Status: Partially Lost

Kevin Spencer was a Canadian animated series that was created by comedian Greg Lawrence and aired on The Comedy Network (now CTV Comedy Channel) for a total of eight seasons and 112 episodes between 1998 and 2005. It remains The Comedy Channel's longest running animated program and Canada's longest lived animated series that wasn't co-produced outside of the nation.

While all 112 episodes are archived as of 2022, there remains more media related to the series that has been lost to time, owing to the series' obscurity.

Mondo Media Shorts

Status: Found

In December 2022, YouTuber 12ozApologizer would recover all 12 of the original shorts from the original SWF files, which can be viewed on Internet Archive. At the same time, all 12 original files were converted to MP4 files for upload to YouTube, all of which can be viewed below.[1]

Exclusive DVD Content

Status: Partially Found

2001 saw the release of Straitening Things Out, the series' sole home media release. The DVD version in particular features exclusive extras, such as audio commentary for the episodes (those being "Good Will Spencer," "The Tomb" and "Dreamland"), a music video, and an early version of the Burly Bear short "Birthday."

While the music video and short have been archived, the commentary videos were taken down by AuxiliaryMode Affiliates, along with a number of other videos related to Kevin Spencer.

Missing Season 1 Episodes

Status: Lost

A report filed by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council in August 1999 reveals an entirely missing episode of the first season, rumored to be "Fire Starter,"[2] which is listed on the Spanish Wikipedia article of the series. There's a chance this may refer to either "Keep the Home Fires Burning" or "The New Mr. Franklin," the only banned episode of the series.

Additionally, a post on the No Homers Club reveals an IMDb review of the series, revealing more missing first season episodes.

"The first year is missing many episodes such as "Magic Roy" and the one where Kevin got a job at a vet clinic, and he killed the kittens by running them over with a stolen car so he could sell the drugs to addicts. There are also others that are missing, including the pilot cartoon."[3]

Missing Episodes of Spanish Dub

During the series original run, LUK Internacional S.A. acquired the license to dub the series for Spanish audiences. This dub aired on the channel Cuatro. While all 112 episodes were on YouTube at some point, the majority of episodes were taken down by AuxiliaryMode Affiliates. Eleven episodes still remain available.
