Stuff like this being lost is wild to me

“Me and My Friends is a live-action pilot episode taped at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was written and produced by Janice Burgess, and it was taped from September to November 1998. The pilot was declined by Nickelodeon,[1]but in 2002, Burgess reworked the concept into an animated pilot featuring the same characters. This second pilot was successful and became the CGI-animated series, The Backyardigans.[2]

A clip of Me and My Friends was released in a 5-minute compilation video created by former crew members of Nickelodeon Studios for its 10-year anniversary in 2000. There are around 3 seconds of video without the original audio. At least eight photos from the production were released by the pilot’s costume designers.

On February 21st, 2022, YouTuber "BerLostMedia" found 9 more photos from the production of the pilot given by the character designer.”

I had no idea a black woman created this show. I used to watch it with my nephew/nieces back in the day. RIP to her
