Status: Partially Found

Tooned In! is a lost game show pilot that was taped at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida in 1998. It is currently unknown why it wasn't greenlit by Nickelodeon. 

Availability

The only known footage of Tooned In! online is in a 5-minute compilation video created by former crew members of Nickelodeon Studios for its 10 year anniversary in 2000.

Only around 5 seconds of video have surfaced, without the original audio. There is very little information about this pilot available, and whether or not Nickelodeon still has it in their possession remains unconfirmed.

According to Justia's Trademarks database, Nickelodeon filed in the Nickelodeon's Tooned In trademark in July 1998 and it was abandoned in May 2001 due to no statement of use.

New Series

Nickelodeon eventually picked up the show in 2021, with the first episode of this new incarnation airing on February 8th. It is unknown if anything from the original pilot (aside from a cartoon character as the host) was used in the new series.[1]

Differences

  • The presenter of the pilot is a bear, but in the final version the presenter is a robot named Nicky, probably the two characters may have the same name
  • in the pilot there were two presenters, one being animated, and the other being in real life, already in the first season of the series, it was just the robot Nicky presenting the program, but already in the second season, they called Jerry Trainor to be the co-host
  • in the final series, the animated presenter is in a type of machine, in the pilot the presenter walks and talks with the other presenter in open air
  • the pilot used green screen for the scenario, in the final series the scenario is totally real, they probably did this to make it easier to edit the program
