Secret of Cartoons: Family Guys Lost Episode

In 2005, they brought back Family Guy after it was cancelled. Seth wanted to bring the show back right, and he felt like he needed a darker storyline that the fans would understand. So for season 4 he wanted to make a fresh start, as if to start the series over again, but for this to work he had to make a episode that could start the series back over again. For years he never aired it because of time. He later forgot about it and the original tape went missing. I was quite a Family Guy fan myself, so when an unknown Family Guy tape was for sale online, I ordered it, and I got it in the mail six days later. It was 7 minutes and 53 seconds long. It began with a darker version of the intro. It was a bit more high-pitched, and when it went on the logo, there were flashes of unknown colors. It began with a closeup of the house. It was silent, and inside the house, Brian was yelling at the family about something odd. From what I saw of it, Peter made a cutaway gag, but yo

Secret of Cartoons: Catdog Lost Episode

Hello everyone. When I was a little girl, one of my favorite Nicktoons was CatDog. I'm sure you 90s kids remember it: a fairly comical show about a pair of Siamese twin brothers, one cat and one dog. They lived in a house with wise-mouth blue mouse named Winslow, and they were constantly bullied by a group of dogs known as The Greasers. According to records, this show first ai red on April 4, 1998, it and ended with an unaired episode on September 22, 2004. The series was created by Peter Hannan. Being a loyal follower of the show, I was rather disappointed when I found out that the series was cut in 2004. Like most other people, I hadn't seen the unaired episode, which I have found out was titled "Vexed of Kin / Meat, Dog's Friends". One day, while browsing a local yard sale, I came across a DVD in a plain clear case. It was obviously a burned DVD, as it was the Memorex brand. Anyway, it had "CatDog: For the Birds" messily scrawled on it i

Secret of Cartoons: Fairly Odd Parents Lost Episode- Sweet Revenge

Okay, so I am a HUGE Fairly Odd Parents fan. I watch it whenever I can. Lately, I've been busy with real life, so I missed a lot of the new episodes in Season 5. Once the box set came out, I tried to buy it, but I did not have enough money to buy it. One of my friends was also a huge fan of the show as well and he had let me borrow his copy of the se t so I could see the episodes that I missed. When I first picked up the copy, I faintly noticed that the Nickelodeon logo was missing off the front cover. I didn't let it process into my mind as I picked up the set. Over the coming weeks, i slowly watched the episodes whenever I could. When I was about to finish it, I noticed something odd. There was an episode #21. All of the seasons, including this one, ended in 20 episodes. The 21st episode was entitled "Sweet Revenge". I googled the episode up, with no avail. So, as you can guess, I put the episode on. And this is when stuff gets freaky. The episode beg

Secret of Cartoons: Bob's Burgers: Human Flesh Deleted Script Idea

Have you ever noticed the puppet like apperance to the characters?  Every character looks like this. the truth was going to be revealed in the episode,"Human Flesh".  A CD, containing the full episode plus the missing scene, found under a dumpster outside a Burger King in Wyoming. The episode ran completely normal, until the credits rolled by. In the middle of the credits, there was a short scene involving a blood-red blank puppet, and a real-looking human, CGI maybe.  The scene takes place in a cellur under Bob's house/restaraunt. The puppet says "Now, I don't enjoy the blank canvas that I am. I think that can and will change. From now on, I will be you, and you will be that." The puppet points to a pile of intestines on the floor. Then comes the good part. The puppet cuts the human open in the back with a machette. He rips out the organs and bones, a few by a few.  Once the human's dead, thepuppet places the skin on his body. The new B

Secret of Cartoons: Sesame Street Lost Episode

My sister's name is Mary. She is five years old. She is the reason. It was her fault, you hear me? I didn't put it on. She made me watch it. It was Thursday night, around five o'clock. She told me to turn the TV on for her. My mom was in the kitchen two rooms down.  Mom. Mother. Mother didn't know.  I put on PBS kids and watched Between the Lions for about an hour. Then c ame the commercial break. The first sign. First. A commercial for Chick Fil A flicked on. A cow stood in a white room in front of a chalkboard. The announcer spurted out robotically: "Chick Fil A is a proud sponsor of PBS kids. Why? Maybe because Chick Fil A promotes high quality programming here on PBS. The cows have no beef with that. (Moo!)" But that was not the problem. The chalkboard. Scratched into it with what seemed to be fingernails was a single word. ZErO. And something was wrong with the cow. It's eyes expressed mild panic.  I was horrified. I didn't remember

Secret of Cartoons: Goosebumps Lost Episode

Goosebumps was one of the highlights of my childhood. I must’ve read nearly every book and watched a great deal of the episodes. The best thing was why the stories were scary. Most of the stories had monsters, ghosts, and demons. But I loved they ones that really fucked with your brain, like Shock on Shock Street. Goosebumps was my favourite series of books, even if they k ept me up during the night. Last week I was clearing up my spare bedroom. It was packed full of boxes, books and old clothes, which was strange, seeing as I’ve only been living in my house three months now. I found and old Tupperware box with the word, “GOOSEBUMPS” written across it. All my old Goosebumps books were in it. A wave of nostalgia washed over me. I was near tears as I looked at the covers that had scared me shitless as a kid. A lot of the pages were dog-eared and I found two bookmarks and six business cards. At the bottom of the box was a VHS tape with, “Goosebumps: Hide n’ Seek” written i

Secret of Cartoons: Toy Story Deleted Scene

A while back, I was on holiday in Alabama. I was at this gas station store just getting some more food, drinks and supplies for the drive to the hotel. I noticed there was a box with videos in it. The guy at the cashier explained to me that those videos were found outside the store and that I could take the entire box for free. Seeing as they were all labeled, and that th e man was being friendly,I picked up the cardboard box and paid for my snacks. When I arrived at the hotel, I noticed they had a VHS player. I looked through the videos, and I was astonished what I found. They were tapes of various Pixar films. The eerie fact is that about five of the tapes had a stamp that said "DECLINED PLEASE DESTROY - JL". I then realized JL stood for John Lasseter, and that I was in possesion of deiscarded property of Pixar. I put on the first tape, which was a collection of old Pixar shorts. I haven't seen all of the shorts, so I coudn't tell if they were legit. T

Secret of Cartoons: Filbert's Funeral

In 1995, I was a newly hired intern at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. I got the chance to work very closely with Joe Murray, who was the creator of one of my favorite cartoons, Rocko’s Modern Life. When I found out that I would be viewing the new episodes before they were aired, of course I was ecstatic. He had told me of the plans for the upcoming epi sodes of the show, and showed me some early sketches of the characters that the children of that era, along with myself, and surely some parents,had all come to know and love. The first few episodes I had screened were great, and I always bragged to my friends, who were also fans of the show. But then one day, things seemed a bit off. Joe looked exhausted and hurriedly handed me the tape before going home, claiming to feel sick. I shrugged it off, and put the tape into the VCR, wondering what shenanigans Rocko and his friends would get into this time. But when the title card came up, I was shocked to say the least. The car

Secret of Cartoons: AAAHH!!! Real Monsters - The Final Scare

One day last year, I was out with a friend shopping at garage sales, trying to find furniture for his new apartment. The day was bright and sunny, ordinary for Florida. When we had found all of the furniture he needed and people started to end their sales, we started driving home, when he pulled over into the yard of an elderly couple, who were still sitti ng by their table of things to be sold. There were mostly ceramic statues and old books, things you would expect from people of that age, but one thing really caught my eye. On the table was a box of maybe twelve movies. I started digging through them, seeing mostly uninteresting titles starring Tom Hanks, my least favorite actor. I was about to walk back to the truck when I noticed that one tape said “AAAH!!! Real Monsters - The Final Scare.” My heart started racing with excitement, seeing as how I had never seen this episode, and the fact that I had assumed this show had completely disappeared. I asked the price of th

Secret of Cartoons: Bananas in Pajamas: Stop!

It was a pretty regular day, I was just channel surfing and came across a Bananas in Pajamas episode, it was just begining, I remebered watching it when I was a toddler so I decided to watch a bit. The episode was called, Stop! When it began there was just a bathroom with the taps left on and the water was flooding onto the floor, to the left was a rocking chair, with one of the bananas in it, he was reading a story called, Stop! There was nothing telling you which banana it was, and he just kept saying, STOP, STOP, STOP! At this point I was slightly creeped out, but I kept watching, he then said, "Tell the others to Stop!" "Stop what?" I kept asking myself. And suddenly he replied which almost gave me a heart attack, "Stop stealing." I was too stunned to speak when it said, "Stealing my soul, your soul, our souls." Suddenly a second banana came out with a violin, and started playing this creepy tune, the taps mysteriously tur

Secret of Cartoons: Ed Edd n Eddy - YoU fOrGoT

In my younger days, I was always a fan of cartoons. I still watch them to an extent nowadays, I admit. My favorite genre was varied, but I always had a soft spot for the slapstick humor found on networks like Nick and Cartoon Network. One of the best ones I've seen and enjoyed was a little show by the name of Ed Edd n' Eddy. I loved almost everything about it. The prem ise, the characters both major and minor, the art style, and the humor of everyone being smacked around like nothing happened at all. I don't think I've missed a single episode of it. When I was around 13 or 14, my younger brother and I had always watched the show every time it aired. After a while, we came up with the idea of recording some of the episodes on a blank VHS tape. Now when we needed something to watch when nothing was on, we'd put in the tape and let the Eds entertain our short attention spans. We'd keep recording episodes for as long as the tape could hold, and you can

How Life Changes After Pregnancy

    Do you know how life changes when a young couple decides to become young parents? Do they think it boils down to adding more commitments and costs? Or do you already know about the emotional toll and everything it entails? Here’s a story that elucidates it all. "We are sitting at lunch one day when my daughter casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family." "We're taking a survey," she says half-joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?" "It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. "I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous vacations." But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my daughter, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional w

Secret of Cartoons: Tom and Jerry Lost Cartoon

NOTE: This was made by KI Simpson, the same guy that wrote Dead Bart The thirteen Tom and Jerry shorts made by the Czechoslovakian director Gene Deitch are infamous for their poor quality and rather disturbing nature, featuring badly done sound effects and animation and having a more realistic feel to the violence. Some have speculated that Deitch didn't like the concept behind Tom and Jerry and was pressured into making them, and wanted to make the people who watched his take on it feel bad for liking the concept. What many people don't know is that Deitch was originally signed on to make more than the thirteen episodes the public has access to. Desperate to get out of his contract, Deitch made one more Tom and Jerry short that few have ever seen. The short was called "Tom's Basement." It opened with Tom in a typical Tom and Jerry house. His owner was the fat, angry guy from other Deitch shorts. Tom's owner seemed even angrier than in his oth

Secret of Cartoons: Adventure Time: "Catherine! Catherine!"

So, me and my brother fight over the stupidest things. When I was little my brother scared me with Invader Zim. He'd say the scariest things, "Zim's in your closet, Annie. He's going to take all your dolls." Stuff like that. So, my brother and I were watching TV. I turned on Spongebob and then he changed it to Cartoon Network. I sa w that Adventure Time was on. I watched it and I fell in love with it. A day after my 13th birthday, I turned it back on and he watched it with me. It's all regular at first and then my brother jolted up to get something to eat. It starts off where Finn is packing his book bag, and then he starts crying. He cleans his face and he grabbed a picture of some girl who isn't in the series. I look over and it looks like my fan art. I began jumping and screaming with joy and it pans off. My brother runs in and hears me and he watched some. I fast forward it and it starts again. Jake is mad about something and Finn is cryi

Secret of Cartoons: The Frightful Fables of Fickle Faye

When I was younger, around the year 1987, there was a show called The Frightful Fables of Fickle Faye. The show was aired on a local channel in Central Florida, channel 17 if I remember correctly. The show was meant to be a miniseries around Halloween time for children. My uncle, Markus Buskirk, was a producer in the early stages of creating the show. He told m e that the show would use puppets to portray scary stories for children, and that the first episode would air on October 3rd, and the season finale would air on Halloween afternoon, the end of the episode marking the time the children would go outside to trick-or-treat. Being a seven-year-old girl at the time, the show seemed interesting enough, so I waited as patiently as I could for October 3rd to come around. On the afternoon the show would air, I sat on the floor of the living room in front of the television, watching commercials for toys, sidewalk chalk, restaurants, and hotels as I waited for the show to sta

Secret of Cartoons: Rugrats Lost Episode.avi

Hi there, this is my first time being here and my friends recommended me to tell you guys what I witnessed because well...this is very strange. A week or two ago, I was surfing on the internet, searching up some Rugrats stuff out of curiousity since it was on late at night and I had nothing better to do. I deeply searched out of boredom and found this website that was tit led, "RUGRATS, LOST EPISODE - FREE DOWNLOAD" I immediately clicked on this out of excitement and downloaded. It didn't take long at all and my Media played suddenly popped up. It wasn't a lost episode, I recognized it the first few minutes it began. It was the episode where the babies and Angelica were preparing for it to rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Anyway, I watched through it and after that, the credits rolled. During the credits, I was shaking my head, thinking, "Well, that was a waste of time." After that, I was startled by a booming scream on my laptop. To my sur

Secret of Cartoons: Mickey and the Flip Mirror (Lost Episode)

I was searching the attic on Saturday while my parents went shopping for groceries when I came across a box labeled ‘old tapes’. Curiously, I opened the box to find a variety of old VHS tapes of different TV shows. The one on the top of the pile caught my eye because of the familiar face. It was called “Mickey and the Flip Mirror”. On the cover was Mickey Mouse with Donald, Goofy and Pete. There was something different though about the way there faces were. Donald look very depressed and sat on the ground holding his legs, Goofy was on the Top of Pete’s boat looking very angry with his fist in the air and one of his shoes were missing, and Pete was hanging off the side of the boat with both hands on the rail trying to pull himself up and his face was a very depressed look. Mickey was the one that caught my eye. He was sitting on a pile of hay with an evil grin on his face. A foot came from the hay at the back, and Mickey was holding a pitch fork with something dripping

Secret of Cartoons: Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm Dark Secrets

I have always loved this show called Happy Tree Friends, because of the characters. My favorite one is Petunia. "False Alarm" is a controversial real-life bootleg tape featuring an unaired HTF episode. Like the long lost but recently discovered "Remains to be Seen", False Alarm was created by a now imprisoned American animator who intended to pass the tape off as an unaired episode and featured the death of Nutty. I decided to go watch it. Unfortunately, it was corrupted, and I could not get any further than the introduction; and when I did, all I saw was a mess of colors and heard a strange loud-ass fuzzy sound, like radio static. I tried watching it multiple times; different sites for each one. Unfortunately, it was still the same; Color mess, static sound. What the fuck is this shit, I thought. I almost got pissed, but I decided to just shut it off and go to bed (because it was getting late). The dream I had was unpleasant. I could see Undead Pet

Secret of Cartoons: The Lost Episode of Max and Ruby

I was channel surfing one day through all the TV shows, and I saw that Max and Ruby was on. However, the episode name was "Episode 0." Out of curiosity, I put it on. And for childhood sake. It had just started and finished the intro. But they kept waving, as if waiting for a reply. Then the screen went blank. A white blank. Waiting for the next move, the screen tu rns into snow and then the screen distorts as Max enters the room. After the screen is fixed, Ruby enters also. There is no sound. But by the body language, they are arguing about something. Not regular episode arguing. Serious arguing. Ruby rolls her eyes and leaves the room. Confused about what had just happened, I decide to keep watching. The screen yet again proceeds to go blank and a new scene starts. An earlier one to the one that had just happened. A very early one. Perhaps a few years ago? Max looks very small, but he’s holding a knife, covered in blood. As the screen is distorting and stretc
