Little Shop (Lost Episodes of 1991 TV Show)

In 1991, a French-American Television Series aired on Fox & La Cinq (a defunct French Television Network), called Little Shop. The said show being based on the broadway musical Little Shop of Horrors, which is based on the 1960 movie The Little Shop of Horrors. While the concept for this adaption is given to Ellen Levy & Mark Edward Edens, the show was created by Jean Chalopin (best known as the founder of DIC Entertainment & the co-creator of Inspector Gadget), and the show was produced by animator Tom Tataranowicz (who first animated for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe).

The show was about Seymour Krelborn, an adolescent, self-proclaimed nerd who works in a little flower shop owned by Mr. Mushnik. His daughter, Audrey, is the love of Seymour's life, yet she doesn't seem to notice, or even understand his affections. Also there's a bully named Paine Driller who constantly targets Seymour in his bullying. Seymour also has a pet flytrap named Junior. Junior was once a 200 Million Year Old seed until he was found by Seymour in a junk yard. Once he was cared for by Seymour, he sprouted into a Venus Flytrap that raps and talks in hip-hop dialect. And unlike the musical, he's on Seymour's side... and has eyeballs. Also, the horror elements that were in the musical were cut as Little Shop was a Childrens' Show. Little Shop ran for only 13 Half-Hour episodes until it ended only two months after its premiere in September of 1991. As of the creation of this article only 1 episode of the show (the pilot episode known as "Bad Seed') is known to exist as it was recorded by VHS, and uploaded onto YouTube.
