Talk:I Am Weasel

Weasel's Initials

Except in about one place, Weasel's name is given throughout the article as "I Am Weasel", which is a severe blip in logic given Baboon's name. However, I has an question: Are Weasel's initials given in-material as "I.M." or "I. M."? T.J. Fuller, Jr. (talk) 01:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Both forms can be used, but I think that "I.M." is more conventional. Inox-en ^talk 21:53, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

New episode on November 26, 1999

According to a CCF promo there was a new I Am Weasel on November 26, 1999 along with new Johnny Bravo, PPG, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage and Mike, Lu and Og. How is this possible if everywhere it is listed that I Am Weasel ended in September 1999? Here's the promo for evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI-YOddmlLw --95.111.52.14 (talk) 09:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

All the reliable sources that can be found in Internet say that I Am Weasel has ended on September 16, 1999, there is no source about other date. In that video, is not said if it's really from November 26, 1999, that is only said in the description of the video, which I think it's not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia's policy. Also, I think YouTube is not a reliable source too. I don't know, because I am from the portuguese language Wikipedia, and the policy from here is not the same that the policy from there in various aspects. So, I'll call a user who know much more about the rules of here. 187.10.146.175 (talk) 20:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

The dates on this article match up with the ones on TV.com, where I can only assume the information was originally gathered from. With that being said, I'd like to point out that September 16, 1999, was on a Thursday,[1] and not a Friday when it would be able to air on CCF. Obviously the date is incorrect, and I personally believe the user on YouTube as he seems to know what he's talking about (even if it isn't a "reliable" source).

Well, that's right. The episode wouldn't be able to be aired on September 16, 1999 because it was a thursday and CCF was aired on fridays. So, probably that's not the actual end date of the series. But what we'll do? There is no concrete source which say the actual date. Also, we don't know if the end date can be November 26, 1999, because is not said if in that day was aired the last episode of the series; it's said that new episodes were aired but who can guarantee that one of them was the last episode "I Are Legend"? Including, despite IMDb have many errors in its website, is said there that I Am Weasel ended in 2000 [2].

The only option we have, in my opinion, is to contact Cartoon Network and ask them about the end date of I Am Weasel. What do you think, Paper Luigi? 187.10.146.175 (talk) 00:01, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I've been researching this for a while now, and I haven't found very much on the show's end date. One thing I did find was this old page from CartoonNetwork.com in the early 2000s that lists six episodes with their airdates. Unfortunately, none of them are even close to the Nov. 26 airing, but I did notice the episode "This Bridge, Not Weasel Bridge" is listed as being aired on September 16, 1997 (a Tuesday of all days, though it was well before CCF became established). As for contacting Cartoon Network, I doubt that they'd reply, but it's still worth a try. Paper Luigi ^{Talk • Contributions} 00:38, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and this too, which states that "Legend of Big Butt/I Am Dragon Slayer/I Are Legend" was completed on September 16, 1999, not aired. Paper Luigi ^{Talk • Contributions} 00:41, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Interesting. So, that's the problem: September 16, 1999 is the end date of I Am Weasel's production, not original airing. It's a pity that in the source the original airing date is not included, becuase it would resolve the problem now. About the first source you found: those six episodes are all from the season 1, therefore that their airdates are not close to the date of the CCF promo. Now that you found the second source you cited, we can arrive at a half-conclusion: probably, on November 26, 1999, CCF aired the three first episodes of season 5 (I Are Terraformer! / I Am Viking / The Drinking Fountain of Youth), so is likely that I Am Weasel's original airing end date was on early 2000, as mentioned in IMDb. I don't know, but is a hypothesis.

Tomorrow, I'll search for more sources too. Try to contact Cartoon Network, maybe they reply. And sorry if my English contains errors, it is not advanced, just intermediate. 187.10.146.175 (talk) 03:19, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Exactly, and I agree, I really wish that table was complete. By the way, I also contacted the guy who made the video mentioned above. He told me that "The Incredible Shrinking Weasel / Baboon Man and Boy Weasel / I.M.N. Love" was aired on October 1, 1999 (which is completely possible considering that episode finished production on June 11), but I can't find a reliable source to use as a reference.

I found another source saying that I Am Weasel made its official debut as a spinoff on June 10, 1999 (the day before the first CCF). Paper Luigi ^{Talk • Contributions} 04:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

This has become a hot discussion! It's great that ccffreak posted this video or else we probably would have never found out that September 16, 1999 wasn't the last episode's premiere, but the date it was produced. Anyways, I made a thread on ToonZone, but so far nothing. I hope we get the information from Cartoon Network, althought I doubt it.--95.111.52.14 (talk) 12:37, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
