Weinerville was a live action / puppet that originally aired on Nickelodeon on July 11th 1993 to June 16th 1994. The series was a critical and commercial success but ended just after 2 seasons due to the decrease of popularity and copyright issues with the cartoons that were featured. Nickelodeon hadn't broadcasted any episodes since 1997, making episodes very hard to find.
In 2008, 24 episodes appeared on a private torrent tracker and were eventually uploaded to Youtube. A few other episodes and specials made its way online before mega upload was taken down in 2011. Of the 62 episodes, 37 have yet to be found.
