Notes[]
- The end credits falsely credit Los Angeles voice actors Cam Clarke, Steve Kramer, Wendee Lee, Doug Stone and Mike Reynolds as providing the character voices. The reason why is unknown, though most likely due to a pilot being dubbed with these voice actors before the cast was changed to local Miami talent with the End credits being left unchanged.[1]
- According to voice actor Jay Zenden, the credits were eventually changed to reflect the accurate cast. As the episodes available online only reached up to Episode 20 before the American Blu-ray release, it was most likely sometime after that episode.[2]
