Unaired Episode


I understand there is/was an unaired episode of NOTHING SACRED called "Priest With AIDS, Film At 11." I heard that the episode was shown at a couple of television festivals. Has anyone seen it? I would hope that when NOTHING SACRED is finally on DVD that the episode would be included

Years ago I called the production company to see if there would be a DVD release or syndication and they said no. Still hope that will change one day.

That episode is called 'HIV Priest'. The ending is absolutely beautiful. Don't remember many other specifics from it though.

I have them all on vhs tape, from someone online years ago. I haven't had a vcr the last few of those years though so, once again, it's been a long time since I've seen any of them. The person offering dvr's in the other thread has the unaired episodes. I imagine he got them originally on vhs from the same person I did, based on his comments about the quality.

Can't believe no one tech savvy has uploaded them anywhere online in all these years though. It's odd.

There are actually 4 or 5 episodes of this show that never aired. "HIV Priest" was supposed to be the 2nd episode of the series but was never scheduled by ABC who, despite promises that the show would be given a full season, and despite lame attempts to cash in on the controversy surrounding the series never gave it much support. Its refusal to air the second episode was a tip off that the network was not going to go to bat for the series.
