Talk:The Angry Beavers

Episodes

"No. of episodes: 108": Due to this I had a little email exchange with Micah Wright, where he contradicted: there are only 62 episodes, plus A Tail of Two Rangers/Bye Bye Beavers, giving a total of 63 produced episodes. -- m.

DVD

I've removed the comment that said the show will probabally never come to DVD because of the controversies. Being controversial has never been a reason to stop films & TV series being released on DVD before. The only reason this wouldn't come out is because Nick only seem to release their big money spinners (Spongebob, Rugrats etc...), their cult shows never seeing the light of day.

Its a good thing you did, because it has technically been released on DVD, see the bottom of the page. Im not sure if its a bootleg or not.--Ecwnet 04:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I actually have the DvDs, and they don't appear to be bootleg. They have all of the copyright information, the DVDs have printing, and i'm pretty sure it came in a box set. Derpyhoi (talk) 18:26, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Well, Invader Zim has acheived cult status, and they released the entire series on DVD...

NPOV

The final straw was an un-aired episode titled Bye Bye Beavers, which was going to be the show's last episode, involving Norb having to convince Dag that they're just characters on a TV show, thereby indicating a destruction of the fourth wall. Staffer Micah Wright said that Nickelodeon hated this episode, as it made fun of the station's practice of not making new episodes of their Nicktoons, preferring to air reruns instead. It is unclear if it was even part of foreign syndication. Also, the episode had broken Nick's "code on Nicktoons": When you're going off the air, don't tell your viewers! However, Doug did get a series finale.

This part suggests a non-NPOV by the author of the article.

I've found that often history is looked back upon with a factual opinion. Nazis were bad, the Allies were good; the Romans were great, the Germans no more than barbarians. Some are correct, such as the former. Some, like the latter, are far more debatable. But judging from the fact that the paragraph does not misrepresent Nickelodeon's policy, I would say that it is not an unfair assessment, save the last two lines. I am removing them from the main article --The reverend 08:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, disney finished the series of doug for them, they only stoped it when they were on hiatus like most of there other cartoons as you can see, rockos modern life legend of the hidden temple amd others didn't really have a divine ending

Debut

I could've sworn the series began before 1997. I seem to recall watching it before Hey Arnold and Catdog debuted. 67.188.172.165 17:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Response: Hey Arnold came out in 1996, CatDog came out in 1998.

Address

The beavers address is listed as "RTE 4 BOX 413". Coincidentally the national broadcaster for Ireland is known as RTE with stations RTE 1 and RTE 2 although there is no RTE 4. There is nothing to suggest this is anything more than a coincidental acronym but I make a note of it here anyway in case there is anything more than a coincidenc or any kind of interesting explanation of the address.

A source that could be used: Jerry Beck's Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!

I found a book in the bookstore called Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons! by Jerry Beck. I'm not going to buy it and join the project, but I will ask the other members to get the book so that they can add real world information about various fictional characters.

This makes the creation of separate articles for *many* fictional characters feasible. Having information about the development of the character will make the articles satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) WhisperToMe (talk) 20:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Editing "The Angry Beavers"

I plan to copyedit this article simply out of pure interest. I loved this show when I was younger and now that I'm an editing student in college, I thought this would be a good place to practice. I'll mainly be looking for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.Erinrebeccalong (talk) 18:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

• Please use the Beck book as a source. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

bye bye beavers

According to the episode list article, this was released in the UK. Is this true and if it is why is it not mentioned in this article...Paycheckgurl (talk) 01:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

American style English?

I changed thr information at the top of the page from " in November 11, 2001" to "on November 11, 2001." However, my edit was reverted. Is in "November 11, 2001" even proper english? I am American, thank you very much, and I never hear about things happening "In" some date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.9.178 (talk) 20:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

You changed the spelling from "canceled" to "cancelled". Yngvarr (t) (c) 21:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well what about "canceled in"? Is that also considered American english? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.9.178 (talk) 21:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

It's been changed. treelo _radda 21:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm surprised your edit wasn't reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.9.178 (talk) 01:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Oregon

I'm removing WikiProject Oregon from this article. I can't find any connection to Oregon, except that the word "Beaver" is used. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. tedder (talk) 04:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Voice of Daggett

58.7.205.121 decided to change the voice actor to Billy West under Daggett's entrey in the 'Character' section. Obviously this is incorrect so I have changed it back to Richard Steven Horvitz. And then I logged in. lachie_h^(u|t|c) 12:09, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Controversy

This show had its share of controversy with the episode "Alley-Oops". Should I add this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by StaleCupcakes (talk • contribs) 17:33, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

2001 or 2006 series end debate

Several Vandals have been messing with Nickelodeon air dates including CatDog changed from 2002 to 2005 and Angry Beavers which was changed from 2001 to 2006.Can someone tell why was this changed to 2006 no site on the internet has the ending date of 2006 even if it did the would have shown bye bye beavers which never aired. also User Meadyforzbs has been repetly changing it without any source to back it up on top of that he has already been warned for edit warring. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.249.211 (talk) 02:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Nick USA has a history of having episodes unaired for a long time. There are still episodes of As Told by Ginger that never aired on US TV. http://www.hey-arnold.com/beavers34.html --Meadyforzbs (talk) 08:59, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Wrong, they do not once a show is canceled it stays canceled.For the past 4 or 5 years the end date on here was 2001 before an Anonymous IP changed it to 2006, If it was 2006 Bye Bye Beavers Would have most definitely been shown. There is no way of coming to a Restoration You are already engaged in an edit war and continue to be disrupted and give unreliable/illogical sources so I have reported you..Also you may want to read this Wikipedia:PRIDE--76.107.249.211 (talk) 19:09, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I never said it "wasn't cancelled". It was. I said that the already-completed episodes weren't aired in the USA until 2006. And "Bye Bye Beavers" was never completed, so I don't know why you keep mentioning it. --Meadyforzbs (talk) 20:31, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

The episode that aired in 2003 won a "U-Pick Live" "new episode" poll over ChalkZone. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.nickelodeon/msg/d59a6c42a260ab66 --Meadyforzbs (talk) 22:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Your source is unreliable.Listen to me i know it is hard for you to comprehend but T H E R E A R E N O E P I S O D E S A F T E R 2 0 0 1.Hope that helps the edisode you are talking about aired in 2000 not 2003 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1295968/--76.107.249.211 (talk) 22:47, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

IMDB isn't reliable. The episodes were made in 2000, but Nick USA withheld them for years. They've done this with other shows, too. The episodes that aired in 2006 were actually shown on Nicktoons. --Meadyforzbs (talk) 22:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok we have came to a resolution The nicktoons airdate maybe 2006 but the ORIGINAL AIRDATE is 2001, so that should be the end of are edit dispute. it will be changed back to 2001.--76.107.249.211 (talk) 23:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

No, they never aired on the regular Nick channel in the USA. The 2003 episode was the last one. --Meadyforzbs (talk) 23:05, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Here is another reliable source for 2001 for the final episode http://www.tv.com/shows/the-angry-beavers/beavemaster-deck-poops-157419/ So if you undo the main page again that means you are only doing it to be disruptive.--76.107.249.211 (talk) 23:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

TV.com isn't reliable, either! Why do you ignore what I say, then bring up unreliable sources? The "new episode" poll in 2003 means that they didn't finish airing in 2001. --Meadyforzbs (talk) 23:19, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I TRYED but there is no point in coming to a resolution You are doing the same thing you're doing with Moosedookie and Lol, Number 69! so I'll let the admins decide who is right--76.107.249.211 (talk) 23:27, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I stated my points clearly, but you choose to ignore it. --Meadyforzbs (talk) 23:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hi, gonna jump in here. I'm not an admin, just a fellow editor. Neither one of you are providing adequate proof of the series dates, since all of your facts seem to come from IMDB or TV.com, or Google groups, etc. These sources are user-submitted, and aren't considered terribly accurate. My recommendation is that we take a deep breath, let pride settle for a second, and approach this reasonably. If the dates are in debate, I wonder if perhaps the best thing is maybe to remove the date information entirely, or hang a lantern on the fact that it is unknown. It's not elegant, but if there's no empirical proof, edit-warring isn't going to help. Do the episode airdates appear on the DVDs? Can you find the info at Nick.com? (That doesn't quite qualify as adequate proof for Wikipedia's standards, as the info usually has to come from a third-party, but it might help steer the direction this debate is heading.) And let's remember that the airdate for a US show is the FIRST time the episode airs in the US, not reruns, etc. I know that's not in dispute, I'm just stating it to be cautious. In the interim, I think one or both of you needs to request an admin's assistance in this matter before either of you make further edits to this page, lest you both wind up blocked. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:11, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

According to Nick Animation the last one was aired on 11/11/03 which corresponds with the U-Pick Live date. Don't know if it may be an error by them or not. Also they wrote 64 and not 63 episodes. Maybe they included the pilot? (But they didn't include it in the original run dates.) To be fair, other shows on that site have also some questionable dates and episode countings. --H8149 (talk) 03:45, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Norb's middle name

The article incorrectly lists Norb's middle name as Foster instead of Buster. In several episodes he is refered to as Norbert B. Beaver, and in one his middle name is revealed to be Buster, but I don't know which one off the top of my head. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.107.189.66 (talk) 20:05, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
