Who Wrote "Usagi Yojimbo" and "Usagi Come Home"?
 

Working on my site and I noticed that Usagi Yojimbo (Episode 50) and Usagi Come Home (Episode 52) did not have a writer listed on the old ninjaturtles.com website. I could probably watch the episodes to find out but I figure why not ask first...

Thanks!

Thank you good sir!

Usagi and the Easter Bunny
 

And why didn't we see Donatello using his dimensional portal to transport Usagi home again, like we saw the Easter Bunny in "Once Upon a Time Machine"?

Different writer, plus the Usagi episodes came first. Usagi was definitely much smarter than Hokem Hare to find his way home (the Easter Bunny was actually that costumed guy who April reported with at the beginning of OUATM.)

Usagi return
 

OK, I mean Hokem Hare, not that guy wearing a costume. But I would still see Usagi return.

How about Farewell Lotus Blossom, Episode 90? Who wrote that?

IMDB says Wise. But I'd have to look on the DVD to be sure... and I'm not how now.

No, it was Wise. I checked, via the official site's title screen gallery:

Quite useful, I must say.

Title screen
 

I love when it's not that title screen, but just the episiode begins and the episode title is written. (like "Rhino-Man") where you see that church and episode title.

But season 4 (and Vacation in Europe) seems to have both.

But why does the "Turtles and the Hare" and "Once Upon a Time Machine" also have Leonardo eating pizza? Are they first intended for season 4 (Technodrome in Dimension X.) Must have been dissappointing to watch season 4 without any season last episode feeling.

Wow that's awesome. Thanks for the link, never seen the title screen page here on the drome. To quote Donnie.

This place has everything!

The title cards indicate the episodes that didn't belong to CBS.

So to get some clarification on this gobo, you are saying that the episodes with the title cards were aired on CBS or owned by CBS while the ones that had the title appear as the show started were not? This is an interesting tidbit I had not known. Any other info on it?

Changing Channel
 

So they changed channel right in the middle of season 4, then again for two season 5 epsidoes and finaly to the Vacation in Europe sideseason?

Other way around... CBS didn't use title cards. The reason I didn't say the title cards belong to the syndicated episodes is because the Euro-cruise eps had them too, but they were aired exclusively on cable.

It went like this:

• Pilot season (5 syndicated eps)
• Season 2 (13 syndicated eps)
• Season 3 (47 syndicated eps)

That completed the traditional syndicated package of 65 eps.

• Season 4 (26 CBS eps 1st, then 13 syndicated)
• Season 5 (18 CBS eps + Primetime Turtleoids special)
• Season 6 (16 CBS eps & 13 cable-only-but-originally-intended-for-syndication eps)
• Season 7 (14 CBS eps)
• Season 8 (8 CBS eps) aka "Red Sky"
• Season 9 (8 CBS eps) aka "Red Sky"
• Season 10 (8 CBS eps) aka "Red Sky"

So, that makes it 93 eps with title cards, and 98 CBS eps + the hour-long Primetime special.

Mid-season
 

So why change Channel all the time even in mid-season?
