Status: Partially Lost

Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre is a restaurant chain started in 1977.

At Pizza Time Theater and any other animatronic restaurant chain, the programming for the characters, the lighting effects, video footage, and the show's audio were stored on showtapes (or as of recent showdisc).

Fate

It is rumoured that most showtapes were recycled somewhere or destroyed due to them being labelled as obsolete. However, collectors have archived as many tapes as possible.

It is unknown if any of the lost ones will ever be uncovered due to their unknown fate.

On April 2nd, 2016, a YouTube channel by the name of Pizza Time Theatre uploaded a majority of Pizza Time Theater's library of showtapes. Showbiz Pizza's official internet radio station Radio Showbiz also ever so often play segments of Pizza Time Theater showtape and also has two scheduled block decided to them. One called Pizza Time Tuesday (dedicated to the Main showptapes) and One called Lounging in the Cabaret (dedicated to Lounge and Cabaret showtapes) both of which airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays respectively. Just about all found Pizza Time Theater Shows are available to the public, and to this day, remain that way.
