S.O.S. – Searching for 'Space Rover Rescue' Pilot!

OMG, does anyone here remember 'Space Rover Rescue'? That intergalactic cartoon show that was all the rage in the mid-'90s Saturday morning roster? They aired the pilot once, and it was the talk of the playground! Aliens, spaceships, and that adorable robot sidekick! I've trawled through page after page of online archives, but it's like it just disappeared. If anyone's got a recording, you’re my hero. This is more elusive than a shiny Pokémon, for real!

Got a massive VHS collection but I don't have 'Space Rover Rescue', sorry. Did you try reaching out to the animation studio's alumni? Sometimes ex-employees keep that stuff. Best of luck!

Behind the scenes tidbit - 'Space Rover Rescue' had a pilot that was considered way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the show got canned. Only a few copies of the pilot were distributed for test audiences. I might know someone who worked on the production. No promises, but I’ll ask around.

Good luck with the hunt lol. Heard that the last guy who found a copy got abducted by the aliens from the show. Watch out for UFOs while you're at it!

Just came here to say that adorable robot sidekick was my childhood hero! I’ve checked some old forums, no luck. But I'll keep my eyes open.

I've been collecting lost media for years and 'Space Rover Rescue' is known for being notoriously hard to find. I actually have a lead via a private collector in Japan. Apparently, quite a few American shows made their way overseas in the '90s. If I get a copy, I'll make sure to digitize it and share. Fingers crossed!

Dude, Space Rover Rescue was my jam! That pilot episode had better animation than most of the stuff today. No luck finding it, but I'll defo ask my older brother, he used to record a bunch of shows on VHS back in the day.
