3. These episodes had a long production history. The episodes were first written in the summer of 1990 according to my personal collection of Francis Moss' scripts yet contain some sound effects and background music introduced for the 1992 CBS Season (Season 6). They were first aired in the UK during the 1992 Christmas season and did not air in the US until September of 1993, concurrent with the CBS episodes of Season 7.
5. In the US, these episodes aired in syndication on the USA Network. This causes a couple additional changes with regards to the introduction and closing. The original opening sequence and title card last seen in Once Upon A Time Machine returns. The closing credits feature a split screen that only features the French unit that distributed these episodes, and lack credits such as Voice Talent, Storyboard Artists, Character Design, Music, and other credits done by the American unit.
