, i loved the Minecraft gameplay on the background, i normally use these types of long videos to sleep but lately they are not being enough to keep my attention span, but with the Minecraft gameplay when i got slightly disinterested i would just watch the minecraft then next topic im alreading paying attention to the actual content
ITV also gave the world shows like Pop/ (whatever country you live in) Idol, X Factor, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Mr Bean and Downton Abbey.
And probably made most of the British remakes of US shows that I know of.
24:42 Thanks for doing that repeatedly, it sounded like I was watching porn.
I loved Super Why when I was a kid it was my favorite on PBS kids
Hey, I thought I’d mention a lost pilot that wasn’t covered in this vid. If it was mentioned, and I just missed it, make sure to tell me! Thx.
But the pilot I’m talking about is the lost 3d pilot for the Nickelodeon show, Invader Zim. If u r a fan of Invader Zim, (ur amazing I love u), then you prob know there’s already a full 13 min pilot already. But there was a scrapped 3d pilot for this show that has images circulating around the internet that I’ve seen.
Thx 4 reading lol
Has anyone asked Jhonen about it?
@@PiroKUSS uh not that I know of, it depends. I don’t even know who or how the images got leaked online. But I have tried speaking to him thru Twitter.
Oh, that's hilarious, I made a comment about the same thing! Contrary to what's stated here, it was only the food fight sequence towards the end that was done in 3D, not the whole pilot. However, you are otherwise correct.
On a side note, someone really needs to update the Lost Media Wiki page for the unfinished episodes. The artbook revealed many model sheets and other design work for some of them (most notably The Trial), but they're never mentioned. More egregiously, Invader Dib is still listed there even though it's been disproven as a fan made rumor.
@@TheStarsTwilight lol my notifs totally suck can’t believe I just saw this XP
but thx a lot for the info!! I should state that I don’t know much abt the lost pilot itself and had no idea only the food fight scene was made in 3d.
But yeah, I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t gotten as much recognition in the lost media community. And being in the IZ fandom, nobody really talks abt it there either.
And I have the art book, but I don’t remember seeing stuff like that in there :/ I’ll have to look again.
Yeah I heard that there was like a full five seasons they had planned for the show but they only ended up getting to three cuz of price restraints. I only know a handful of the unfinished episodes but that’s another thing that should be researched a little more.
And lastly (ik this is getting long) does anybody know more abt the concept art? Like concept designs and such. There’s a lot in the art book which im thankful for, but I’ve always wondered if there’s any more. Only asking this cuz the concept art of IZ is my livelihood lol
27:10 here comes me and my friends
0:56 He knows what’s up
The Thomas ‘down the mine’ pilots production notes and scripts were just found.
I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video about this!!!
What’s the little song that plays at 13:56 while introducing the Sea level layer?? It gave me a jump scare bc I’ve only ever heard it used during Schlager Lucas”s videos
I just found out this was posted before some of these got found.
Including clone high in the thumbnail got me to watch
For me it was Thomas the Tank Engine
Well at least with handy Manny we have that funny video where he has a lightsaber fight with the backyardigans
Some pilot episodes can be discarded after being made into a full series which makes it lost media
The Blue Prints Pilot Was Found A Few Weeks Ago
For Wabbit, I think the design change was that Bugs doesn't have his buck teeth but I could be wrong...
Don't know if I'm remembering this correctly but there was a curious George cd that could play games on the TV or on computer and that's where the donut image came from
I saw a animated one of Woody as a villain the video is called "toy story - early test animation"
About "The Price Is Right", the original format ran in the late '50s and was hosted by Bill Cullen. That's why the '70s version was "New".
the blue umizumi was my first crush and that squid haunted me
The "The New Price in Rights" was the name of a syndicated version from 94, hosted by Doug Davidson.
The theme you used for shallow waters' intro is so similar to the Eddsworld intro.
I think that the down the mine pilot is somewhere in Mattel's storage and that it hasn't come out yet i mean the all engines go pilot was also found by a group of people so i don't think it would be hidden in my opinion
Holy crap team Umizoomi was MY CHILDHOOD
I have the plushies still lmao
I used to have a geo plush but I lost it
also that less than zero one sounds like a movie i watched with robert downey jr idk if it's the same story exactly but the movie is called less than zero so that might be what happened to the pilot
If go for it was released in 1990 or 1991 it probably would’ve been in 1990 because if nick studio opened in 1990 then go for it would had been one of the first things that would be aired.
It's a bummer of how you didn't mention the Ni Hao, Kai-Lan pilots. (aka Downward Doghouse.)
i saw me and my friends on the thumbnail and clicked immediately
There is a pilot episode thats never released in high quality and its entirety and it was MST3K's The Green Slime.
Video request: A iceberg of lost TV episodes (non creepypasta)
I'm creating a cartoon. It's called, Forgotten Tales! It's about these forgotten and obscure characters that go on wacky and crazy adventures.
I personally think the looney tunes wabbit pilot (aka To Catch a Fairy) is the same thing.
Basically on Dish network on channel 175 and sometimes 176 (basically boomerang and CN) they used to rerun Wabbit a uncomfortable amount of times and I’ve seen To Catch a Fair a few times and I’ve never seen any difference to it whatsoever and you’d think maybe if there was a difference you’d catch it and someone would have mistakenly aired the pilot.
The down mine pilot is something I would love to see 1:00:56 Gordon’s pilot model looks weird
Se pelo menos existisse um programa em algum desses canais que exibisse esses pilotos, boa parte das mídias não estariam perdidas
cartoon network does that!! they showcase all of their pilots publicly

Did you say Noggin was a predecessor to Nick Jr. In 2006? Because I remember watching David the Gnome on Nick Jr. _back in the 80's._ It wasn't its own channel, but it did exist as a programming block.
