Good Neighbor was the pilot episode done for the network to sell the series. Here is a scan of the original storyboard... http://animationresources.org/story-alvin-show-pilot-board/

I think (not totally sure, though) that the version of "Good Neighbor" that was pitched to CBS was slightly different from the one that aired during the series.


It'd be nice to see if those opening and ending titles were ever used in the original Pilot.

I got a copy of the Blu-ray on sale for $4, and I have to say despite it only being three episodes, they all look about as perfect as shows this old could look. I'd LOVE to have the entire series, but just watching these three brought back many memories of my childhood, and certainly I'm seeing them in better quality now than I ever saw them back then.

Would be really cool if some Alvin Show fans combined their efforts to 26 episodes, something I've been attempting to do since mid 2012. z/I do have a decent amount of episodes, some from the 80s FOX syndicated run, some from Nickelodeon. I even have quite a few segments (like I have all 26 Alvin episodes but not all of Clyde or musical segments).. anyway, here's the episodes I have in full (or in the case of the Nickelodeon reruns, as close to full as they aired):

#1 (2015 DVD)

#2 (FOX)

#3 (Nick; The Magic Mountain is cut, a segment I lack from my Alvin Show collection in any form)

#4 (2015 DVD)

#5 (Nick; The Little Dog is cut, which I only have in a shortened, sing-along form)

#6 (FOX)

#7 (Nick; The Pidgin English Hula is cut, a segment I lack from my Alvin Show collection in any form)

#8 (Nick; Stuck in Arabia is cut, a segment I lack from my Alvin Show collection in any form)

#9 (FOX)

#10 (2015 DVD)

#11 (Nick; Alvin for President is cut, but I have that segment; First Aid is missing around 20 - 30 seconds)

#12 (FOX)

#13 (FOX)

#14 (FOX)

#15 (FOX; SUPER BAD QUALITY, but I have all of it minus Clyde in better quality)

#17 (FOX)

#19 (FOX; REALLY BAD QUALITY; can't remember if this one is incomplete or not)

#20 (FOX)

#22 (components... sorta; The Band Played On is a shortened, sing-along version)

There's also some episodes I have in components, OTHER THAN CLYDE; those are..

#18

#19

#21 (Whistle While You Work is in black and white)

#23

This is based on the list posted earlier in the thread. Anyone wanna help expand the collection? Willing to share what I got ;)

I know you mean well, but the forum moderators take a dim view of advertising to trade, etc. It's considered bootleg, and it isn't allowed here.

I have a feeling that this show is stalled for the same reasons as "The Loves of Dobie Gillis" was for many years -- and with the recent theatrical movies, one would think that the original 60s series would be a huge seller -- to the kids' parents and grandparents.

Personally I'd only go near the one season from 1962 and possibly that in itself might be the rights holders' big fear -- that only this would sell on dvd and nothing else.

And there is no excuse for the piecemeal sale of episodes from that one season right up to now -- I consider this a big insult to the true fans of this show, but I fear with dvds now being seen as an old technology, prepare yourselves for a lot of similar treatment as the months and years (maybe) go by.

The reason that the Alvin Show isn't available is that the rights are split between David Seville's children. The costs of restoration would be high, and none of them are interested in doing all that work just to have the money made from it split. The new Chipmunks belong to Ross Jr.
