[unreleased media] Missing episodes of "The Samsonadzes" (Georgian Simpsons) – including a crossover where Gela speaks to Homer Simpson on Skype
Background
Hi everyone. I’m a lifelong resident of Tbilisi, Georgia, and I’m looking for help tracking down the missing episodes of The Samsonadzes (სამსონაძეები).
Aired around 2009–2010 on the channel TV Imedi, the show gained international internet fame for being a blatant, CGI-animated "Georgian Simpsons" clone. While international audiences know of the show, very few have actually tried to archive it. Right now, if you search YouTube or Georgian streaming sites, you can only find about 13 to 15 episodes. However, the official production run was closer to 18–20 episodes, meaning a significant portion of the show is currently lost media.
The "Lost" Skype Crossover Episode
I was about 5 years old when it aired in 2010, and I distinctly remember an episode that sounds completely fake, but I swear on my life it happened.
In this specific episode, the main character, Gela Samsonadze, calls Homer Simpson on Skype.
The Details: It was a meta-acknowledgment of the show being a clone. They actually rendered/showed Homer Simpson on a computer screen inside the Samsonadzes' art style, and Gela had a conversation with him.
The Lead: On basic episode guides online, there is an episode listed as "Simpsons in My Family" (often labeled as Episode 11). I am almost certain this is the episode I remember, but the video file for it does not seem to exist anywhere on the modern internet.
Other Lost Content
Aside from the Skype crossover, several other episodes are completely unaccounted for. Another Reddit user a while back mentioned remembering a "Season 2" bootleg CD where an episode featured everyone in the town being completely frozen in place except for the main family.
How You Can Help
Because the show was made by Shalva Ramishvili’s production team during a specific era of Georgian television, a lot of this media wasn't digitized well.
Are there any Georgian data-hoarders who have old TV Imedi broadcasts saved from 2009-2010?
Did anyone buy the old physical DVD/CD releases of the show that might contain the full 20-episode run?
Does anyone have a working link or archival file for "Simpsons in My Family"?
Any help tracking down the missing pieces of Georgia's strangest piece of animation history would be incredible!
