from 2009 to 2011 the site rotten tomatoes had its on show airing on current TV and was being hosted by Ellen fox and Brett Erlich. the show itself was a blend of movie reviews with segments like sketch comedy or top 5 lists. more background on the show is described by TV tropes here rotten tomatoes according to tv trope. the show had a total of 2 seasons. season 1 had a total of 39 episodes while season 2 had a total of 33 episodes or 36 if you count the unknown episodes according to IMDb www.imdb.com/title/tt1400986/episodes?season=1. the show itself after that went silent around September 2010 before being canned in 2011 and only a chunk of clips have surfaced since on youtube youtube playlist of the clips. there was also a twiitter account for the show around early 2009 but all the links to the episodes are dead. any more information on this show would be great. thanks

also i found that the episodes (most likely all of them) were privated on youtube. this was only told in a few comments in the clips of the youtube playlist until a i cam across a site called fanpop and a person named clonedpickle added some of the videos on here along with others. its not much buts its conformation nontheless.

sure was from the looks of it. really sucks that this is now partially lost. a lot of sites showed this show and its newest episodes at the time outside of television and on current TV's website yet no such download link to the episodes. from the looks of it no home media release either.

the more i dig deeper, the less info there is. some sites are saying the show was apparently available on hulu at one point but i start to doubt that when sites started saying its also available on Disney plus and paramount plus lol. only other thing i managed to find is this thumbnail of one of the episodes off of the site called NWAnime in shit quality. the thing wouldnt play of course so another dead end again

also forgot to post this image today which was basically a teaser image for one of the episodes around January of 2010.

other than that, thats quite literally it. all i can really hope now is for someone who backed up the show before it was privated. backups and home recordings of the show are possible and from what ive seen are vast too before all of them went dead, this show did had a pretty dedicated community (i mean the community made brett dress up as a tomato in the street so theres that) despite the shows mixed reception and the show's decisions to have professional critics replace fans and independent filmakers for season 2 but time will tell really.

Hey! This has really peaked my interest! Just from a brief search I found the show listed on the TV database! (I don't know if has all episodes logged, I think it might be missing a few) The TV DB does show a lot of episode descriptions! www.thetvdb.com/series/the-rotten-tomatoes-show/allseasons/official

I am definitely gonna keep looking! It seems like a very fun show and with such a dedicated community, there must be something out there!!

yeah i already checked the wayback machine and that tvdb listings is missing 3 more episodes though other sites say they are labelled as unknown so its any guess. the community had about close to 500 people around 2011.

I got in contact with one of the shows writers, Alonso Durdale! I asked him if he knew of any archives of the show or if he had any! Sadly, he doesn't have any copies of the show!
He said that he would like to see the show again, if we find it! The only lead I can think of is Joey McAdams, possibly. IMBD says he directed one episode, he might have an archive!

yeah i looked into the imdb but never saw reason of contacting the crew itself. we can always contact ellen and brett themselves or maybe rotten tomatoes but i doubt RT would speak about it due its very lack of acknowledgement after its cancellation. i appreciate your contribution though. a lot of people do want to see this show back again.
