Season Four

Please don't remove Season 4, "Purple Haze" through "Go Pop," anymore. These five episodes debuted in May 2005 and are now in rotation on Nick. I have all five on tape; I'll provide a copy if you need one.

In April 2005, Frederator Studios confirmed via email that there are a total of forty episodes and Nick is not ordering more. I could not get an answer as to whether "The Big Blow-Up" is included in that list, and if so, as one episode or two. To the best of my knowledge, the last episode to premiere was "The Crush/The Gift of Good Intentions/Snapshots II/Go Pop", which was pre-empted for a Fairly Oddparents special and appeared a week after the other four. As of 06 Feb 2006, there is no fifth season. I can't confirm the existence of the spurious fifth season episodes listed in previous edits.--Don Jaime 04:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The Magic Chalkminds Giant

Now I do not remember his name, but shouldn't he be added to the list of main characters? After all, he is a main character. He has been in most of the episodes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.232.255.126 (talk) 08:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

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)

"Smudges"

IIRC, drawings that were not erased, but merely erased, entered ChalkZone in a zombie-like state. Also, scale is apparently decided by the artist's intent (mountains), although we sometimes see Rudy seeking out a large "chalk surface" to draw on. CZ does not have day/night day/night are separated physically ("Night/DayZone"), and a drawing will enter in pieces if not entirely erased at once, but will enter in one piece in "strokes" while being erased. Not sure of what the time frame is that decides this, or what else (i.e., lifting the eraser from the board. Normal letters go to the dump. ✏✎✍✌✉✈✇✆✃✄Ⓠ‽ (talk) 13:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

The title image needs some refreshing... Just pointing it out. Thanks! Ehccheehcche (talk) 22:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

agreed. It looks like someone took a picture of a tv screen

PBS Kids?

Even though a show named ChalkZone aired on PBS Kids, that doesn't mean that Nick's ChalkZone is based on the PBS Kid's ChalkZone series. Right?P.S. I Rock Wikipedia! (talk) 02:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)DJ WikiBob

It don't need to be in PBS, especially Season 4.--96.37.65.58 (talk) 04:37, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Two missing episodes?

The main page and the List of episodes page both make the claim that two episodes were left unaired.

I have recently found this questionable because I read from the following source that the "unaired episodes" are not on the show's DVD set and may not have existed in the first place: http://w11.zetaboards.com/Third_Street_School/blog/entry/3109869/337008/

I would like it if someone could provide a source proving that the two unaired episodes (Darkness Rain/Failure Zone/The Scent of Stupidity/Snap-a-Snap and The Art of Sucker Punch/Family Reunion).

If no reliable source proving the episodes' existence can be found, it would be practical to remove them from the episode list and remove the main page's mentioning of two unaired episodes.

Hi @LordLiberation:, discussion forums are rarely (if ever) considered reliable sources. That said, I think it warrants some investigation, since if we cannot source that there were some mysterious episodes, it doesn't improve the article. Occasionally we see the addition of such episodes as fanfiction/wishful thinking disguised as content. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Preliminarily, I see this: Scent of Stupidity and Snap-A-Snap but I question whether or not these are legitimate titles or if BCDB just scraped the content from IMDb. BCDB seems to have a "Report Errors / Submit Corrections" feature, which suggests that they are soliciting user contributions, and that they might not be any better than IMDb. I tried finding these titles at Google News and Google Books but was not successful. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Cyphoidbomb:. I have looked at the BCDB sources and have found more evidence suggesting the episodes are phony. The BCDB articles have a section that claims you can purchase and download the episodes from Amazon video. I looked at the season four playlist and neither of the "missing episodes" we're there. Ian Fairchild (talk) 23:57, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I would probably just remove it on general principle which will shift the burden back on the unknown contributors who submitted it to begin with. I feel pretty good that we've both performed due diligence to attempt to substantiate it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:02, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I always wondered why the episode list claimed that these two episodes aired in November 2009, despite the every other part of the Internet saying they never aired. Has anybody asked a staff member from the show if these were real? (If anybody's even able to get in touch with one) Beastlcharizard13'sdefinitions (talk) 08:48, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

PBS Kids Really?

There's a lot of people saying "this show should be in PBS Kids". I should've be in PBS, because it is not a little kids show, it's not educated. Especially Season 4, the day the show begins to upgrade.--96.37.65.58 (talk) 04:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
