September 11, 2001

On the evening of September 11, 2001, the cast scrambled together and made an impromptu broadcast to help reassure and comfort those who were struck by the tragedy. Many recall some very touching and heartwarming moments, and some viewers were surprised to be brought to tears by a show that is so based in silliness and humor.

Episode loss

For whatever reason, the episode was not made available for download afterwards. Despite it getting some of the best reception from online communities than almost any other episode, the creators did not feel the need to preserve it.

Video capture software was in its infancy in 2001, and what was available was extremely expensive. However, that doesn't mean that it's not impossible for a viewer to have captured it.

The full episode has not resurfaced since its broadcasting, and it is suspected that not even the creators have it in their possession anymore. Many fans are left saddened, as this is often considered one of the best moments of the show.

Partial recovery

On April 1st 2017, User "Internet Archive - Stream Division" on YouTube uploaded 8 minutes of footage of the special. It includes the intro and credits of the special.
