Dear Fellow DVD-philes:
Some of my holy grails include episodes that have been pulled from the regular syndication runs of their program. For example, "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command," (you can stop laughing now) has two episodes that have been pulled from their Disney Channel runs since they were first shown on the UPN network seven years ago.
The two episodes are "SuperCharged," and "Conspiracy." I wrote to one of the executive producers of the show and he guessed that since 9-11, the "Conspiracy" episode might have been deemed to strong for little kids since than.
Mind you. . We're talking about Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Anyway, I've written to Disney Channel years ago, asking that they show those episodes again, since I missed them the first time they were played. And nothing's happened.
Another situation, the short-lived Spy Games series that ran 10 years ago, still had 4 unaired episodes. As befits all the programs I loved, it got promptly cancelled. And I still hope some rerun channel will show them someday.
There was also a "Pinky, Elmira, and the Brain," episode I missed. (Yes, I can still hear you laughing now), and while everyone else hated it. I loved the Pinky and the Brain act, even when they were teamed up with Elmira. Ok. I'm not that picky when it comes to shows I like.
Anyway. Outside of writing letters to the studios, does anybody else have any ideas on how to get these "lost" episodes out there again.
