After the found 1999 pilot for Super Why was produced, another pilot was developed by another studio titled Curious Pictures. When production of the pilot was complete, the series was greenlit for its first season to air on PBS in 2006. At 6:24, this video provides more insight on the 2006 pilot - youtu.be/PjpjruZScJ8 (I will elaborate on more details below) - The name of the show was originally titled “Super Readers to the Rescue” according to this article - current.org/2006/05/spirits-rise-as-pbs-acts-science-kids-on-demand/ - The pilot was created by a studio called “Curious Pictures”
Not much else is known since info on the 2006 pilot is scarce. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!
I found evidence that the pilot does indeed exist www.sallemander.com/testimonials.htm - A portfolio with the Curious Pictures section listing the pitch pilot (he was hired by them in 2002 so it wouldn't make sense for it to be the first pilot) player.slideplayer.com/25/7708503/# - Slideshow with an early model for Whyatt (at slide 22)
