** The entire series was available on [=iTunes=] for a while, but the [=DreamWorks=] buy-out led to the series getting yanked off the service, as well. Unless you bought the series then, you're SOL.
* MissingEpisode: Several episodes appeared on DVD and/or Nickelodeon's website well before they made it to air. The last two episodes to be considered "missing" were "Truth Ache" and "Command Crisis", which appeared on the show's first DVD compilation but didn't air until November 2010.
