#tv pilot

You can watch it here. You can read the Lost Media Wiki article about it here.

You can find my post about the Red Dwarf USA pilot here.

New on the Patreon: "Down in the Dumps", another unproduced episode plot from the Welcome to Eltingville series bible.

The plot was later reworked into a 15-page Bart Simpson comic script for Bongo's Simpson's Summer Shindig #2.

Post unlocked for all Patreon backers, starting at the $1 tier.

Thanks to all the backers, past and present.

Party Wagon (2004) dir. Craig Bartlett

I found myself in need of a horse so I tamed a stray bronco. Later, I managed to procure a reservation for a sleeping car on the Missouri express. On April 1st, I reached the crossing of the mighty Missouri river: the gateway to the west, and freedom from the mistakes of my misguided past. Oh the West! Oh the glory! Oh my feet.. Oh my sun burn.. A chance to try again, perhaps my luck had changed at last.

Me: Here's a list of Nick shows that CN (and others) rejected.

The creator of The Fairly OddParents used to work at Hanna Barbera Studios (Cartoon Network) before Nickelodeon. However, they were still reluctant to pitch it again until Frederator Studios's Oh Yeah Cartoons.

The Wild Thornberry - Klasky Csupo originally pitched it to Fox, centering the father but Nick's partnership was too big

ChalkZone - An early draft was sent to CN (Time Warner's Turner), but the company underwent reconstruction as HB Studios closed.

My Life a Teenage Robot - It started with Nick, then CN, but it went back to Nick again.

Harvey Beaks - After working on CN's Chowder, the creator had another show in mind, but they had creative disagreements.

Pinky Malinky - It was skipped entirely after CN chose Gumball until Nick showed up with the help of Netflix.
