I'm not sure exactly- it's a dude who is offering them on DVD for about $35 apiece. You can contact him through the website I posted earlier. I'm not necessarily endorsing this- I just wanted to put the info out there for anyone who might be interested.

Right. :-\

You might get in trouble for posting them on the web but not if you just download them.

:) Have you watched them yet?

SDLagent

No, I haven't. I started downloading one right away but than my computer crashed. I started downloading one today, though.

Depending on how fast your connection speed is- the best method usually seems to be to get one or two going, close all other running programs, and then let it run overnight, so it will seem instantaneous when you wake up. ;)

I don't think watching them will get your in trouble. They come from someone (actually a HER....oops) on a different forum. I have watched them and they seem to work just fine. Go ahead and enjoy!

I don't find that they take as long as Mac mentioned but I guess it could depending on your service. I was fortunate enough that it didn't take me long. :)
I'm not on here as much or I just come on for a few moments. So I trying to keep up with posts. Sorry for being MIA. I've been off on a mission with Frank and Joe! :)

I download the first two. You can also watch them on KMPlayer (a media player I highly recommend, by the way) and Opera. So you might be able to simply watch them on other web browsers, too.

Good to know Spencer. :) THanks!

For some reason I can't get the first episode to work in any player but the second and third work in the players I mentioned.

But for these 2 pilots, I don't know who would even own the rights for those- I think ABC aired the Tom Swift/Linda Craig pilot, so I guess that would be Disney as well. But I'm thinking the Chinese Junk pilot aired on NBC, so that would probably make it Universal's copyright. And if that were the case, it would be a great extra for them to release on a 3rd. Season DVD of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries :)
   

Well, neither of your guesses about who owns the pilots are correct, since while ABC did air the Tom Swift/Linda Craig Mystery Hour pilot, it was actually produced by Paramount Television, and due to the 2006 Viacom split (as far as I know), is held by CBS who acquired the majority of the Paramount Television properties (including the Star Trek TV series and the major-portion of the copyright). 

And the same goes for The Mystery of The Chinese Junk that aired on NBC in 1960, but it was produced by 20th Century Fox Television (20th Century Fox also held the Tom Swift rights for a movie in the mid-sixties that was ultimately cancelled). 

But for both pilots, it might be an idea to ask CBS and FOX to maybe make them available through some MOD program, such as Amazon's (I don't think CBS or Fox has their own MOD programs, but I could be wrong), or even available for people to download on iTunes or the Playstation store (and not just for rent, but to actually own).

I would be interested in buying both through a MOD program if CBS and FOX were willing to do so. Thanks for the clarification on the copyright ownerships- those things are tricky to track sometimes.

Oh hmm... I have seen LKOS on Youtube so I didn't download it to watch it again via that site. I'm not sure why that is....Hmm... ;(

All of them worked fine for me.

Yeah, I've seen the episode on YouTube, too, so it's not really a big deal.

Especially when you are talking about the Hardy Boys Animated series.
