Best TV Episodes Never Made

Red Dwarf Series 3 Episode 7 & 8: "Intruders Part 1" & "Intruders Part 2"
Whilst exploring a run down science station, the Boys from the Dwarf find a multiversal tractor beam. Lister wants to pull a version of Kochanski, Rimmer wants a friend which isn't "you, you or you", whilst Cat would be happy with anyone who is as cool as he is "as almost impossible as that is!", whilst Kryten says they need a doctor or engineer to help with the repairs.
An argument breaks out and the machine is damaged seemingly unsuccessfully pulling anything through. They return to the Dwarf dejected, and fail to notice both the Blue Police Box in the hangar and the ominous of marching feet from the bowels of the ship.

Cast
Chris Barrie - Rimmer
Craig Charles - Lister
Danny John-Jules - Cat
Norman Lovett - Holly
Robert Llewellyn - Kryten
Sylvester McCoy - The Doctor
Sophie Aldred - Ace
David Banks - Cyber Leader
Gerard Murphy - Scorpio Station Computer

Written by Doug Naylor, Ben Aaronovitch, & Andrew Cartmel
Directed by Ed Bye

When BBC Two found they had a reasonable budget left in place after a comedy project fell apart, they asked the Red Dwarf team if they had an any ideas for a special episode or two parter. Grant & Naylor joked about doing a Doctor Who crossover, and were surprised when BBC One gave it the green light.

Sylvester McCoy & Sophie Aldred reprised their roles, as both The Doctor & Ace. David Banks returned as the Cyber Leader. The script was written in a rush and despite reports, it was Ben Aaronovitch who came up with the Cyber Leader getting computer senility when he uploads into Holly.

The shoot went well, and the raised ratings profile for Red Dwarf resulted in a bump to the series 4 budget & promotion. An unexpected side effect was the commissioning of a three part Doctor Who mini series.
 
Oh boy, this is gonna be so good...

Pingu Season 7, Episode 1: "Robby's Family"
Pingu learns that Robby may have a family, and so Robby introduces Pingu to his family, consisting of Ruby, his little sister, Brenda, his mom, and Danny, his dad.

Pingu Season 7, Episode 2: "Robby Finds Love"
Robby bumps into a female seal named Robba one day, and the two eventually develop a relationship.

(BTW, I figured that if a Season 7 of Pingu was ever made, they would likely have some time to introduce more seal characters into the show. I also think that they would've likely shown more of Bajoo, because from the series finale "Pingu and the Abominable Snowman", it looked like they had bigger plans for Bajoo, but didn't have enough time because the show was abruptly cancelled before they could show more of Bajoo.)
 
Yodelin’ Yaks
Episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show
Season: 02
Episode: 03 (alongside Ren’s Toothache)
Directed by: John Kricfalusi, Bob Camp
Written by: Eric Stefani, Vincent Waller, Richard Pursel
Guest apperances: Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic
Song: “The Yodel Song” by Nirvana
Air date: August 22, 1992


Yodelin’ Yaks is the third episode of the second season of The Ren & Stimpy Show. The episode is the first of three to feature grunge/hard rock band Nirvana making an appearance on the show - with Kurt Cobain himself playing Yander the Yak, while Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic play Yander’s minions Rex and Pex respectively. The episode revolves around Ren and Stimpy hiking in the Swiss Alps when Yander the Yak comes to their assistance to help them with his spirit and wisedom.

Yodelin’ Yaks recieved critical acclaim and is considered one of the best episodes of Ren & Stimpy. Fans of the show also claim that the episode “saved” Ren & Stimpy, as series creator John Krickfalusi was nearly terminated by Nickelodeon until the executives changed their mind after the success of Yodelin’ Yaks. The episode’s accompanying song - “The Yodel Song” - would go on to become an international #1 hit and become one of the leading singles for Nirvana’s third album In The Gallows.

Synopsis: Ren and Stimpy plan to hike through the Swiss Alps to eat the mystical “Golden Cheese of Montaine” when they seek the assistance of Yander the Yak (played by Kurt Cobain) - a folksy, gun-ho yak with a tragic past who assists in giving the two all they need to survive. Throughout their hike, the trio (plus Yander’s minions Rex and Pex) encounter frostbite (which is portrayed graphically as usual), multiple avalanches, and wild animals that maul Ren in a running gag (again, graphic close-ups are the usual). Yander senses Ren’s pain and gifts him with his mystical soup. Upon drinking, all of them fall into a not-so-subtle psychedelic experience of which Yander (read: Kurt Cobain) yodels out the lyrics to “The Yodel Song”. This gives them the powers to beat up all the wild animals (but not as graphic as… well you know what) and get the cheese. Ren then prides himself over having beat the much larger animals with his rabid energy and the episode ends.

POD: Eric Stefani quits No Doubt in 1989, five years earlier than OTL, to pursue an animation career. The show he joins just so happens to be Ren & Stimpy. Due to still having an interest in music, he contacts Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and arranges for an episode of Ren & Stimpy starring them. In OTL, there was a rumor that Kurt Cobain had written a song for Ren & Stimpy that was just thrown out, but this was later debunked as false. Here, it actually happens. The episode’s success prevents John Kricfalusi from being fired by Nickelodeon unlike OTL.

P.S. He also becomes a better person and doesn’t sexually assault anyone

Bojack Horseman: The Wedding
Plot: BoJack teams up with Penny to crash the wedding of Mr Peanutbutter and Diane before their kiss.
 
This is me fixing two of my most disliked episodes of Steven Universe: Future

Steven Universe Future E14: Growing Pains

Steven notices he has been weirdly changing size as of late and tries to find out why. Episodes of previous size-shifting troubles are referenced as Steven tries to figure it out. He goes to see Connie's mom, Priyanka, and we learn that Steven's medical records were taken care of by an old friend of Greg's, a nurse who used to live in Beach City prior to moving. She's surprised by this given Greg rarely visits the doctor, but Steven notes that after the nurse left, Greg prioritized Steven's health over his own due to money having been tight until Greg got the check from Marty. It also notes Greg's concern on Steven being checked out due to being half-Gem. The checkup reveals Steven is fine physically though the frustrations of him being half-Gem are noted and the effects it is having on him. Eventually, Connie's mom theorizes that Steven's troubles may be physiological, caused by his uncertainty in growing up along with how to try and deal with some truama. Priyanka manages to go and help Steven for now with comforting words and reassurance. While still feeling concerned, Steven does feel more at ease with things. The episode ends with Priyanka deciding to call Greg and offering a free check-up on his health. Additionally, when he thanks her for it, she notes that they're friends and to call her via her first name; this shows Priyanka becoming closer to the Universes along with having a better appreciation for Greg.


Steven Universe Future E15: Mr. Universe
Trying to find answers on how to move forward, Steven convinces his father for the two to go and visit Greg's childhood home. Throughout, it's clear how uncomfortable Greg is about being back, and notes how his room is no longer the same. Steven is initially confused though notes the unopened letters Greg has sent his parents. He does not tell Greg this and Greg reflects the rather suffocating childhood he had. Steven is not able to understand at first (noting that Greg still lived in a good home), before the two are spooked by a surprise visit: Greg's cousin Andy. Having come to get something, Andy goes and offers to help Steven out while Greg goes to check up on something. The two talk, with Steven sharing what he found of the letters. Andy notes it isn't surprising given how they are and notes how when he began reconnecting with the family, Greg's parents were the ones he wasn't able to connect with. Andy reminds Steven there's more to parenting than just providing good shelter and food. While yes Greg's parents may have provided with that and safety, they were not very supporting emotionally. As Andy notes, looking back, he understood better why Greg never talked about his past and that he was a good parent to Steven. When Steven asks about the lack of direction in life, Andy comforts him by pointing out alot of people don't know what they want to do in life, especially since people always change. Andy himself notes how much things have changed, especially since meeting Steven, but that it's okay. It's all part of growing and changing. Feeling refreshed, Steven has another talk with his dad and apologizing for having misjudged the situation. Greg himself shows some laments on what happened, but ultimately, his parents made their choice. Andy decides to accompany the three back to Beach City to spend time there and they began brainstorming career ideas for Steven, the three merrily enjoying themselves.

A couple more would be Season 6 Teen Titans episodes:

Teen Titans S6E3 (Episode 68)- "Bad Girls"
This episode would be a rather more lax one after the seriousness that came before and what will come after. It was also based off an idea originally planned for the spin-off comic before being promoted to an episode. Here, the Titans have to deal with a rash of crimes committed by a bunch of young women who each claim to be the daughter of various supervillains such as Ding Dong Daughter (daughter of Ding Dong Daddy), Maddie Mod (daughter of Mad Mod), Madamoiselle Rouge (daughter of Madame Rouge)& Joystick (daughter of Control Freak). It's revealed that all of them are the same person: none other than Kitten, daughter of Killer Moth. She was doing all of this to try and get information from the Titans about where her father is (it's revealed that they were all taken and imprisoned). She attempts to intimidate them before breaking down in tears, noting she misses her dad, even noting that all she wanted from him was time as a father. They are able to arrange for him to be on parole in exchange for him giving up on villainy and Kitten doing the same, which she does. The episode heavily implies that she got the tech from Control Freak, as she was caught in her Joystick outfit and knew how to operate his tech (replicating the others' powers through it). This would foreshadow Control Freak's escape as shown in "Misfit Titans" a few episodes later. When asked about this in an interview, it was noted the two formed an "odd friendship" after he escaped. The friendship was described as "dorky older brother and bratty younger sister", but surprisingly caring. Said friendship would be alluded to in the spin-off comic, with the two chatting.

Teen Titans S6E4 (Episode 69)- "Cometfall"
The Titans' rather quiet day becomes disturbed when they have been getting a distress signal from a place they least expect it. From space. As the Titans go and check it out, they end up meeting a rather injured superhero over on the moon. They take him back over to their base to examine and they are shocked to learn he is none other than Captain Comet. A superhero from the 1950s, he is famed for being one of the mightiest and beloved heroes of his time. However, it would be revealed that he left out of not feeling as if he fit in the world at the time, noting how his powers were beyond the norm for humanity of the time. He would bond with each of the young heroes, with the two generations learning from one another. Comet is able to help deal with Dr. Light easily. However, he realizes humanity is still not ready for him yet and he will still need to help out space. However, the twist comes when he asks Starfire if she is from Tamaran. It's revealed that he was injured there as her homeworld is in danger due to open war. This prompts Starfire to try to head to Tamaran by herself, but her team will go with her. With Comet going on ahead, the team agrees to go to space.

Teen Titans S6E7 (Episode 69)- "Ultra Power"
As the Titans are traveling across the Vega System, they stumble across a laboratory being used by their enemies. As they go in, they see the facility was abandoned except for some robotic sentries there. Soon enough as they care of them, they find a containment unit for a powerful chimeric creature... none other than Ultra the Multi-Alien. A fusion of multiple aliens done in a super soldier program gone wrong, he is a berserking individual due to being properly unable to handle his powerful emotions. It takes Starfire along with some help with Robin to help him find inner peace, reassuring him it is okay to be in touch with one's emotions and not to be afraid of them. The focus on Starfire and mental health is prominent, especially as Ultra helps the team tackle a nearby base to weaken support. He thanks them for their help and decides he will go his route in helping the people here, rebuilding his rocket with Cyborg's help.

Episode 8c: Soup's On

The Inspector's shower breaks apart before he can use it, forcing him to use Inspector Deux-Deux's bathroom.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark (2016 Nickelodeon Reboot)

Season 3, Episode 7: Céline

The year is 1906, and Lily Stockman (Anya Taylor-Joy) returns from boarding school to find that a in her abscence Céline, a French nanny, has been hired to look after her younger brother Tommy. Soon however, poor Tommy begins to suffer from high anxiety and a fear of death. When their mother finds what she assumes to be a spider bite on Tommy's neck, Lily quickly realizes that something is indeed very wrong, and that a vampire is likely to blame. Raising the stakes is that unlike with adult victims, child victims stay dead instead of becoming vampires. But will an encyclopedic knowledge of vampire fiction be enough for Lily to figure out who's doing such a horrid thing to her brother? Does the Polish gardener Oskar (John Hasler) have anything to do with it or is he the only one who can give Lily the right clues?

If this is an example of how your reboot would play out, I think this would be one of the scariest episodes due to how Tommy acts.
 
Star Trek Deep Space Nine - B Day

Season 7 episode. The USS Enterprise E and a Federation fleet stop at Deep Space Nine in preparation for an offensive to retake Betazed from the Dominion. Worf and the Defiant are sent along, causing a bit of tension with Riker and Deanna, as Worf, hurting from Jadzia's death is tempted to return to Deanna Troi by her new aggressive militancy to retake her homeworld. The offensive finds Betazoids being treated like the Bajorans in the Occupation by Jem'Hadar and Cardassian forces and Dr Crell Moset experimenting on captive Betazoids. Lwaxana Troi was a resistance leader early on but was too loud and obvious about it and got captured and has to be rescued. She ends up sacrificing herself, but surviving, but losing a hand. Betazed is retaken and Ezri and Riker convince Worf to let Deanna go with Will when she recovers from the experience.
I feel like the liberation of Betazed should have replaced Star Trek Insurrection as a TNG/DS9 crossover movie…

For series that were never made, my Starfleet Intelligence show is a banger (on my TL)

For series that existed, I’d go with a Dallas series finale where JR is actually killed off
 
The Daffy Duck Show
Alternate universe where Daffy is the face of Looney Tunes and so gets the primetime show on ABC. (also a similar universe to my Plucky Duck wikibox and Daffy cartoon list.)

Episode 1: Daffy and his son Plucky introduce the show with Sylvester the cat trying (and failing) to get on the show.

Episode 2: Daffy talks about the sponsors until Rocky and Mugsy hijack the show when the former gets the idea to go into the "advertisement racket". The episode ends with Plucky dropping sandbags on the two gangsters and rescuing his dad.

Episode 3: Plucky hosts the Halloween show in a Bugs Bunny costume which gets the attention of Elmer Fudd who tries to capture the little duckling until the real Bugs Bunny (accompanied by Daffy and Melissa) shows up and the sight of two of them drives the hunter looney as he runs away with the two laughing.

Episode 4: Pepé Le Pew hosts the show before being distracted by Sylvester (after failing yet another attempt to get Tweety) with white paint on his back getting the skunk to chase after the cat.

Episode 5: Daffy hosts while a grounded Plucky tries to to get on the show include dressing up as a clown, Elmer Fudd, and a knight.

Episode 6: Daffy and Plucky play music with Plucky imitating Elvis as all the cartoons in this episode deal with music, unfortunately this riles up Yosemite Sam who destroys their instruments. In the end Sam is tricked into playing the piano and is blown sky high with one last music number by the two ducks.

Episode 7: Bugs Bunny hosts the show but keeps getting interrupted by Elmer Fudd.

Episode 8: Melissa Duck hosts the show with Daffy and Plucky being out sick, she laments how they would've gone on a vacation with the cartoons playing showcasing fellow Looney Tunes characters in different locals.

Episode 9: Tweety hosts the show with Daffy trying to stop Sylvester from eating Tweety.

Episode 10: Porky hosts the show which showcases his early cartoons including the debut of Daffy.

You know, if we're going to be making Daffy, Melissa, and Plucky a typical family of ducks, maybe the next Daffy Duck show can be a primetime sitcom in the 90s? I can even see it paired up with Pinky and the Brain's primetime airings on The WB.
 
I am thinking here some episodes for some more seasons of the 2012 TMNT show. Rather than the anthology style of Season 5, what if it continued focused on plot?

TMNT2012 S5E1 (Episode 105)- Moving Forward
Shredder is gone. The Foot Clan and their partners in crime are finished. Even most mutants such as Spider Bytez and Mutagen Man were cured. All in all, the past few weeks have seen the Turtles triumph in their goals with Leo leading them. As they celeberate their victory and Karai leaving the hospital, the family must wrestle with what should they do now. The episode is a bit more focused over on character development and interaction rather than action though it includes a few scenes of handling Don Vizioso and his goons. Raph assures Leo that he isn't alone and the brothers have one another and their friends. There is also a bonding moment between Leo and Karai. Karai notes she herself is unsure of what to do. The remnants of the Foot Clan are gone, with Tiger Claw presumably leaving New York. It's also revealed that Bebop and Rocksteady have been unmutated in exchange for working with the police regarding the various crime connections. The episode works as a way of tying loose ends, but also setting things up for the future. This is hinted when a mysterious swordsman arrives in New York, claiming he is here to see Shredder...

TMNT2012 S5E2 (Episode 106)- The Forgotten Swordsman
Karai has been struggling with keeping control of her sect of the Foot Clan, even noting the difficulties of leadership to Shini. More still is the declining membership, leading her to wonder if she should do this. However, her ponderings would be interrupted by a sudden arrival of some other shinobi, while she and Shini do well, the oni-masked man that has led them is a bit too much for them. Before the swordsman could go further, Karai enters her mutant form to chase him off for now. Karai notes the diffcult of her mutant form while she begins suspecting who came after her. Going to the turtles, she reveals about the assailant along with who it is: Hattori Tatsu. A former lieutenant of the Foot Clan, he was Karai's teacher before departing the Foot Clan prior to their relocation to New York City due to personal issues. The episode is focused on Karai and Leo fighting against Hattori. For Leo, it's a reminder that he still has a way left to go regarding swordsmanship though he is still able to overpwer Hattori. However, it is also one on Karai. As Tatsu notes, he is here for the Kuro Kabuto and assume contrpl of the Foot Clan. We learn that he left the Foot Clan due to the growing presence of the Foot Clan over in crime. Hattori is respectful of his former student and of the Turtles, especially with Leo for slaying the Shredder. Karai eventually gets the upper hand and defeats him in combat. However, she grants him the helmet. She notes that his assertation that she does not want to lead the Foot Clan. However, she does turn his offer to return to Japan with him as his right-hand woman, noting she found her family. Tastu leaves as the new leader of the Foot Clan. However, the episode ends with them getting a letter from him, telling them they may meet again along with a picture of a mysterious man with an eerie similarity resemblance to Hamato Yoshi...

TMNT2012 S5E3 (Episode 107)- Terror Train [Start of Journey of Japan arc]
After cross-checking databases and getting help from Jack Kurtzman, they are able to identify the man in the photo Tatsu left them: Hamato Koji. Through using the last of Karai's Foot connections, it seems to confirm he is related to Splinter. The Turtles along with Karai and April decide to head out over to Japan. Casey Jones has noted he will stay behind to watch over the city along with the Mighty Mutanimals. Donatello has planned a route involving crossing the US by train to reach a ship on the outside of the nation that would take them to Japan. Advterised as a road trip episode, it shows the various comical gags and goofs of the Turtles spending time while on the train. However, while riding the rails, they meet a mysterious hobo who claims they ared being spied on. The turtles learn they are not the only stowadays as they have to fend off an attack from a bunch of ghosts, deceased criminals who tied robbing the train decades prior. The turtles are able to win with the help of Shinigami, who also stowed away and uses her knowledge of the occult. The turtles also bond with her there, especially Mikey and touches a bit on her past, such as being half-Japanese and half-English, implying a lonely childhood prior to meeting Karai. The episode ends with them sneaking to the ship, this time all seven of them stowed away. However, a familiar voice implies they're not alone...

Justice League the animated series - "League of Avengers Part 1". Dr. Strange Fate wakes up in his room and starts his daily routine, but something is off. He contacts Super Soldier and Dark Claw to summon the League of Avengers to face this secret crisis.

Justice League the animated series - "League of Avengers Part 2". The Justice League and The Avengers have succeeded in pulling the universes apart, but things still don't seem to be right.

Unfortunately Avengers animated show ended before Justice League started but maybe it took 2 years of negotiations to get the crossover. Maybe last two episodes of the first season.

The Amalgam universe was created when DC and Marvel universes became blended together. Dr Fate + Dr Strange = Dr Strange Fate. Some of the fusions worked, some didn't as characters. Pretty fun comics run.

TMNT2012 S5E4 (Episode 108)- Blade, Claw, & Shell
The Turtles arrive over on the ship heading to Japan with them and their allies practicing their Japanese, including April. Meanwhile, Donatello has also been looking up more info over on Hamato Koji, showing he is becoming more capable of hacking. We learn that Hamato Koji was Hamato Yoshi's cousin. Koji's father was the younger brother of Splinter's father and had departed the Hamato Clan prior to Yoshi's birth. Despite this seeming estranged relationship, he would maintain the image and iconography of the clan. Of course, while exploring the ship, the Turtles and their allies learn they are not alone; they are attacked by none other than Tiger Claw. Having been trying to smuggle his way back to Japan. Tiger Claw and his goons are outnumbered though Tiger Claw is shocked to learn that Hattori Tatsu has gotten the Kuro Kabuto and we later see the blind swordsman himself is on the ship, though not secretly unlike the others. Tatsu is shown to have his own hidden agenda and prove to be a wild card. While not necessarily an enemy of the Hamato Clan, he enjoys his skirmishes with them. Meanwhile, he and Tiger Claw fight, as the latter tries to relciam the Kuro Kabuto from him. Tiger Claw's chance for vengeance fails and he seemingly leaves the ship. The episode was focused on partial teasing of the mystery along with setting up potential nuggets for Tiger Claw and Tatsu in the future. And of course the comical gags of how unaware the ship's passengers were to all this.

TMNT2012 S5E5 (Episode 109)- Welcome to Japan
The Turtles and their allies awaken to finally arrive over in Japan. With only marginal trouble, they sneak off the ship and begin making their way over though the nation in the dead of night. The Turtles find that they are able to walk with little trouble at night through Japan. Some think it is because they are wearing costumes while others think it is because they are yokai. A montage of the episode is done in silent choreography over in them using their shinobi skills in the dead of night. Eventually, they make their way over to the remains of the Hamato Clan compound, only to be shocked by what they found. The compound has been rebuild and now seems to be a historical site with some tourists. The Turtles also begin having flashbacks to their temporal escapade while here. We also learn that Karai is actually aware of them traveling in time, having told her a little while ago. She noted that she was shocked at this and didn't blame them for anything, chalking it up to "time travel rules." During their discussion on what they learned, April questions if the Hamato Clan's uncertain future is what led to most defecting to follow Oroku Saki for the sake of purpose. Karai notes how the Foot Clan became a criminal syndicate under Shredder and that many of them left him when the Turtles became involved. They sneak into the compound at night with Karai unable to help herself in looking around. However, she ends up being attacked by a kunoichi, only to be surprised when each claim to be a Hamato. The girl reveals herself to be Hamato Hana, Koji's daughter and he is shocked when Karai reveals herself to be Miwa and the turtles giving proof they are of the Hamato Clan. The episode is known for being surprisingly light on the action, barring flash backs and focusing more on plot growth and the like.

TMNT2012 S5E6 (Episode 110)- History of Hamatos
The stressful situation of the revelations of the past episode is defused thanks to Mikey. Hana attempts to remain serious though becomes nervous when asked if she should be here. She calms down and they go to the outskirts to discuss things. Hana reveals that her father Koji is a rather successful buisnessman and was not aware of his heritage and connection to the Hamato Clan until after the compound was destroyed. While Koji's father may have left the clan, he was never marked off and through legal means, would inherit the area. Koji had the compound rebuild and serving as a sort of museum and historical site. Hana herself became enamored with the story of the Hamato Clan and would quickly befriend the group though what they knew. She would also introduce them to her father. While unsurprisingly shocked, Hana is able to calm him down and the Turtles get some answers. According to Koji, his father left the Hamato clan after the final battle between them and the Foot Clan, viewing it as a relic of a bygone era. Despite this, Koji noted how his father died of heartbreak for never reconciling with his brother (Splinter's father) prior to his own death. Koji also shares the the history of the Hamato Clan's founding and what began the long feud between them in the Foot, until they were the last two ninja clans left. The Hamato Clan leader (also named Koji) formed the clan to protect peasants from the shadows, with the blood feud between the Hamato and the Foot beginning from their contrary philosophies.
