Full Version: The way to get the unaired pilot
USA Network Forums > Past Programs > The Dead Zone
VIEWMASTER
First off I am a fan from the beginning of the show. I am a regular viewer of the board but never posted. I got season 1 for christmas when it first came out, but it was too late to get the unaired pilot. I been looking on the net since then trying to find the unaired pilot. In July of 2005 I found a phone number on a dvd talkback website. I called the number and got a machine(I did not leave a message) I called back later and talked to a lady. She said the promotion was over but she would gladly send me one for free. I got the unaired pilot in less then a week.

Here is the phone number 1(310)255-3746

Here is the link http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.ph...age=1&pp=25

good luck

did you pay for shipping and handling or they just sent the dvd to you???
VIEWMASTER
They just sent it to me for nothing. No shipping, no handling just free.
Yvonne
Do they also have an e-mail contact? I'm not so good with speaking english on the phone. Especially not with complicated conversations about shipping overseas.

Hi and welcome.

Thank you for the number, I will be calling!
I didn't get my season 1 until season 2 started so missed out on the unaired pilot. Hope they don't run out before I call.
Bex
Thanks Viewmaster!!!

I just called her and she is sending me the DVD today.

Yvonne: I told Ginger about your wanting one and being overseas. She said you can call her or email me your address and I will call her back and give her your address. She is very easy to understand and is very nice. Let me know if you have a problem and I'm happy to relay info for you. Good luck!!!

I've just wrote you a private message Bex. It would be great if you could help me out. Sadly me talking English is an awful thing and I fear that I would pronounce my address wrong and the whole thing won't work out in the end.

I'm still totally stunned. They still give out the DVDs? And I was wondering how much I would have to pay on ebay in the end.

can i call the number from australia or do i have to put in some area code?

Hi Bex,

Im from the uk, and been after a copy of the unaired pilot for ages, I even got someone to order a boxset in the us, and send the coupon of, except it was close to the deadline, and I never got the the dvd boxset sent back to the uk. Can you either send me the email address to get the disc, or can I send you my address via a private message?
thanks.

Steve: Did you call the number in the first post of this thread? When I called last week the gal @ Lion's Gate had only a few left so I'm not sure what the status is.

If you've called the number and have gotten no response I can call and try to have her send one to you. If you leave a message she's really good at calling back and helping out. I'm just not sure if she has any left. She's in Los Angeles so she's on pacific time if that helps any at all.

Good luck!

It may be difficult, as I'm at work at the moment.
Not sure about all of the time differences. Its 2.10pm here, so what time would pacific time be?
And if im able to call via work, what time would likely be convienent? And whats her name?
Bex
It is 6:45 am in LA right now. Her name is Ginger. Try calling in 2-3 hours.

Bex

I'll see if I can call at work and leave a message,

Thanks.
Bex
Send me your address and I'll see what I can do for you.

Bex
drunkenmastertwo

Thanls.
drunkenmastertwo
Thanks,

Ive sent a Private message with my address.

Steve
Bex
DZ Fans: Please do not call the posted number anymore. The DVD's are all gone. Sorry!
johnny4sarah
would it be possible for someone to sell copies of their bonus disk on ebay??
Latoya
quick question. when i called i didn't get anyone just voice mail. i just left my address and said what i was callingi for do you think it'll work or should have talked to someone.
Yvonne
Maybe you should try calling again and asked if she had sent your disc out.

BTW - I got mine in the mail today! *squee*

@Bex: Thank you so much for helping me out with this. I'm grinning all over my face now. I already told my husband we will have to watch it tonight.
Latoya
I GOT MINE TODAY!!!!!!!! It was great. I see why they changed Dana's the one in the pilot looked to much like Johnny to be a love interest for him. They could've been brother and sister. Cause they both had short blonde hair and blue eyes.
TheRealDeadHead
Got mine today!! Thank You Ginger you're the BOMB!!
brattytxn
Can I ask for spoilers for the disc? Did Johnny kill Stillson? Was Bruce in it? Did he try to stop him?!!
Bex
So glad you folks got the disk!!!

I'm probably opening myself up for blond jokes, but it took me a while to figure out why I couldn't post. Apparently, I logged myself out. g/f! Jeez!

Bratty: Didn't go there. Yes. No. (Maybe I need to see it again since my blond roots are taking over my brain!!)

Hi,

Finaly got my disc yesterday,
Thanks to Ginger and to Bex.
Unfortunly theres a scatch on the disc.
That effects the playback of the disc.
still watched it last night.
It affected 2 scenes
and 2 deleted scenes.
Im hopefull that it can be cleaned up.
Of the Unaired pilot,
Didnt think a lot of the original Rev Purdrey
Though liked the original Dana.
It's great to finaly able to watch it.
Hopefuly get the disc cleaned soon.

Steve

So watching it properly tonight!!!!!!!!!
j1201
I just got the first three seasons. I wonder I if I call the number could I still receive the unaired pilot?
j1201
Is there "still time?"
haha
Ruralstar
I called the number months ago and at the time she told me that there were only a couple of copies left. My guess is that you are out of luck
bringitback
Does any know if there anyway to get the unaired pilot? I can't find it anywhere.

The Unaired Pilot is not available anymore, but check on Ebay once in a while. The odd copy turns up there once in a while.
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, that's sad that they won't put it out there for folks to buy and watch anymore. Good luck to those looking.
