It's a private torrent site that specializes in rare and forgotten TV shows. They have all four of the aired episodes of this show and i'd be happy to get them for you, do you have a trade list?

The four aired episodes aren't hard to find. The place mentioned above is just one of the options - in fact a better quality copy of one of the episodes turned up very recently.

The five unaired episodes (including the pilot) are a different story... That's probably never going to happen.

For me this is as racist the The Producers is antisemitic... The joke's on the bigots.

Interestingly enough according to the comments on the TV Vault page the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, IL actually has a copy of the pilot, I live in IL but i'm not exactly close to Springfield so i'm not going all the way there just for a pilot of this terrible show

But if anyone else on here lives near there and wants to give it a shot be my guest.

They have the first episode that was broadcast and they simply named that "the pilot".
The actual pilot - reportedly - provided the backstory but there was an execution scene which was misreported as a hanging so that didn't please the protesters... So it was shelved and the only known episodes are in fact 2, 3, 4, and 5.

It was a better series than "Thanks" - which was a similar idea and made around the same time.

Anyway we may as well forget about this. Nothing will happen until (or rather: unless) some crew member or someone up in the chain spills these on the internet, as happened with a UK example. It may never even happen.

We might as well focus on things that have actually hit the airwaves at one time (check out some on my wishlist). There we stand at least a small chance. (Heck, even "Oh no! Not THEM!" appears to have been partially shown as a kind of announcement.)

The most likely way those unaired episodes are found at this point would be if Media Garage leaks them. He's a guy with a Youtube channel who's worked on probably hundreds of shows and he's been uploading unaired pilots for months and even some unaired episodes of TV shows so there's a small chance he might have the pilot and the other unaired episodes, I suppose I could check.

I considered that too, but he has virtually NO content from last century. Mostly 2003 onwards, so far.

(There was another guy on reddit who was posting stuff to archive.org, and he did have 1990s programs. But he has stopped completely. But anyway, I had already asked him before he disappeared, and he didn't have Pfeiffer or Oh no! Not THEM!.)

I believe that guy was MG as he used to be on Archive.org before his account got removed on there.

MG has posted some stuff from the 90s, I sent him a message asking him if he has those unaired episodes, even though I personally don't care if they're never found I know others do(And TV Vault has a bounty for the unaired episodes so if I could fill that that would be nice).

No it seems unlikely that that was the same guy. CGF/LR is not MG - what would be the point of pretending to be two persons both doing the same kind of thing?

Well what were some of the shows CGF/LR had on Archive.org?

See for yourself but it's nothing for your big reward.
(Do you think I would not have claimed that for myself if I could? )
