Rugrats unaired episode.

The first episode of Rugrats I was introduced to was The Slide/The Big Flush. The first episode ever to be aired was Tommy's First Birthday, in 1991. However, that was not the first episode ever made. The first episode ever made was never aired, the name of the episode is Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing. This episode has to do with a toilet. This episode reminds me of what the 90's were about for me. It was about being young, not worried about anything, feeling this nest of love, just a simpler time for me. This episode looked nothing like the other episodes. For one, all of the drawing of the characters seems a bit rougher, a bit less proportional compared to the aired episodes. Another thing is that Tommy is wearing an orange shirt. In the aired episodes, Tommy wears a blue shirt. I liked the music from the mobile hanging from Tommy's crib. So simple, and yet, peaceful in some ways. I never knew this episode existed until a few years ago. When I found it, it was like nostalgia of no kind ever felt before. It was "re-discovering" the old, but rather, finding something familiar, but never had been there before, until now. This episode was made in 1990, but never aired. I felt like someone was being hidden by not airing, something being kept away.
The last bit of the episode, well, I saw it on a Nickelodeon Promo, but I never knew it came this episode. Something never seen before.
