Notes

Several things set this season apart from all the others:

  • This is the only season to feature Rupert Degas and Lewis MacLeod as part of the voice cast. Degas left to move to Australia, while MacLeod left for unknown reasons.
  • This is the only season where Rob does not have a speaking role.
  • This is the only season to have 36 episodes. 40 episodes were originally planned, but four of them had to be scrapped due to budget problems; two of them were named "The Mom" and "The Pizza", while the two others were unnamed.
