* BizarroEpisode: The episode "Todesflug" (Death Flight) from the German release has achieved somewhat of a cult status in the fandom due to its weirdness. It starts out fairly ordinary, with the Three Investigators being stranded in the desert after their car breaks down on the way to a sci-fi convention. But then it goes completely off the rails and into outright Franchise/JamesBond territory when they stumble across the secret base of a rogue [=NASA=] scientist who has somehow managed to bring a [[KillSat satellite-mounted laser cannon]] into orbit, culminating in Bob ''piloting a space shuttle'' in order to disable the satellite (which he [[IKnowMortalKombat learned from a video game]]). Fans are divided on whether the episode is SoBadItsGood or just plain bad, but everyone agrees that it should be [[FanonDiscontinuity treated as non-canonical]] -- and it seems that even the series' writers agree with the fans on this one, since the events of this episode have never been referenced in any of the following installments.
