List of Timon & Pumbaa episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is an episode list for The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa, an American animated television series made by Walt Disney Television Animation, based on Disney's 1994 feature film The Lion King. It follows the adventures of Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog, as they continue to live by their problem-free philosophy hakuna matata. Rafiki, Zazu, and hyena trio Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed are also given their own segments occasionally.
Much like Aladdin, almost every episode title is a parody of a famous movie, song, phrase, or TV show. Geographic place names, usually those where an episode is set, form the basis of the puns, for example "To Kilimanjaro Bird" is a combination of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird and the name of the mountain Kilimanjaro; "Kenya Be My Friend" & "Catch Me if you Kenya" feature the name of Kenya, Africa.
In the fall of 1995, 13 episodes premiered on Friday afternoons on the syndicated Disney Afternoon block, and 12 more episodes aired on Saturday mornings on CBS at the same time. In the fall of 1996, 13 new episodes aired on The Disney Afternoon, with 8 more premiering on CBS. Because the syndicated and CBS episodes are divided here, the episodes from the first two seasons are not listed according to their broadcast chronology. In 1998, 39 new episodes were produced due to overseas demand. These episodes began airing on Toon Disney on January 1, 1999. In total, the series ran for 85 half-hour episodes, with 171 segments.
In the third season, characters like Simba, Speedy, Fred, Irwin, Boss Beaver, the Vulture Police, Rabbit, Toucan Dan, and the Natives are absent.
