Stealth Pilots

[adultswimfan]

I've heard a lot about stealth pilots and I was wondering if whenever a stealth pilot is shown, if it is guaranteed to be on AS.

I've never heard of one not showing, but the stealth pilot for rabbot was longer than the one currently shown, so maybe that counts. The last stealth pilot was Finkle Files, something that in no way belongs on AS, but, unfortunately, that's showing in November.

What is this Finkle Files?

It was a pilot for a CCF show. It was so bad they wouldn't play it, so it's dumped here as another "special". It's about Jewish children at a Rabbi school.

So bad? Blech. It's on Adult Swim because of the numerous religious references.

Anyway, stealth premieres occur when Adult Swim doesn't air a pilot by the time it's contracted to air. This happened to a couple shows. Here's what has had "stealth premieres" so far.

Sealab 2021 - "Radio Free" (12/21/00)
The Brak Show - "Bawk ba Gawk" (12/21/00)
Sealab 2021 - "Happy Cake" (12/30/00)
Sealab 2021 - "I, Robot" (12/30/00)
Aqua Teen Hunger Force - "Rabbot" (12/30/00)
Harvey Birdman - "Bannon Custody Case" (12/30/00)
Welcome to Eltingville - "Bring Me The Head of Boba Fett" (2/26/02)
The Finkel Files - Pilot (7/18/02)

Also if you want to count these. These aren't pilots of course, but I guess CN got sneaky with the schedule.

SGC2C - "Kentucky Nightmare" (5/7/01)
SGC2C - "The Justice Hole" (7/22/01)
