** Edited for Nickelodeon: during the show's first run (1984-87), scenes from "Lord of the Bungle" and "The Bad Luck Eye of the Little Yellow God" were cut due to scenes of African jungle natives, and "Bandits, Beans And Ballyhoo!" (first appearance of El Loco) was left out altogether. All were added in during the second run (1991-94).
