In late June 2009, an advance copy of The Cleveland Show 'Pilot' leaked online before the airing in 2009. Some say it was leaked on purpose by Fox to get reception for the show before it airs, it's also believed to have been accidentally leaked, but it's true origins are unknown. The pilot was available for anyone to easily download back when it was originally leaked, but it eventually became deleted from the internet entirely, due to download links being deleted, the download sites shutting down, and possibly the original downloads for the leaked pilot being replaced with the aired pilot. A NoHomers forum post suggests that the leaked pilot was lost by July 2015. The differences between the aired version and leaked version can be found here. Some of the original scenes were on the DVD version of the episode, but many were not. The theme song from the leaked pilot is available here, and the original theme song version is available for purchase on iTunes. I've searched for the leaked pilot all over the internet and archived sites for over 2 years, with no luck, so likely the only way this is going to be found is for someone who downloaded this to release it online. I would love for some interest to be sparked in the subject, so please share this with Family Guy fans and lost media hunters.
