I've probably seen every episode of the Problem Solverz, just because it was the last show on before Adult Swim would start for the night. I got a "bad vibe" from the show - it kinda freaked me out, seemed off, etc for reasons I can't really explain (creepy character designs maybe). I'm morbidly fascinated. That being said, I hope they find the lost media. Nothing deserves to be lost forever.

CN Real still stings.

I remember the Foster's Home promos specifically because they showed during commercial breaks while I watched a CN showing of The Iron Giant (my first time ever seeing it).

Hey LSSQ, there's this really interesting piece of Lost Media called "You Gotta Walk it Like you Talk it (Or you'll Lose that Beat)" from 1971, directed by Peter Locke. It's a comedy film that is said to be terrible, but what's interesting is Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, who would only one year later form Steely Dan, composed and performed the soundtrack for the film. The soundtrack is readily available, but the film is super obscure and completely lost. It's also known that Robert Downey Sr., Robert Downey Jr.'s father, worked on the film, and then-virtually unknown Richard Pryor played his "Wino" character for one of the first times, which later that year would become one of his notable comedy sketches. Peter Locke hasn't completely ruled out a release yet, but he isn't eager to release it, so our only hope is to find a film reel somewhere and dump that. While the film is supposedly really bad, I'd love to see it get found. I know you don't really lost movies, especially from the 70s, but I'd love someone to shine a light on this eventually! There's virtually no standalone videos talking about it, besides my own I'm currently working on. So please talk about this!

Only 2 minutes in, but I had a memory from my childhood and I feel this may be lost media in a sense. Back in 2004-2005, Cartoon Network had an online contest/promotion going on where while watching shows on Australia's Foxtel, you could hit the red button and answer trivia and get points for your 'Eye-D' card, with them used to get goody bags or something. Various cartoon network characters were used for these Eye-D cards, with the one I received having a giant eyeball with it showing the reflections of Bloo (from fosters Home), Mandy (from Grim Adventures), and No. 4 (from KnD). My cards become quite scratched over the years, however I cannot find many images of these online, and feel that while physical, they may count as Lost Media due to their designs being unique.

I remember watching Uncle Gus way back when it premiered as a kid. Had no idea it became lost media. Shame I was too young to know how to record (or too young to appreciate the value of media in general) the show.

I really don't see why people would be on the hunt for those other Subway commercials even though they don't have anything remotely interesting in them, such as exclusive animation. My point being is that the PPG commercial just used a bunch of scenes from the intro and no exclusive animation, which is most likely what these other commercials were.

Thank you for talking about the alfe zines, and my friend’s post about the lost content! We’re really interested in seeing more of the old Ben stuff, and especially the flash animations and zines. It’s been a journey discovering old paperrad zines and having to put together the overarching stories using context clues and a lot of guessing. There’s quite a lot in them that never gets talked about, and I personally really enjoy the stories Ben would write for his characters before they ever got a CN show. The show has a special place in my heart, but the zines are important to me in a different way. They contain the perfect blend of sweet and strange that I wish to accomplish in my own work someday.

I also remember that charter design contest! There was a design your own character tool on CN website and you could email it over to CN when you were completed with it. I made probably 20-30 designs hoping mine would end up on the show. I remember one day before school blue came on a commercial to announce the winner. To my disappointment it wasn’t mine. In fact the winning design was pretty much a slightly altered version of blue himself! I remember this cause blue himself said “that’s one good looking imaginary friend you got there”. I think that was the end of it. The design didn’t end up in the show, just that commercial.

The episodes of Secret Mountain Fort Awesome were on Netflix US around 2014. I watched it around when Uncle Grandpa started airing for that episode, and the episode that had the nerd character from the Uncle Grandpa pilot.

One piece of Cartoon Network lost media I've never heard anyone talk about was the "uncensored" version of Uncle Grandpa season 1 that used to be on Netflix. There were some pretty minor differences, and idk if most of it could actually be called "censorship", but it was different nonetheless. Differences that immediately come to mind: Uncle Grandpa sometimes said "Stay in school, don't do drugs!" instead of just "Stay in school!", like in the pilot episode. Uncle Grandpa occasionally invokes god ("With God as my witness...", "Dear God...", etc.) The first "Xarna: She-Warrior of the Apocalypse" ends with her chasing an actual gas delivery truck to refuel her motorcycle, instead of having a fart joke where she chases a burrito truck instead. (This is the one that I think definitely is censorship) When Xarna arrives at the gas station, she nonchalantly takes a few huffs from the empty gas pump before putting it in her bike. Anybody else remember this version of Uncle Grandpa on Netflix?

I remember those foster promos very well! Mac walks by and the narrator says “Who is that kid”? Wilts walks by and the narrator goes “That guys really tall” Coco walks by and that narrator says “That’s one coco bird” And Edward walks by saying “That’s one fuzzy guy” or something to that extent

Related to the pre-launch Foster's ads... I lived in Mexico for a while in the mid to late '00s, and I used to watch Cartoon Network Latinoamerica a lot. Leading up to New Year's Day 2005, I remember they would air brief promos that teased "something big" happening at midnight on New Year's. This ended up being both the premiere of the Foster's pilot in that territory as well as the introduction for CN City there. For a while I've been curious about these promos that advertised the branding changes, but now I think it's definitely probable that they were repurposing those pre-launch Foster's promos. All I remember for sure is that they showed CN City-like locations, it's perfectly possible they had Foster's characters in them as well. Just an aside. I doubt this in particular will ever be found. At least, this video did make me think that the footage for the promo was already out there.

Yeah, actually the whole rebranding from Powerhouse to CN City in CNLATAM is lost. Those teasers would be easier to find than the rebranding tbh

BTW I am like 50% sure it was just the generic first CN City sign on and immediately transitioned into the CN City theater segments (which helpfully included plenty of Foster's characters already). Without actually having the tape I can't be sure, but it feels correct.

I love ❤️ Cartoon Network

Sorry I didn't actually WATCH until now but thanks for shouting out me dude. I'm so glad to see the topic finally covered. I did make a post about it a while ago on r/lostmedia but also a mention in a video. Here's hoping this gives it the kick it needs.

Thanks for shouting out for the help.

I'm surprised "Out of Jimmy's Head" wasn't mentioned as several episodes are still unavailable in English.

Thank you I love the Problem solverz Yes Im weird I wouldnt Have Ever Thought That Ps Would Have Lost Media I really hope The Fans Of This Show Will " *SOLVE THIS PROBLEM* "

Yes yes yes, do a house party video please! I ground out those awful daily chores for weeks and weeks, until an annual summer Neopets event knocked me out of the routine Wait Uncle Gus and Prickles weren't full shows?! I for sure thought so from them being in the cartoon resort games n others! Lol looks like one of UG's pilots is on KZread, just not in english

It's ironic. This video needs more attention.

Watching lost media videos makes me feel like a detective looking for my next case

I remember watching the problem solvers and secret mountain fort awesome and I love it. I can also see why a lot of people didn't.

Brain Rush was awesome! If I remembered. Contestants would ride a rollercoaster (as we saw) once or twice while answering questions. Once the ride was over, they win cash prizes or nothing at all. It's like the final round of Family Feud

This could be a long shot, but my college Mass Art had a library with a wide collection of zines and one of them was zines made by the creator of Problem Solvers. I’m not sure if one of those zines could be the missing ones but if someone could get to the library it would be good to check!

For the Subway ads I swear when I was a kid I saw on TV that they did a partnership with Nickelodeon with a line of Little Bill toys for the kids meals and line of But Ugly Martian toys for the kids meals. So if those can be found I bet the Cartoon Network ones are out their too.

I had completely forgotten about problem solvers and Smfa. I used to watch them on demand Comcast on repeat.

Excellent video, I love when you talk about Cartoon Network Lost media. everything it's just so interesting. Now, my search. Does anyone from Latin America remember that during december of 2004, they were several promos anouncing that "Something big was being built" I remember watching promos with Number 1, Dexter, Mac, Bloo, and maybe others. The thing is that, they were going to reveal it on the midnight of New Year. And that was when they first presented the new logo, and when the City era started in Latin America, maybe I'm mixing memories, but I'm pretty sure that happened. If anyone has footage from that, I would love to see it.

A cartoon network commercial I believe is lost is one about Grim and Evil, before they became separate shows. It was a narrator talking about the shows as various character's faces fade in and fade out over a black background. At the end, it shows the Grim and Evil logo, then fades to black, but the thing that disturbed me as a child and engraved this in my memory is that immediately before the commercial ends, a skull logo appears on the screen for a split second and a low pitched sound plays. I remember the skull was drawn in the style of a logo, but I don't recall the logo being used in either show. I have searched all over for this, does anyone else remember this?

Didn’t the show debuted on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays back in mid-2001?

The first memory I have of Foster's is a promo where Wilt talks directly to the audience. I can't find that one either. I also remember my brothers and I playing Big Fat Awesome House Party. We had to make a new account each time, cause even when we wrote down our usernames and passwords, they didn't work. My brother did finish the game, which involved the imaginary friend you create for the game helping Bloo find some dirt on Mr. Herriman. While looking around, you find a file on Wilt that reveals he doesn't have a creator. This was before Good Wilt Hunting premiered so that was a nice little teaser. The game ended with Mr. Herriman getting arrested by the fashion police for not changing his clothes for decades. At least that's what I remember.

I seriously love the problem solverz. It was one of my favorite shows they made during the 2010’s. Compared to the shows like the annoying orange show. Its a really fun show- the art styles very out there and the colors could have been better, but i still really enjoyed it. I hope the media is found for it!

Growing up I was a cartoon net work kid thank you for bringing back some beautiful nostalgia :,) Do you think you can do a video about the cartoon network website and lost media on it? Such as flash games and the MMOs on the site :))

Man these edits are awesome

Awesome more Cartoon Network topics. I feel like I was always loving CN more than Nickelodeon but you gotta love both.

Brilliant content

A bunch of the CN Real shows are still on itunes in Australia, but you need an Australian credit card to buy something from there.

I remember the Foster's character creation contest, I believe the winning character was featured in the show or at least that's what it was advertised as. I even attempted to submit something during the time.

Wow, that Track Rats show really caught me off guard! I've been a nascar fan for as long as I remember, and I recognize a single person from the ad. The guy at 20:48 is Daniel Hemric and he actually made his way into nascar and won a championship in 2021. I am very interested in the show now 👀 contacting him could be a good first step!

Nice!

Not sure if they had these around the rest of the country, but I remember cartoon network put up the most absurd bill boards in the metro Atlanta area for grim adventures. Their existence lives in my head rent free lol

I've rewatched The Problem Solverz plenty of times. I love that show

Foster's Home was my childhood. Just seeing Blue and Mac, brought back a lot of memories.

Destroy build destroy was actually pretty dope back in the day

I think secret mountain fort awesome is a endearing show to push the limits of what you could get away with.

I remember the Dexter's Lab DVD set only given away in a contest circa 1999 (I saw ads for it on TV), but didn't remember it being tied to Subway. This is going back to 2003 or so, but I remember a thread on ToonZone (now Anime Supehero) talking about Dexter's Lab that were available through Time-Life. That might be something worth looking into.

I believe I do remember watching promotions for the upcoming Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends TV movie pilot as well as for the show itself, though, I don' think I've ever even known that there were also promos for main other characters from the cartoon as well, so hopefully we'll be able to find the others since the Bloo one was found not too long ago! Definitely a lot of nostalgia though! Hard to believe it's already been almost 20 years since Foster's originally aired, and that was when Cartoon Network was only 12 years old (god, I'm old). XD Honestly, LSSQ, I think I'm gonna have to agree with you when looking back at The Problems Solverz, and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome not being so bad these days anymore especially when compared to so many other cartoons these days where a lot of characters designs look more, or less the same, same with Uncle Grandpa. I feel like people were a bit too harsh on it back then. Not only does it have its own unique art-style, and animation despite being released in the 2010's, but it was also really wacky, and crazy just like the cartoons I grew up with, the series creator Peter Browngardt even stated that he wanted the show to feel like the cartoons he grew up with as a kid, and it definitely shows, and it's something I definitely miss from most American cartoons nowadays, so it's nice to see both shows get more attention again! I actually didn't even know that Problem Solverz even had an Adult Swim TV pilot. Maybe if the show did in fact aired on there instead, it MIGHT would've done (keyword: MIGHT). Regardless, I do hope that TPS, and SMFA's currently remaining lost media get found eventually. I actually do remember The Powerpuff Girls having Subway toys, in fact I even remember when Subway had toys, so it's interesting to see that other CN shows had Subway toys too, maybe we can find if any of them have had any promos for them, or not! Shame we still can't find the Uncle Gus pilot with the original English audio, but perhaps one day, it'll finally resurface. As much as I never want to see anything from CNReal again (why that wasn't its own separate channel I'll never know), and, I do to an extent have some nostalgia with them, though not in a good way, I'm still at least interested on trying to find the lost episodes throughout all these shows. Once again outstanding video, my man! :D Sorry for the long comment... :P
