The Wild Thornberrys Pilot Episode (1998)



On September 1, 1998, the pilot for The Wild Thornberrys aired on Nickelodeon. The episode involved the Thornberrys trying to acquire footage of an elusive black rhino in order to save their TV show from being cancelled. They end up getting the footage they need, and the show is saved.

For whatever reason, this episode was not included on any DVD releases of The Wild Thornberrys, and has faded into obscurity. It is unknown if its September air date was the only time it was broadcast or not, though it certainly seems that way due to the episode's sheer lack of attainability.
