Brad Francini has three clips of the Newton pilot on his website (http://gscentral.net/nmedia.htm) (uploaded "by request"; make of that what you will), and clips from both pilots were shown in series-debut promos back in 2002.

And I second Dale's gratitude on your uploading the 1983 episodes, especially since I don't have GSN.

I make of that somebody asked him to do it.

I guess you could make a mashed potato volcano of that if you want. Go nuts.

That? I could make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl... (http://\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2z1M3wzz-Q/S7uhRH_OGRI/AAAAAAAAAQo/2r6LjWbRaJE/s1600/Johnny-from-Airplane-790959.jpg\")

If you click around on that site, there are some clips of the piliot.

The energy part they got, in spades...

About the Whammy Guard...was it actually achieved in the pilot? Because I am wondering if it had an animation(s) to go with it. One thing I noticed about W!'s whammy animations was that he doesn't get blown up, maimed, etc. as much as he did in the original series. I wonder if they saved that for Whammy Guard animations if they had any.
