Trivia / The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The show has never been released on home video or in syndication; your only chance of finding episodes is on YouTube. Luckily, all four aired episodes have been posted.
• Missing Episode: The pilot episode wound up never airing, and was instead replaced by a different one due to the controversy. Four other episodes also wound up never airing.
• Screwed by the Network: Can you really blame UPN, though? Amidst numerous protests from African-American activist groups, the network wound up pulling the show's pilot (which allegedly contained some particularly tasteless jokes) and instead replaced it with what was intended to be its second episode. This did nothing to help the show, as it debuted to pitifully low ratings, and it was ultimately cancelled after four episodes.
• What Could Have Been: Trio (later known as Sleuth and Cloo) came close to re-airing the show as part of its "Flops" block, but they wound up backing out at the last minute because the show's themes were too much even for them.
