The movie is finished. The cast and crew have been paid, post-production is done. All it needs is an advertising campaign and to be sent to the theaters. Except it isn't, at least not at the speed most of its completed brethren do. The act of being "shelved" is one of the oddities of the movie business. There are many reasons that a completed movie is set aside: a matter of timing, Executive Meddling, dissatisfaction with the result, corporate restructuring, unexpected copyright problems, etc. It can last anywhere from a couple months to forever. Compare Keep Circulating the Tapes (where the rights holders don't release copies for purchase after broadcast), Ashcan Copy (where the work was produced only to maintain the rights and was never intended for wide publication), Development Hell (where the work is never completed or takes an extraordinarily long time to complete), Missing Episode (where the work is released, but lost afterwards) and Sequel Gap (where the movie takes a normal time to make but it has been a long time since the last installment). See also Release Date Change, though that one doesn't have only delays. |

Police, Camera, Action! had episodes produced in May/June 2002 meant for airing in 2002-2003, but with the show's host, Alastair Stewart, the host being convicted of drink-driving in July 2003 the episodes didn't air until January 2006. The episodes "ASBO Drivers" and "Two Wheel Terror" were produced prior to the new Title Sequence launched on the episode "Inexperienced Drivers" but didn't air until 16th January and 17th January 2008, but as this is an episodic show, it didn't matter that much. |

Bob's Beach. This rather obscure German-Luxembourgish series was already finished and ready to be released in 2005, but for unknown reasons it would never see the light of day until 2012 when Oznoz hosted the two seasons of the show, and it aired on German TV in 2014. The outdated CGI and the 4:3 format of the show (as opposed to 16:9) practically prove that the show was supposed to air in the 2000's. | |

Atlus's lack of a dedicated European branch or partner caused this to happen to their games for a long time. Shin Megami Tensei IV is the most notorious example. It had the fastest turnaround of any Atlus game from Japan to NA, coming out only two months apart. The European release took well over a year with no information, and finally came out in October 2014. Using the exact same English localization as NA with no other language options added in the wait, and digital only. | |

Immortality is currently languishing on the shelf due to Executive Meddling on a governmental level. Filming was completed in 2020, it passed censorship and was set for an April 2021 release date... and then the Chinese government cracked down on adaptations of danmei novels. | |

Rayman Legends was set for a Spring 2013 release as a Wii U exclusive, but after the poor sales of the Wii U exclusive launch title ZombiU, Ubisoft decided that it should be Multi-Platform instead. Instead of releasing the Wii U version for the Spring and the other versions for September, they released the Wii U version alongside the other versions in September. | |

The sequel to the cell phone game Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile! titled Clone Home was set to be released in 2006, however Sony decided to cancel the game at the last minute for seemingly no reason. According to an employee at Javaground the game was fully finished and ready to release. Unless someone who worked on the game ends up leaking it online, it's unlikely the game will ever see the light of day. | |

In 1987, Prince put together a deliberately nameless album (colloquially known as The Black Cover after its all-black sleeve) as a follow-up to Sign o' the Times, but shelved it at the last minute after apparently becoming convinced that its content was spiritually evil, putting together the Lighter and Softer album Lovesexy in its place. As some copies had already been sent out to press reviewers, the album ended up getting bootlegged on a massive scale. Eventually, Prince allowed Warner (Bros.) Records to release it in 1994 in an attempt to fulfil his contract with the label sooner; he would still disown the album, however, and it went out of print shortly after. | |

Eleven years after Chumbawamba's 1992 album Jesus H. Christ was buried by a mountain of legal issues, the band announced on their website that they would be releasing it in some form or another in the near future. This never happened. (Given that it likely would've been shorn of its samples — and thus would've resembled the Shhh album again — this was probably for the best.) | |

The Simpsons: "The Man Who Came to Be Dinner" was supposed to be the season 24 finale, but it got pulled because the production crew felt the episode's plot would be better used for a sequel to The Simpsons Movie. They later changed their mind and it aired in the middle of season 26. (A similar occurrence happened during production of "Kamp Krusty".) "Simpson Tide" and "Lisa's Sax" were written in 1995, produced in 1996, and meant to air in Season 7. For unknown reasons, they were held over and didn't air until Season 9. This explains why Lunchlady Doris had a speaking role in the latter despite her voice actress having died two years prior. Even if they started dubbing season 4 in French in early 1993, none of it could air. The reason? Canal+ replacing the show with Rugrats in October 1992, the very week after season 3 finished airing. The episodes were finally shown beginning on September 4, 1993, but they likely weren't in the timeslot The Simpsons used from 1990 to it's unfortunate cancellation in France in October 1992. |

The Looney Tunes revival short, (blooper) Bunny!, was completed in 1991 but Warner Bros. refused to release it until 1997, reportedly because director Greg Ford refused to cut Daffy's line about WB not having "an original bone in their body," a line which the studio executives were greatly unamused by. It was given a quiet release on Cartoon Network before airing on The WB once one of the network's executives encountered a party guest who had seen the short and loved it. | |

Vanillaware's debut game, Odin Sphere, was completed in 2006, but publisher Atlus chose not to release it until spring 2007 because Persona 3 was such a breakout hit for them that they didn't want to compete with its sales. As a result, Vanillaware's second game, GrimGrimoire, which was instead published by Nippon Ichi, actually came out first. | |

Star Wars Detours, a comedic take on the Star Wars universe, with Seth Green as a showrunner. The full series was completed and a trailer was released in 2013, around when Star Wars: The Clone Wars was finishing its run. Unfortunately, that was about the same time Disney bought Lucasfilm. Reportedly, Disney didn't want younger audiences to be introduced to classic Star Wars characters via goofy parodies before seeing them in the new film trilogy. The series was postponed, though the showrunners of Robot Chicken say the series will be released at some point (and Lucasfilm has at least renewed the trademark as of June 2018). | |

Gravity Rush 2 lost its December 2016 release date because of a domino effect from other PS4 games hitting speedbumps. First, Final Fantasy XV got pushed from September 2016 to the end of November, which was already a week away from Yakuza 6. Finally, Sony's own The Last Guardian had a last minute delay and took GR2's release date, bumping it to January 2017 despite development being complete on schedule. FFXV getting bumped caused Square Enix to push Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 from December to January too. | |

009 RE:Cyborg was announced by Anime Limited for a release in the UK in 2013. The release kept getting delayed, with the English dub having to be completely redone at least once at the request of Production I.G. It finally came out in 2015, and was picked up for US distribution by FUNimation that same year. | |

Anarchy Reigns was suffering majorly from this due to Sega incessantly pushing back the release date due to their financial troubles brought on by their long-standing history of bad marketing decisions, delaying the initial Summer 2012 release all the way back to January 2013. This is not the first time they've done this to PlatinumGames, but this time it's especially noticeable due to the game's heavy emphasis on online multiplayer. Naturally, this doesn't apply to Japan. | |

The North American license for InuYasha: The Final Act was originally announced by Viz Media in mid-2009, around the time the anime began airing in Japan. The English dub was completed by the end of 2010, according to the actors in it. However, it didn't see a home video release until the end of 2012, over three years after its initial announcement. | |

Copyright dates indicate season 5 had most of its episodes completed in 2000, and the final two episodes "April Fool's Day" and "The Journal" (an hour-long special) in 2001. Eight aired in Spring 2000 (not counting the aforementioned "Parents Day"), three in January 2001, five plus "The Journal" in 2002, three in 2003, and the final episode was not aired until June 2004. The commercial failure of the Hey Arnold! The Movie in 2002 may have contributed to this. | |

"The Man Who Came to Be Dinner" was supposed to be the season 24 finale, but it got pulled because the production crew felt the episode's plot would be better used for a sequel to The Simpsons Movie. They later changed their mind and it aired in the middle of season 26. (A similar occurrence happened during production of "Kamp Krusty".) | |

Persona 5's localization was set for February 2017, which is already well after its September 2016 release in Japan. It was delayed one more time to April 2017 with the dev team claiming it was in part in order to record previously unvoiced lines. Eyebrows were raised when reviews started coming out in March, reviewers implied they actually had the game for weeks, and said unvoiced lines were still unvoiced... | |

Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling was meant to come out in 2018 to commemorate the original show's 25th anniversary. Nickelodeon had shown completed footage at San Diego Comic-Con in 2017, and the special itself was completed in early 2018. However, an executive reshuffle at the network, combined with the dismal ratings of another throwback special, Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie, caused the channel to postpone both Static Cling and another special (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus). The airing rights for the Rocko and Zim specials were sold to Netflix in 2019 as part of a larger content deal, and the specials were released in August that year. | |

Baby Blues: The last five episodes of season 1 were held over for two years, not releasing until [adult swim] obtained the rights to rerun the series in 2002. The show has a second season, but The WB claimed it as a tax write-off due to it getting low ratings and mixed-to-negative reviews. As a result, it was never aired and is unlikely to ever see a release. |

Persona 5's localized situation happened again with Yakuza 6, which was planned for March 2018 and then delayed until April. This wasn't a big deal in itself, and a demo came out in February that let everyone enjoy a taste of the game. It then turned out that the demo actually was an accidental upload of the complete game, and the game was just delayed in order to buff the start of Sega's next financial year instead of legitimately not being ready — which is probably what happened to P5 too. Reviews even still came out in March! | |

The last six episodes of Dora the Explorer were completed sometime in 2014, but didn't air in the United States until 2019, due to the show's waning popularity and the rise of PAW Patrol's own popularity. This is made more awkward thanks to some of these episodes being intended as the set up to the spin-off show Dora and Friends: Into the City!... with that show having ended its own run in 2017. Hell, it even managed to release after the character's live-action film. Season 2 was intended to premiere in Fall 2001, given by the copyright date in the credits, but due to the September 11 terrorist attacks, Season 2 didn't debut until Spring 2002. |

A remake of the first two Advance Wars games, Advance Wars 1 + 2 Re-Boot Camp, was announced in 2021 for a December release. It was later pushed back to April 2022 for extra development time, before the completed game was shelved due to the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war a month prior. A few players who pre-loaded the game had their copies accidentally unlocked in April, however, giving them temporary access to the full game. The game released in April 2023, one year after its (second) planned release. | |

The 2019 animated film Wonder Park was intended to serve as the Pilot Movie for a Nickelodeon animated series that would air later that same year. However, the film's poor box office performance meant that the only footage that will ever see the light of day is this camrip of a teaser promo for the series. Director Dylan Brown being fired over inappropriate conduct has also likely contributed to the series not being aired. | |

It was eventually released in early 2013, a few months after the release of the much better received Double Dragon Neon, becoming the most critically panned digital only release on the 360. | |

Castle in the Sky was originally dubbed and prepared for a home video release in the US in 1998, and trailers for it appeared on various Disney VHS tapes. However, because of the surprise success of Kiki's Delivery Service on video, Disney decided to rethink their plan for the film. They planned on releasing it in theaters first, and they re-recorded the film's musical score with the original composer. However, after the disappointment of Princess Mononoke's theatrical release, Disney once again decided to rethink how to release Castle in the Sky, and put it on hold again. The film sat on the shelf until 2003 when it was finally released by Disney on video and DVD after only being screened at a few children's festivals. | |

After the release of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou in Japan, CAVE developed an international version of the game titled DoDonPachi III, which featured some of its gameplay and balance changes that would later be implemented into its Black Label release. This version, while completed and hinted by Cave in the past, never saw the light of day outside of Japan officially for years and remained that way since, outside of a leaked ROM of the game in 2017 confirming its existence. It wasn't until 2023 when M2 included DoDonPachi III as part of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Re:incarnation alongside its original version and Black Label. | |

ChalkZone: The first season was completed in 1999 and was set for a Fall 2000 premiere date (all of season one's episodes have a copyright notice of 2000). Besides the first episode premiering as a sneak peek on December 31, 1999, Nickelodeon held it off until 2002. The fourth (and final) season stopped premiering in June 2005 with six episodes left. It wasn't until June 2008 that Nick decided to burn-off the remaining episodes at six in the morning on Saturdays without any advertisement. This only applies to the US airings — the remaining six season four episodes aired with the rest of the season overseas. |

Chip's Challenge 2 was completed way back in 1999. However, because Epyx, the studio that developed the original game, had been sold prior to the sequel's completion, it couldn't be released due to copyright entanglements. For nearly two decades, the only visible proof of the game's existence was a single low-quality gameplay video and a still image of the game in the background of a magazine photo. It wasn't until 2015, sixteen years later, that the issues were finally resolved and Chip's Challenge 2 was released to the world, alongside a remake of the first game in the CC2 engine, at long last. | |

Fire Emblem Engage was intended to be a Milestone Celebration for the Fire Emblem series, releasing in 2020 for the 30th anniversary. Schedule Slip meant that the game ultimately didn't come out until January 2023, but it had already been classified by the German and Australian game rating boards in mid-2021, meaning if it was ready to ship by year's end. The game was likely shelved for over a year to avoid releasing two Fire Emblem titles in the same year, as it would have overshadowed 2022's Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes as well as clashed with Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which was also an example of this trope. | |

Similarly, the Disney preschoolers show Out of the Box wrapped up filming in May of 2001, but didn’t even begin airing until November of the following year, with the final episodes being aired in September of 2004. Before that, there were three episodes from the first season (“Treasures�, “The Gift� and “Let’s Eat Out�) which didn’t premiere until season 2 began broadcasting. These episodes only ended up airing a handful of times, since they had already been reworked into episodes for season 2; they are currently the only ones of the show that are not available on Disney+. |

The Funimation dub for the Punk Hazard and Dressrosa arcs of One Piece suffered from languishment in different ways. Interviews conducted in 2017 showed evidence they were working on Punk Hazard (Luci Christian mentioned body swapping), the credits for Punk Hazard episodes list Joel McDonald as director (he stepped down in 2018) and Kellen Goff mentioned on Twitter that he recorded lines for Blue Gilly the same time he first recorded lines for Overhaul in My Hero Academia (in 2018). Punk Hazard and Dressrosa dubs didn't come out until 2020. Though evidence also exists that Dressrosa was only partly done, most evident in Johnny Yong Bosch taking over as Sabo following Vic Mignogna's termination. This may have also been the case for the TV Specials 3D2Y and Episode of Sabo (both seeing release in 2019). The former featured Grant James as Zeff (he retired from voice acting in 2018) and the latter featured Ed Blaylock as Sengoku (he passed away in 2017). |

Futurama Although the entirely of season 3 was produced in 2001 (except "A Leela of Her Own" which was produced in 2002), the later half of the season didn't air until 2002 (all of them bare a 2001 copyright) possibly due to the September 11th attacks. Season 4 wrapped up production in 2002 but a majority of the season didn't air until 2003. |

Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty were adapted into comic books and those comic book adaptations would see Digital Graphic Novel film adaptations in 2008 which would be exclusive to Japan for five years. English dubs for the movies were recorded back in 2008 but they wouldn't see the light of day until 2013 as part of Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection. | |

Diana Ross recorded an album titled Diana Ross Sings Songs From The Wiz, after landing the role of Dorothy in the 1978 movie version of the musical. Motown originally intended to release the album about a year after the movie's premiere, but decided against it after the film flopped. It finally saw a digital release in November 2015, exactly one week before NBC televised a new adaptation of The Wiz (which Diana Ross didn't participate in, for the record). | |

All of the Season 2 episodes of The Fairly OddParents! were produced in 2001 and were planned to start airing in the United States that autumn, but the September 11th terrorist attacks caused them to be delayed well until early spring of 2002 (though in Australia, they aired in the original timeframe as planned). This also led to Seasons 3 and 4, and the TV movies Abra-Catastrophe! (produced in 2002) and Channel Chasers (produced in 2003) to air a whole year after being produced in its own country! The Crash Nebula pilot, while produced in 2002, was never publicly released (let alone as a Fairly OddParents episode) until 2004. In 2002, Nelvana dubbed the first 14 episodes in Dutch, but it went unreleased for a year due to the Disney Channel not existing in the Netherlands, and the NPO (and its member broadcasters), the Dutch branches of RTL and SBS, and Fox Netherlands showing no interest in airing OddParents. The dub finally aired on September 29, 2003 on the Dutch version of Nickelodeon. |

Fear Factory completed what was meant to be their first album in 1991, and its release was meant to launch a record label founded by its Record Producer, Ross Robinson — the band didn't like the details of their record contract and wouldn't sign it, so the album was shelved. Robinson kept the commercial rights to the recording, but the band were still allowed to send it out to prospective labels as a demo tape, which got them signed by Roadrunner Records, for whom they re-recorded eight of its songs for their proper debut, Soul Of A New Machine. Eleven years later, the recordings came out on Roadrunner, unsanctioned by the band, and given the new title Concrete — according to Burton C. Bell, Robinson had sold the album rights to Roadrunner, who in turn released it when the band broke up one album short of their contractual obligation with the label. | |

The third Rebuild of Evangelion movie was screened in some theaters by Funimation in 2013, and was slated to be released to DVD/Blu-ray in February 2014, with pre-orders going up. However, the release was indefinitely put on hold, with widely varying explanations (from the booking of more screenings, to Studio Khara wanting more involvement), and the English voice actors discussed coming back to re-record some of their lines. There were even rumors of the film being snatched from Funimation and given to someone else with a completely new dub. The film came out on Blu-ray in February 2016 from Funimation, two years after its original release date, with an entirely redone English dub and two different subtitle translations. It was later revealed that a representative from Khara had attended the dub's premiere at Otakon, and was horrified at the audience's amused reaction to the film, and blamed it on the localization. Funimation tried explaining to them that anime convention crowds are usually very energetic, but Khara still forced them to redo the localization from scratch. This may have played a part in Funimation eventually losing the license to the franchise, and new dub with a new script and cast being commissioned for both the original Evangelion series on Netflix, and the Rebuild series on Amazon Prime Video. The original Funimation dub would eventually be leaked online. | |

The 1-2-Switch sequel Everybody 1-2-Switch was completed and ready for an early 2022 release but it play-tested so poorly with the casual audiences it was aimed at that Nintendo had no idea what to do with the game and debated cancelling its release altogether. Eventually, they settled for unceremoniously dumping the game onto shelves over a year later in June 2023 with almost zero promotion and without sending critics review copies (something which has never been done before for a first-party Nintendo title). | |

There have been two versions of Match Game that were picked up but not aired: In 2004, Fox ordered What the Blank!, which was more faithful to the 1970s version but added a "interview on the street" segments, therefore making it Match Game meets Street Smarts. It was scrapped not long thereafter, and it's unknown how many episodes were actually made. Another revival was announced by TBS in 2008, but beyond being mentioning in subsequent press conferences, nothing has been heard of that series ever since. Match Game was finally revived for ABC in 2016. |

In 2000, Bowie recorded Toy, a collection of re-recorded tracks from early in his career (mostly the non-album singles put out before his first album) plus a few new songs. However, when he submitted the album to Virgin Records with the intent of releasing it in 2001, they put it on hold due to his planned surprise release being infeasible at the time before rejecting it outright due to it being seen as too uncommercial in the wake of various financial hardships the label was experiencing. It was eventually completed after Bowie's death and released in 2021. | |

Meat Puppets had a few. When Curt Kirkwood announced a solo record in 2004, there were a few tracks listed in a Rolling Stone article. Of the three, only "Golden Lies" ended up being on the album. Of the others, "Enemy Love Song" was recorded and released on Kirkwood's website as a single, but was rerecorded by the reunited Meat Puppets in 2007. The other two songs, "I'm Not You" and "Nursery Rhyme", wouldn't get released until 2009. "Golden Lies" itself is an example, as it was originally the Title Track to the 2000 era group's debut. | |

Rodea the Sky Soldier was completed by developer Prope for the Wii in 2011, but publisher Kadokawa Games did not release it for over four years in order to create a Nintendo 3DS tie-in, which promptly entered Development Hell. When it finally finished development in 2015, the Wii U had long since superseded the Wii, leading Kadokawa to port the 3DS version to the Wii U, and leave Prope's original version only as a bonus feature for first-run copies. | |

Little-known New Zealand series The Adventures of Voopa the Goolash completed production in 2007 according to creator Craig Whyte, though internal studio politics prevented the series from seeing the light of day for over a decade; the studio held the master tapes and refused to let them go. The show was considered lost media until October 2019 when Whyte uploaded the first episode to YouTube; the second episode was uploaded in November 2019, and the remaining eleven followed suit in April 2021. | |

The Wolf is an especially odd case even by the Chinese censors' standards. The series was filmed in 2017, but the censors refused to pass it. It was shelved for three years before they finally agreed to let it air. After all that, many viewers watched it mainly out of curiosity to see what the censors found so objectionable... and were bewildered to discover it contained nothing that could possibly have offended even the most hypercritical censor. It remains a mystery why this show was delayed for so long. | |

My Life as a Teenage Robot: The copyright dates indicate the entire first season was made in 2002, and the first season also started airing in late 2002 and early 2003 in regions like the United Kingdom, Australia, and Latin America. Despite this, the series didn't debut in its home country until August 1, 2003. The third season was produced between 2005 and 2006, but didn't air in the United States until three years later (from 2008 to 2009). Although, similarly to the first season, it aired in some countries between 2006 and 2007. |

Crunchyroll original series High Guardian Spice was supposed to be released in late 2019 (with production having wrapped up earlier that year); however, behind-the-scenes issues and internal politics at Crunchyroll led to it being delayed until it was quietly released on October 26th, 2021. | |

Low was completed in time for its planned release date of November 1976 but was put on hold by RCA Records thanks to its bleak, experimental sound. Not only were the label baffled by it, seeing it as unsuitable for the Christmas season and unsuccessfully pushing Bowie to record another Young Americans instead, but ex-manager and partial rightsholder Tony Defries also attempted to block the record's release. It ultimately hit store shelves on January 14, 1977. | |

The Funimation dub for the Buu saga of Dragon Ball Z Kai began recording in 2013, with plans to release it in 2014 alongside the Japanese airing. Come 2014, however, and there were no signs of the dub's release. Even the dub's cast was confused, stating that they had already recorded all their lines. The dub wouldn't see a release for a few more years, eventually premiering on Toonami at the start of 2017. Many have speculated as a result that Toei Animation was simply withholding the dub's release until the previous three arcs finished airing on Toonami. It's especially confusing though, since it was being put together specifically for overseas broadcasts (it only aired in Japan because of the unexpected cancellation of Toriko opening a timeslot), since the first four arcs did better outside of Japan than in, Sean Schemmel and Kyle Hebert announced they'd started recording the dub in 2014, and seeing as how the Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’ movies came out in the meantime, you'd assume that they'd air, or release it on home media, to tie in, but nope. | |

Putty Squad was to have been released in 1994 first for the Amiga 1200, with versions for the SNES and other platforms to follow. The SNES version was the only one released (not counting playable demos), despite nine magazines giving the apparently finished Amiga 1200 version favorable reviews. After nearly two decades of rumors, System 3 finally released the Amiga version at the end of 2013. | |

Mother: The English localization of the first game, titled Earth Bound (a title Nintendo later reused for Mother 2), had a finished translation and marketing strategy, with a planned Fall 1991 release. The game never came out due to a variety of factors, namely the impending release of the Super NES. The localized prototype ROM would make its way online years later under the fan name EarthBound Zero, with Nintendo officially releasing the game as EarthBound Beginnings in 2015 through their Virtual Console service. | |

Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the 3D Sam & Max game from LucasArts, was planned for a 2004 release. The game was estimated to be two-thirds to three-fourths finished and it was even rated by the ESRB, but LucasArts chose to cancel it because they didn't think the interest was large enough, and they fired a great majority of their "creative division" as a result. | |

Can's Delay 1968 is so-called because it was recorded in 1968 and would have been their debut (going by the title Welcome to Thy Pnoom) had it not been for the fact that no label had been willing to release it. Parts of it ended up on bootlegs, but it wasn't released in its entirety until 1981. | |

Hey Arnold! "Parents Day", a season 3 episode that aired in the UK in late 1998, didn't end up airing in the US until May 2000, as part of season 5. Season 1 had 26 episodes produced for it, but only 20 were actually used. Out of the remaining six episodes, five aired at the end of season 2, and one aired in late season 3. This created some continuity errors, since Arnold's teacher Miss Slovak was Put on a Bus and replaced at the beginning of season 2, meaning Slovak was still appearing after Mr. Simmons stepped in. Copyright dates indicate season 5 had most of its episodes completed in 2000, and the final two episodes "April Fool's Day" and "The Journal" (an hour-long special) in 2001. Eight aired in Spring 2000 (not counting the aforementioned "Parents Day"), three in January 2001, five plus "The Journal" in 2002, three in 2003, and the final episode was not aired until June 2004. The commercial failure of the Hey Arnold! The Movie in 2002 may have contributed to this. |

Us & Them was an American remake of Gavin & Stacey to be aired on Fox in 2013/2014. It originally was supposed to have 13 episodes before getting cut to 7 episodes. Fox decided to not air it at all, and it wouldn't be until 2018 when Crackle added the series that the show would even be seen in the US. | |

The Blackish episode "Please, Baby, Please" was filmed in November 2017 and ultimately shelved by ABC. The episode, which condemned Donald Trump's attacks on critics of racism and police brutality in the wake of the NFL "kneeling" controversy, was shelved for allegedly being too "politically charged." However, critics of the shelving, including Blackish showrunner Kenya Barris, felt that ABC was becoming too sympathetic to Republicans and less sympathetic towards Democrats (the network had allowed Roseanne Barr to write her Republican affiliation into the Roseanne revival), and such indignation led to Barris leaving the show at the end of the season. Ultimately, Hulu streamed the episode in August 2020, in which by that point anti-racism protests had become widespread in the wake of several high-profile murders of black people by cops. | |

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2023): The first season, despite airing in early 2023, in its entirety was produced in 2022 according to the end credits of every episode. Content leaks were happening as early as December 2021, so the show was gathering dust for quite some time before being released to the public. |

Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space was originally intended for a 2019 release on VRV that never happened, most likely because Sony bought Crunchyroll, which owns VRV; this resulted in Cartoon Hangover series leaving VRV. Eventually, Netflix picked it up, produced an additional three episodes for viewers who never watched the original, and released it in September 2022. | |
