What were the 65 episodes of The Woody Woodpecker Show that aired on syndication?

[Micahel Cataldo]

I'm hoping to know what the 65 episodes of The Woody Woodpecker Show that aired on syndication were when they were syndicated on Cartoon Network.

That package was distributed by The Program Exchange and was sold to local stations up until (IIRC) September 1997, before it started to JUST air on Cartoon Network (it had been previously been airing simultaneously with the syndicated airings beforehand for around 3 months).

If you want to know where the shows are, it’s likely Universal has the masters for all 91 episodes of the show. Some episodes are on Archive.org and some full shows (with the cartoons cut out) are on YouTube via commercial compilations.

If you want to know where the recordings of the show when it aired on Cartoon Network are, the best I can offer you for now is this partial opening at the end of a technical difficulties moment:

If you want to know what shorts aired in each episode episode, there’s no full episode guide that’s currently available right now (though I may make a partial episode guide on my blog), but IIRC the series mostly consisted of 2 Woody Woodpecker cartoons (mostly from 1955 onward) with a random non-Woody Woodpecker Lantz cartoon inserted in between the 2 shorts (mostly from characters like Andy Panda, Chilly Willy, Inspector Willoughby etc.). Alongside these cartoons were short Musical Miniature segments before and after most of the shorts.

Also, this wasn’t the only Lantz cartoon package that The Program Exchange made. There was also The Beary Family Show, a 13 episode package featuring shorts from Lantz’s “hilarious” Beary Family cartoons (possibly 2 per show and with a non-Beary short not featured on The Woody Woodpecker Show inserted in between, though this is not confirmed) that premiered in 1988 and was shown for a short time on the USA Network, though it was not as widely seen as Program’s Woody package (I don’t even know if any footage of screenshots from Program’s Beary Family package exists online).

As a Lantz fan, I really wish that more footage from both series would resurface (especially that Beary Family one, it sounds so intriguing).

Thank you! Do you have any more syndicated package series episode guides?

I'm currently working on finding more, it's really hard trying to find some episode lists across the internet.
Also, on Archive.org I've uploaded the complete set of Musical Miniature bumpers that were shown inbetween the episodes. Here's the link:

Also, I have a made a page on The Walter Lantz Cartune Wikiapedia page on The Woody Woodpecker Show from 1987, if you guys want to add an episode, here's the link: The Woody Woodpecker Show (1987)

About the 65 episodes thing…

According to the 1997 International Television and Video Almanac, there were apparently 91 half-hours offered via the Program Exchange, not 65.

Wikipedia is actually very close here, saying that there are 90 episodes (then again, Wikipedia’s episode guide for the NBC seasons are not sourced aside from a brief mention that they were allegedly researched on a Brazilian forum (of course it’s Brazil) on the edit history and conflict with my own research but eh).

I can believe that, since I do remember episodes being aired in order, with an episode that aired on Monday airing on Tuesday the next go round.

Do you know the episodes? If you do, can you upload it to the chat so I can copy it down on the list, please?
