==Episodes Removed From Reruns==
The episodes "Let's Eat Out," "The Gift," and "Treasures" were mysteriously removed from regular rotation early in the show's run, never to be broadcasted again. No one knows for sure what these episodes feature. Still, it is speculated that they were removed from reruns due to being too similar to some of season 2 episodes (for example, "Let's Eat Out" sounds very similar to season 2's "Out to Lunch"). These episodes were pulled from rotation as early as April or May of 1999 and are not in the Disney+ rotation, so chances of any of them being found are slim to none.
In addition to not being included on Disney+, the episodes "Let's Eat Out," "The Gift," and "Treasures" were very rarely aired to begin with. Schedule research on Newspapers.com seems to indicate that initially, the episodes were only shown once or twice (if at all), as most schedule information is available as far back as December 1998 (when the season finished airing), and only the standard 21 episodes of the season appear to have been in regular rotation. However, in the autumn of 1999, the episodes were shown for a brief time. “The Gift” was broadcast on October 6, 10, and 19, November 24, and December 4. “Treasures” was broadcast on October 11, 16, and 20, and November 26. Currently, it is unknown on when “Let’s Eat Out” was broadcast.
 
No one knows for sure what these episodes feature, but it’s speculated that they were removed from reruns due to being too similar to some of season 2 episodes (the similar sounding “Let’s Eat Out” and “Treasures” premiered around the time of the aforementioned airdates).

Out of the Box Season 2 logo.jpg

The show's logo.

Status: Partially Lost

Out Of The Box is a children's television series that aired on Disney Channel from 1998 through 2004. The show was based on the works of Douglas Love and took place in "The Box," where the show's two hosts, Tony and Vivian, would have kids from the neighborhood video and do various activities, including craft-making, singing and performing plays.

Episodes Removed From Reruns

In addition to not being included on Disney+, the episodes "Let's Eat Out," "The Gift," and "Treasures" were very rarely aired to begin with. Schedule research on Newspapers.com seems to indicate that initially, the episodes were only shown once or twice (if at all), as most schedule information is available as far back as December 1998 (when the season finished airing), and only the standard 21 episodes of the season appear to have been in regular rotation. However, in the autumn of 1999, the episodes were shown for a brief time. “The Gift” was broadcast on October 6, 10, and 19, November 24, and December 4. “Treasures” was broadcast on October 11, 16, and 20, and November 26. Currently, it is unknown on when “Let’s Eat Out” was broadcast.

No one knows for sure what these episodes feature, but it’s speculated that they were removed from reruns due to being too similar to some of season 2 episodes (the similar sounding “Let’s Eat Out” and “Treasures” premiered around the time of the aforementioned airdates).


Availability

The show had 82 episodes spread across 3 seasons, but only two of them, "Happy Holidays"[1] and "Halloween," [2] were released to home video. There were two VHS releases: the first was of the episode "Happy Holidays," and the second release had the episode "Halloween" on it. In addition, "Halloween" was released on the DVD Rolie Polie Olie: A Spookie Ookie Halloween and The Book Of Pooh: Just Say Boo![3] as a bonus feature. Besides this, 11 other episodes have been found in full, alongside clips of "Revealing Feelings."

On October 14th, 2019, it was confirmed that the show would be among the TV shows featured on Disney's new streaming service Disney+ which launches on November 12th, 2019.[4]

Episode List

See "episodes removed from reruns" for further information on episodes 6, 21 and 22.

On November 12th, 2019, Disney+ made the whole show available (aside from episodes 6, 21, and 22) on its streaming service on its launch day.[5]
