    33:09 theres nothing cryptic about this, he just explained it REALLY badly. he said that the show doesn't have much of a plot, but the episode was teaching kids a lesson about how when you just wait for something to happen, you start getting bored waiting and time goes by very slowly. but if you do something while you wait, you will have more fun and time goes by quicker!

    33:17 i think she meant that the pilot doesn’t really have a plot in itself, its more like it only had a premise. The premise talks about how when you’re a kid and you’re constantly thinking about or waiting for something it feels like it takes forever. On the other hand however, when you’re having fun and enjoying yourself or when you are involved with other things (not constantly waiting for something to happen) it feels like time passes quicker. For example a mother promises her child they’re going to get ice cream, but only once she finishes some work she has to do; if the child spends the entire time thinking about the ice cream and how longer he’s gonna have to wait, it feels like time is moving slower. However, if instead of constantly thinking and worrying about the ice cream, he goes and plays outside with his friends, before he notices, his mom will have finished her work and they can go get the ice cream (because he was having fun, time went by faster). At least this is what I understood from the text !!

    Referring to what the producer said about concept of the pilot, I think she means it was talking about how when we are waiting for things to happen, time feels very slow, but when we do things while waiting for time to pass, time feels very fast; and this concept is taught to young children to teach them to busy themselves while passing the time so it doesn't feel like they're waiting forever.

    Re: the meaning of the 'cryptic' pilot that Mr Bones had talked about, if you've ever heard the old adage of 'a watched kettle never boils' or others like it, it's that. If you want to get from the time you're at right now to a later time, it's going to mentally feel like the time is taking longer. The best way to make time pass faster is to get occupied with something else! This is why the slow parts of a work day feel like they take the longest, even if time does not change what speed it flows at.

    Maybe there’s something on the pilot they don’t want us seeing? Usually that’s the case with lost media pilots.

There’s probably something or someone attached to this pilot that no one knows about that would make waves.

    I have a theory about why people who have copies refuse to release it. If the theory about Viacom taking down your original video is correct, then it's possible they reached out to everyone that they knew had a copy and threatened to sue them if they leaked it. Very conspiratorial I know, but I would absolutely not put it past that company, especially if they indeed shut down your original video under the pretense of a fake death threat. Also, the pettiness of the Backyardigans wiki is very weird. My theory on that is that they wanna find the pilot themselves, rather than watch you and lostcast find it and get all the glory that comes with it. Super petty, but that strikes me as the only reason why they would withhold information or even send spies into your server

    i work in TV at a major production company and will say right now that no matter the company, unless the company is far defunct, it is incredibly taboo to share unreleased materials. when a production is made, the production companies involved normally have papers on papers of legal jargon to protect media like this from being leaked without the leaker being reprimanded. at 40:45 you say that he doesnt work at Nick anymore and sharing it shouldnt be a problem. far from it. I interned at paramount (a viacom company) a few years back and they were explicit that anything i saw was confidential until publicly released. we employees were shown that knuckles was going to be on Sonic 2 some time before the official reveal came out. by time the reveal trailer came out, i was already working somewhere else. by your logic, i couldve went and told people. but i want to have a career still lol so i didnt and nobody else did for the same reason. confidentiality is king in the entertainment world. since Nick produced this pilot, they own the rights to it. the johnny bravo pilot's rights are owned by the creator so you cant ask LMU for a copy. if someone leaked it, he could easily sue whoever was involved same way viacom can do for this pilot. so while i hope this eventually gets found, anybody who has a copy is not sharing it cus they legally cant

    I appriciate you guys looking into this kind of stuff, but contacting ex-employees who worked on it is risky. Even if they don't work for Nickelodian anymore, there could be NDAs in place that would dissuade them from giving out information, let alone a copy of the pilot. Even if there's no real legal threat, the treat of being blacklisted within the industry is high. The ones who are brave even to even respond to such requests are the outliers. I think the only real hope of finding it is if it's somehow around out there in public and just hasn't been discovered yet, but I highly doubt it.

    Would these ex employees be in trouble since these materials and vhs are still consider confidential company material, viacom would come for them by stating them as stolen company property. These workers may not work there anymore, but those are still legally copyrights and owned by the company. They only way to release is for many of these exworkers to release ot anonymously and without telling anyone or the company permission, from the looks of it

    A great lost media search for me is the search of finding the lost fix it Felix jr arcade cabinets produced by Disney back in 2012 that used to be in the defunct Disney quest. Not the fix it felixes that people made out of their own with using an inaccurate sticker kit Update: one of the cabinets has been found in an arcade in New York. But, the other units are still lost

    Watching this from my perspective is kind of funny. I can see where you guys are coming from with, wanting to find the media, wanting to see it, and wanting to release it. Why can't you just get a hold of it and make it public? You don't see a downside and you've worked so hard. You guys aren't acting like you are entitled to it, but are disappointed/angry that you can't have it. As an adult that has worked places with sensitive information (more serious than just a pilot video of a series) I still understand where all these workers are coming from. With anywhere I've worked as a full time employee I've been given warning and signed papers as part of the contract for employment saying that releasing information would get me fired and sued, or possibly arrested. Talking about some things like remembered experiences is one thing but sharing that property that I'm sure these people don't feel like is their property, and that they aren't the ones to make the decision to share it, is scary. Scary either legally or ethically.

    Backyardigans turns 20 years old this year. I get the impression if Nick has anything at all they will post clips same with the Nick digital animation and didicate it to Janice. Reason I say this they did that for the Blues Clues pilot when it was 20-25 so I have a feeling that if Nick has anything we may see something than. Thank you Janice for bringing these characters into our lives. Rip. Also 3:25 My guess is the pilot was about one of the characters was bored waiting for someone to possibly take them somewhere? And the others helped them pass the time by playing games/using their imagination? Best I can come up with. Also I think the lady who has it may have just been worried she might get into legal stuff releasing it without permission. Which is understandable.
