I submitted an inter-library loan request for this video (VHS format) at my local public library. Unfortunately, a few days later, I got this e-mail: "No library in the United States currently has this item available to loan so an interlibrary loan request cannot be submitted at this time."
That's not good. DARE probably stopped using the film in their presentations due to ever-evolving education standards (such as the "gateway drug" model that has since been dismissed by many). Our only hope is that Bruce Royer publicly shares this somehow.
A script for a Ren & Stimpy stage show (using puppets) as well as a script for a studio tour hosted by Ren & Stimpy were written for use at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida, but both were ultimately rejected.
Apparently, they pulled the plug after the first drafts were written.

I think I've read that the uncensored version was confirmed to be nonexistent, though I may be confusing it with the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Rude Removal" which was also confirmed to have no uncensored version.
This was a revival of the classic animated series that was aired in 1988 and headed by, believe it or not, John Kricfalusi. Only 8 episodes were produced, and only 5 actually aired. ABC and the Clampett family weren't happy with John K.'s attempts to make the humor shocking and offensive and it was cancelled.
...or so they say anyway. I've watched the episodes I could, and it seems more cutesy than disgusting, though there are some Spumco-esque elements to it, like a few gross-up close ups and depictions of runny noses.
Anyway, I've found the segments "The Brotherhood of B.L.E.C.H.," "The Bad Guy Flu!," "D.J.'s Disappearing Act," "The Golden Menu," and "The Courtship of Cecilia" on YouTube. Missing, however, are "The Framed Freep" (some sources spell it "Threep"), "Radio with a Bite!," and "Cecil Meets Clambo." This blog entry claims "Cecil Meets Clambo," "The Courtship of Cecilia," and "The Golden Menu" are the unaired episodes, but two of those are somehow on YouTube. There don't really seem to be any concrete details on this show in general.
Any thoughts?

The Disk Writer obviously has some kind of BIOS, which hasn't been dumped, but the only one of these I'm aware of that still exists is sitting in a storage compartment at Nintendo's Japanese headquarters.
I was actually in contact with the guys that made the cartoon. Royer Studios. Me and Bruce Royer exchanged a few emails back in 2013, and he said he was planning to upload a copy to Dropbox, but he apparently never got around to it. It's apparently part of a larger video called "The D.A.R.E. Report."
I'm happy to announce that I have obtained and ripped a Pokémon PC Master CD-ROM!
Unfortunately, I was disappointed to discover that it's merely a trial version. It looks like only the trial version was released via physical disc, while the full version was downloaded. Given the rarity, I also suspect it was mainly distributed through public schools rather than a general retail release.
I'd kind of like to start a search effort for these, as well as other Japan-only specials/clip shows. At pockermonsters.net, there's a ton of specials that seem to be lost forever. I'm just not sure how to go about it, since I'm not in Japan. Any help is appreciated.
However, there's one last book that was canceled: the final book in the Give Yourself Goosebumps series. Almost nothing is known about it, not even the title. All we know is that Craig White illustrated the cover, and this illustration has been made public. It depicts three mean-looking penguins on a mountainous, icy landscape, so the book's plot probably has something to do with the Antarctic. This can all be seen here.
So, is this worthy of an article, given the lack of written information? All we really have to go on is a picture.
Note: There is one more canceled Goosebumps book, Goosebumps Presents #19: The Blob That Ate Everyone, but that had nothing to do with the fallout, being cancelled in 1998 for unknown reasons. (This may be another potential candidate for an article, and it's already listed on the article requests page.)
