All in the Family - The Unaired Pilot with different cast - Dickie (not Mike "Rob Reiner") and a different Gloria! Also a different Lionel! Plus, the original aired Pilot,  4 Episodes and the 25th Anniversary Special! WOW! (4 hours)      $10.00

 

 

Aquaman "Mercy Reef" (2006) - The Unaired WB Pilot starring Justin Hartley, Ving Raymes, Denise Quiñones and Lou Diamond Phillips.  45 minutes     $10.00

 

 

Big Bang Theory - The UNAIRED Pilots (2007) -  VERY different than the aired Pilot! Kaley Cuoco's character  "Penny" is played by Andrea Walsh and she was originally named "Katie". Katie is played a little bit more provocatively (ahem... sluttier) than Penny. The characters of Sheldon and Leonard are a bit different too (Sheldon actually is attracted to Penny instead of indifferent to her) and Howard and Rajesh do NOT exist yet but there is a "nerd girl" who is "sort of" seeing Leonard - who eventually became the "Leslie" character later played by Sara Gilbert in the series. The sets are different and the theme song too! This would have been a COMPLETELY different show if they used this pilot  -  the guys ask Katie to live with them! This is WELL WORTH seeing!  23 minutes  PLUS: A bonus Second Unaired Pilot - The same cast as the Aired version but with a different beginning and other slight differences!  22 minutes      $10.00

 

 

Bionic Woman - Pre-Aired Pilot (2007) - In this unaired - “Pre-Aired” version - Special Effects in some scenes are not complete. A red line crosses the screen when Jamie first views her bionics. This is a signal that there are incomplete effects (you’ll notice green marks in Jamie’s hand - a guide for the FX people to add computer graphics) and temporary effects (the badly placed and overlapping Bionics on her forearm). “Location” text graphics - telling you where you are in the scenes - have not been added yet. One of the major differences is Jamie’s younger sister Becca. Aired Version - troubled teen - played by Lucy Hale. Unaired Version - troubled teen who is also deaf - played by Mae Whitman. It is unclear why they made this drastic change and re-cast the role with a different actress. [There are rumors that the deaf community was upset because she wasn’t a deaf actress.]  Jamie’s apartment is totally different - much darker and smaller in this version, in the aired pilot it’s a loft. The unaired Version also has longer fight scenes.  44 minutes    $10.00

 

 

Cartoon Pilots - Our own compilation of some RARE Pilots for proposed animated series that never became series.  “Welcome to Eltingville: Bring Me the Head of Boba Fett”: Four nerds who love comic books, sci-fi babes, horror movies, Dungeons & Dragons and collecting memorabilia! Based on the comic book by the same name. “Korgoth of Barbaria”: This was supposed to be a series in 2007. A parody of Conan the Barbarian, it is set in a fantasy world of sex and violence! Deitrich Badder voices Korgoth - a mercenary adventurer who is fearless and strong. “Ranger Smith: Boo Boo Runs Wild”, “Ranger Smith: A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith”, “The Jetsons: Father & Son Day” and “The Jetsons: The Bad Son”: Created by the minds behind Ren & Stimpy - these re-imaginings of classic cartoons seem to be a lost cause, but as you will see they should have been given a chance.  AND an added Bonus : “South Park: Cartman Gets an Anal Probe - The UNAIRED Pilot”: This is the original pilot (“hand-made” with paper) BEFORE the computer created version that was aired. It contains several minutes of extra footage as well as alternate scenes. This version took three months to create by hand where as the current episodes take a week with computers.  Approx. 2 hours     $10.00

 

 

Cavemen - Unaired Pilot (2007) - This is a TOTALLY different Pilot from the aired version! 100% re-written and re-shot.  I read that in this version the characters were not "Likable" enough. The one guy is a real jerk to everybody - they softened him A LOT in the new pilot. And the actor who played Joel's younger brother was replaced and they changed the character's name too! Still Funny! A RARE treat!  24 minutes     $10.00

 

 

ELVIRA - Tricks & Treats - A compilation of 36 ELVIRA TV Treasures - like Elvira vs Vampira! Interviews, MTV Host Appearances, Bloopers, Ads and Comedy Skits and SO Much more!!! But the best thing on the disc is the ULTRA rare UNAIRED Pilot for the never-to-be-seen "The Elvira Show" (1993) that CBS made but decided to not proceed with the series! Katherine Helmond co-starred in this pilot where she and her sister Elvira are witches who make potions and read palms but when an undercover cop infiltrates the house all HELL breaks loose! It's got a lot on innuendo and sexual humor and is DAMN FUNNY!!! The talking Black Cat makes you wonder if Sabrina didn't borrow from this show!    $10.00

 

 

Heat Vision and Jack (1999 TV Pilot) - I'm not sure if this was actually a pilot for a series or a Parody of a Pilot for a Series, you decide.  The story of a man and his talking motorcycle. Jack Austin, an ex-astronaut who got too close to the sun and, by the power of the yellow sun, becomes the smartest human being alive. Heat Vision is the unfortunate combination of Jack Austin's former roommate and his motorcycle. Ron Silver, also an ex-astronaut and part-time actor, has the job of taking out Jack Austin. An alien named Paragon takes over the body of a chef and attempts to kill "all monkey tramps." They all get mixed together by a kindly sheriff, and hilarity ensues. Jack Black as Jack, Owen Wilson as Voice Of Heat Vision / Doug (voice) and Ron Silver as Himself.  30 minutes     $10.00

 

 

Life on Mars: "Hit and Run"  (US Unaired Pilot - 2008) - Things aren't going well for Sam Tyler. After a car accident, he goes to work to find everything is different. It is 35 years earlier! What is different between the Aired and Unaired Versions?  The Aired Pilot : Takes place in New York City in 1973. The Unaired Pilot: Takes place in Los Angeles in 1972. A similar story but with MANY differences. Different cast - except for Jason O’Mara. And is WELL worth watching!!! Jason O'Mara ... Sam Tyler, Stephanie Jacobsen ... Maya,  Doug Scott Kramer ... Edward Kenmore,  Rachelle Lefevre ... Annie Cartwright,  Colm Meaney ... Detective Gene Hunt.  51 minutes     $10.00

 

 

LOST in OZ - Unaired Pilot  - (2002 WB Pilot - Widescreen) - Melissa George (The new Dorothy - Alex Wilder), Mia Sara (The new Wicked Witch of the West) and Colin Egglesfield  (Caleb Jansen - Call Name "Scarecrow").  An adaptation of the original OZ story - modernized with LOTS of twists! VERY Cool!!!!  A Twister in 2002 Kansas brings Alex to the world of OZ where she meets a WWII pilot who arrived a year ago from the 40's! They must help The Good Witch of the South and Ozma while trying to defeat the Wicked Witch of the West who has enslaved the Emerald City!  45 minutes    $10.00

 

 

Reaper - The Unaired Pilot (2007 Widescreen) - This one has a DIFFERENT female co-worker/eventual Girlfriend "Andi" played by Nikki Reed. It's unclear why they re-cast the role - it looks like they filmed JUST her scenes and edited it into the pilot. I admit - I prefer the new girl (Missy Peregrym) - but the old one wasn't bad!    $10.00

 

 

The Robinsons - Lost in Space (2004)  - The Unaired  Pilot - This pilot was never given a chance and it's a shame! It's REALLY GOOD! It looks fantastic - lots of cool FX and the best thing is it has an ORIGINAL STORY! (The FX are 95% complete - there's a scene where Will Robinson is supposed to be floating in Zero Gravity but they never digitally erased the straps he's hanging from). There's a NEW more human looking robot and NO Dr. Smith! (I guess they didn't want the family trying to kill him each week!) There's also An OLDER Son named! Penny is a Baby! and Major West is only 20 (He looks 16!)     $10.00

 

 

Red Dwarf : Both US Unaired Pilots (1992) - There were two attempts to Americanize this hit British Sci-Fi Comedy series .. both were rejected! You can see both of them here.  Featuring Terry Farrell (Cat - Version 2), Hinton Battle - the dancing Demon from Buffy "Once More With Feeling" (Cat - Version 1),  Robert Llewellyn (Kryten), Craig Bierko (Dave Lister)  and Jane Leeves (Holly).  Version #1    (watchable)  and Version #2      (good quality)   $10.00

 

 

The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Unaired Pilot (2007) -  This is NOT the same pilot that was recently aired! Several scenes are different and there is a different actor playing Sarah's "boyfriend" too. The beginning takes place at John's School instead of the public Library in the aired version. The Special Effects and editing is Fantastic! The Terminators and FX scenes, as well as the entire production are done by the guys who did Terminator 3 but the storyline takes place after Terminator 2!  VERY cool! EXCELLENT story!  45 minutes     $10.00

 

 

    WEIRD, BLOODY, FREAKY and COOL!

STIFF (2007) - TV Pilot - It is unclear if an actual Series will materialize. But here is the pilot for the weirdest series if it ever does.  Stiff is a live-action horror comedy series created by Matt Maiellaro, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and 12 Oz. Mouse. The series has been described by Maiellaro as Evil Dead 2 meets Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and has called it a totally tongue-in-cheek "romactiohorredy." The series revolves around Muhanney, a detective who escaped from hell with the aid of a deformed canine he calls Rigamorto who is cursed to take on cases regarding demons and other monsters. Helping him in his quest is Naphtlene, an angel sent from Heaven with a tendency to stab, impale and otherwise maim Muhanney.  22 minutes    $10.00

The Justice League of America (1997 Live-Action TV Movie) This movie was made by CBS and never aired in the US.  David Ogden Stiers plays Martian Manhunter! John Kassir is the Atom!

Planet Earth (1974 TV Pilot Movie)  "Planet Earth" was a TV pilot set in the future. The sequel to "Genesis 2" - both by Gene Roddenberry.
