I loved the show as a kid. Tried to watch it recently and just couldn't stand the baby.
Also, one of the leads being named Robby was always a little weird for me. For obvious reasons.
@Venomous:
Ah your right, netflix needs to fix the episode order then because they have that listed as the 6th to last episode when i watched them all recently. I was wondering why it seemed like they never resolved it when thats actually the way they meant to end it.
That's not a problem with Netflix, its actual production/aired order.
The last six or so episodes never actually aired or made it into any syndication packages for whatever reason, they were only available on the dvd years later… while the final episode with the impending ice age DID air.
I have no idea what the production/renewal backstory is behind that particular decision, but it is how it is. My guess would be that due to lengthy production times and an ongoing multi-year commitment up until then, they had assumed there would be a renewal and had already started producing for a following season when they got the official cancellation notice and did up the last episode... so they had extra episodes in the can but the network hadn't actually paid to get, schedule or air them...
A similar thing happened with the 11th season of the 89 Ninja Turtles cartoon... where the 10th season ended in a cliffhanger, and the follow up episodes never actually aired... but ended up on dvd 15 years later.
