Post vids of pilots to shows that never got picked up either for good or ill.

The Good
Welcome to Eltingville/The Eltingville Club. Despite airing during the "old people" era of Adult Swim, this thing never caught enough heat to get made.

Constant Payne. Mostly due to timing, apparently it was being shown off right around when 9/11 hit and due to some of the content near the end, CN decided to pass on it without even airing this. I love the Cowboy Bebop-style opening.

Korgoth of Barbaria. A much more recent offering that CN aired. It's probably on adultswim's site somewhere. I liked it because it reminded me of my first few expereinces with D&D back in the late 80's-early 90's.

The Bad
Doozy Bots. This was Sunrise's attempt to bring Gundam over to the united states. The Gundams don't actually show up until almost 90 seconds into it.

There were rumblings not too long ago about Korgoth maybe becoming a real series, but that seems to have died out again. Which is a shame because it was hilarious.

I absolutely loved Korgoth, and it was a lot better than most of the cheap crap Adult Swim green lights lately.

I'd heard about that one coming on, but was never able to catch it.

One I forgot to embed, Plastic Man (voiced by Tom Kenny [Starscream/Spongebob])

Constant payne has some of the freshest animation i've ever seen in a TV show. too bad it didn't get picked up!

You forgot the greatest Pilot of all time, though it's not a cartoon, and that seems to be the trend in this topic, however I don't see anything saying it's only cartoons...

Therefore, behold the awesomeness of:

Heat Vision & Jack!

They used to have the whole pilot online, but it seems impossible to find now.

Life of Larry. Seth McFarlane's 1st attempt at getting his own show.

And Larry and Steve, Sseth McFarlane's 2nd attempt at getting his own show.
