This might sound a little silly, but did they master any TV commercials or shows to a LaserDisc, ready for broadcast? I wonder if they may have also done the same for some other shows that never got official LD releases, maybe not even some Nicktoons (they did official ones with Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy), Cartoon Network shows, or Peanuts and Garfield specials for CBS.

In the 90s many cable companies had "The Preview Channel" that showed what was airing at the time with promos, commercials of upcoming movies, shows in the top half of the screen with the bottom half being the scrolling channel schedule.

Apparently many of these commercials and previews were mastered to LD as I've seen some of them popup on Craigslist for sale, but never jumped on them because the owners were asking a ridiculous amount of money for them ($100+!!!)

I don't have any images on hand, but I have a disk off eBay with background footage of people running around an office that was used as a background in Hard Copy.
