Potential New Info with More Found Dubs

Funny story.

I started to dive into the "Mr Men" community, so I randomly browsed the "Mr Men and Little Miss" Wikia at midnight. What caught my attention was a "North American" dub for this show, which I was unaware of. Coincidentally, I was on YouTube, browsing for more "Mr Men" content, and when I scrolled further down, I saw a mysterious video only titled "The Mr Men Show #6" with an unrelated thumbnail. Curiously, I clicked on it, and it was the very corrupted recording of the North American dub of that show (with commercials). It also contained dubbed episodes which are not on the list. In this video, it was "Mr Worry and the Giant" and "Little Miss Late Finally Catches Up" (there was also "Mr Small's Big Dream"). Since it also includes commercials, it is revealed that this was aired in "Warner Bros (WB) Channel 32 KWBP", not on "YTV, CBC and TVOntario, and the US version aired as a standalone program on It's Itsy Bitsy Time" as mentioned in the Wikia.

What's stranger is that this mysterious user "John" posted the first video of the dub six months ago of typing this. Then he posted 2-4 a week ago, and the rest (5-10) 2 days later. I saved all the videos just in case they get taken down, as the nine new videos are relatively new (even though the quality of all these videos is terrible). Here is John's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAUQpvg85ZbXv_icA9rEunQ/videos

Remember, the Wikia may not be a reliable source. I am here because I was looking for the dub when I learned about its existence in the Wikia. The Wikia states that there are 10 "known" episodes, so I am unsure about the other 30 and where that source even came from as it is not cited. The Wikia did not mention the "live-action" additions and had no citings either. Furthermore, Wikipedia (this article's only source) states that there are 11 "known episodes", excluding the Christmas special.

(Unrelated to what I found, what did I think of the dub... it's weird, in my opinion, and quite surprising that despite the original and the dub two years apart, the USA dub has more content than the original, evidently with the new info I found.)

EDIT (1/5/22): I skimmed through the videos. They are not resurfaced episodes. Even though they start with the opening and end with the credits, they are potentially spliced as they are recorded in VHS tapes:

  1. #2 is an exception in which the opening is not present, and there are only two dubbed episodes.
  2. "Mr Small's Big Dream" appears in #6, but the video is not entirely the episode "Carnival".
  3. "Little Miss Bossy Has A Busy Day" appears in #2 and #7.
  4. The episodes are in themes, but the videos lack them. (cont. "Update in 2/5/22")

Here are the dubs found in each video (all in terrible and 480p quality):

  1. "A Special Friend For Little Miss Lucky", "Happy Birthday Little Miss Scatterbrain", "Little Miss Dotty Goes to Home Farm"
  2. "Little Miss Bossy Has A Busy Day", "Mr Cheerful Doffs His Hat"
  3. "Little Miss Trouble and the magic paint", "Little Miss Naughty Goes Skiing", "Little Miss Star, The Leading Witness"
  4. "Mr Mischief Becomes an Artist", "Little Miss Busy takes a break", "Hurry Mr Rush...autumn is coming!"
  5. "Mr Nosey Solves a Mystery", "Isn't Little Miss Trouble Kind...", "Mr Chatterbox Loses His Voice"
  6. "Mr Worry and the Giant", "Mr Small's Big Dream", "Little Miss Late Finally Catches Up"
  7. "Mr Grumble Boils Over", "Little Miss Bossy Has A Busy Day", "No food is no fun for Mr Greedy"
  8. "An Invitation for Mr Messy", "A New House for Mr Wrong", "Little Miss Neat Sees Spots"
  9. "Mr Skinny's Incredible Bet", "Little Miss Wise's Crazy Day!", "Little Miss Late Beats Them All!"
  10. "Little Miss Scatterbrain Puts Everything in Turmoil", "That's Enough Little Miss Bossy", "Little Miss Star Goes to Jollywood"

EDIT (2/5/22): As I said, I skimmed through the videos to list which dub is there in each video. I checked the comment (Comicfan2's) below me, and it turns out that there might be a resurfaced episode or more in these recordings. It matches their description of the "Grumpy" themed episode (#7), "Clean Up" themed episode (#8), and "Racing" themed episode (#9), which is called "Winners and Losers" according to the Wikipedia. "Back to School" themed episode is potentially #2 as only the beginning is cut ("Little Miss Busy - DIY Teacher), but the other two episodes are present. According to Ryan, the replier who found it a day before me, he said that "six-and-a-half of them have recently resurfaced (along with four others)", and I assume he is talking about John's uploads.
