The musical genre for the episode "Newsflash" should be Motown rather than Easy-Listening.
Added section for Season Three
I've rendered the Season Three section hidden for now, but new episodes will start showing September 8th, so when that day comes, I'll unhide it and add the first of the new episodes, since it's quite likely I'll see it before anyone else. HalfShadow 22:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Super Secret Super Spy dvd
I have it, and it contains the three episodes listed as "tentative" (The Secret of Snow, A Giant Problem, and International Super Spy). I have removed the tentative label. -- Flyguy649 talk contribs 14:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
So do I. The catchphrase is wrong, however. "Shaken" is only said 3 times in the whole double-length special. However, "Check this out" I consider a catchphrase. Somebody might want to change the entry. Ash "Gotta Catch Em' All" Ketchum 16:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ash Ketchum (talk • contribs)
- Thing is, what's listed as "Catchphrase" on the episode entries is the phrase the characters say at the very end of the episodes, just before the credits roll. This made a lot of sense on season one, but from season two onwards, the closing phrases aren't necessarily "catchphrases" repeated numerous times anymore. SirMustapha 20:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
UK Variant
I don't know who keeps changing the UK snacks for Season 2 (that I've noticed) but I've had to change several so far. Someone is quite insistant that the UK snack for "Cops and Robots" is doughnuts - but I've seen it twice now, and can confirm it's definately toast and jam. Similarly the snack after "Best Clowns in Town" is popcorn and not cheese! The majority of these edits are by IP Address only, so I don't know who they are. I know it's not of major importance (least of all to those of you on the other side of the pond) but if we're going to get it right let's keep it right???DAAdshead 15:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Tea Party
I have never heard of "High Tea" but I have heard of "The Tea Party"

Pirate Camp Synopsis
When I originally posted the info for the Pirate Camp episode, I did a copy/paste of the episode summary from the Nick Jr. site. Rightly so, I got called out for copyright violation and the summary was deleted. I re-wrote the summary, it's Tasha's house at the end instead for a snack
- I re-added it. Sorry, I thought you'd just reposted your earlier synopsis. HalfShadow 17:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Tale of the Mighty Knights
I'm pretty sure this episode counts as part of Season three. -- Flyguy649 talk 20:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Except that the first air date was during season 2, not season 3 [1] 76.105.14.155 (talk) 11:05, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- No it wasn't. Season Two was 2007, Season Three was 2008; Tales was released in 2008. HalfShadow 15:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I'd just like to justify, before anyone goes berserk, the alterations I've done in that section. For one, there's nothing, absolutely nothing 80's in that episode's music. All songs and all the soundtrack is influenced exclusively by 70's rock bands - most notable of them is Queen, and yes, you can trace all six songs somehow to a 70's Queen song: We're Knights to We Will Rock You/Great King Rat; A Challenge to Bohemian Rhapsody; Goblin to Don't Stop Me Now; Tweedily Dee to Flick of the Wrist; Dragon Mountain to Killer Queen and Not an Egg to Spread Your Wings. You can also notice traces of Sparks on some songs, and some of them at times sound like 70's progressive rock bands like Genesis. I'm sure those who are a lot more into 70's rock can make more connections; what I know is that 80's rock is completely another world. Also, the term "rock opera" can cause some confusion, because it refers strictly to concept albums like Tommy and Quadrophenia by The Who, which narrate a story from beginning to end. Queen never did that - they only combined rock with musical elements of opera. SirMustapha (talk) 19:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Robot Rampage
Roller Disco was a disco event, not a genre, even if the robots are on roller skates for the entire episode. I don't know what the music exactly is in this episode but it's closer to ELO/Styx etc. Was the choice of "roller disco" as a genre just a placeholder? kah13 (talk) 22:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- That's what it's called on the case. HalfShadow 23:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
There's a lot in the music to remind me of ELO, but the roller skates also remind me of Star Light Express. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.114.84 (talk) 23:09, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Catch phrase edits: For the love of socks and Break out
In for the love of socks, Tyrone's often says "In all my days, I've never seen anything like it," but also sometimes it's "In all my years, I've never see anything like this." So maybe it should be written as "In all my days/years..."
Also in Break out, I haven't heard Uniqua and Tasha say "It's go time" a lot. I think they might have said "You know the drill. Deploy ____" more often, if that counts as a catchphrase. Kaboomblahstick (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Catch that Train
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the song "Yes Sir, I am the Engineer" sounds somewhat like a part in "Ragtime Dance" by Scott Joplin. Maybe that could be where the tune is from? Kaboomblahstick (talk) 02:21, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Key to the Nile, music description
A better description of the the music would be Early 20th-Century Broadway, or perhaps Vaudeville. The original tunes were definitely pre-Golden Age (1930's and '40's). The repurposed tune was part of the Ziegfeld Follies of 1908. MilSF1 (talk) 00:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Episode table conversion complete
As of this version of the article, I have completed the conversion of the bulleted list to episode tables. This was a tedious and sucky process. While I did exercise care, I would recommend that other eyes double-check my work for accuracy. All the dates are unsourced, which is problematic, and in S4 we suddenly start including US airdates, which makes it unclear whether all the dates listed are the Canadian dates, or the US dates. This ambiguity is problematic as well. I don't care about the table colors, but they should not be changed unless the changes are consistent with WP:COLOR. All the current colors are WCAG 2.0 AAA compliant. (Use this tool.) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:31, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
Production order instead of airing order
Hello, I recently attempted to change the episode list so that it would be ordered by production order as opposed to American-aired order, as the series is Canadian-American and we do not even list most of the Canadian air dates on the page (nor do we use them to order the episodes). I am seeking consensus on whether or not this change should be made. The official production order is somewhat difficult to locate, but it can be found. First, the verified Treehouse YouTube channel lists episodes by production order here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fESYMvjZE-4&index=1&list=PLUIixndCOJ8wP5um51QHMEVgAAtPm_hsq Secondly, you can use NickJr.com to find production order, although it involves some effort. Simply replace the episode name and episode number to that of any other episode in this link: http://www.nickjr.com/the-backyardigans/videos/pirate-treasure-s1-ep101-full-episode/ For example, if you change "pirate-treasure-s1-ep101" to "the-yeti-s1-ep103", you would be able to access the page at http://www.nickjr.com/the-backyardigans/videos/the-yeti-s1-ep103-full-episode/ - however, if you type in the previously-listed numbers on the page, no valid video page would be found. There are also the licensed iTunes page here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/the-backyardigans-season-1/id192438847 and Amazon page here: http://www.amazon.com/Pirate-Treasure/dp/B003MEBTYW Please list your thoughts below about whether or not the change should take place. 108.20.47.212 (talk) 00:18, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
A lesser issue that has been brought up is whether or not the episode titles should be corrected to how they are displayed on-screen and on the official Treehouse TV playlist. One could say that the rules at MOS:CT are against this, but as this kind of naming is not addressed specifically I am seeking consensus on whether or not they should be corrected. Thank you. 108.20.47.212 (talk) 00:18, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- 108.20.47.212 Thank you for opening this discussion, which is a continuation of the discussion from my talk page. I'll address the lesser issue first: MOS:CT has a specific formatting for composition titles. Community consensus already exists on this point, so there's little to debate on that matter here, since there's no real reason to deviate from community norms. Here, for example, you've changed "Race to the Tower of Power" to "Race To The Tower Of Power". We are not required to faithfully reproduce anybody else's style guidelines. Even direct quotations (per MOS:QUOTE) can be silently corrected if there's no impact to meaning, or if the typo isn't contextually relevant. As to your other points, I don't see anything in either of these sources that says definitively that they are ordered per the production schedule. I think we're drawing a conclusion that is not expressly stated in any of the sources, which would lean toward synthesis. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was able to contact BackyardigansKaibigan, who has proof of the series' production order. I understand your reasoning for the title changes, and that issue can be marked resolved, but the production order issue is a serious one. 108.20.47.212 (talk) 01:54, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- We normally order by air date unless there is a compelling reason not to do so, and I don't see one here. Cyphoidbomb is quite correct regarding MOS:CT. There is very little that I can add to that. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:36, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I understand the reasoning here: the airdates given are not for both of the series' countries of origin (Canada and America), and even worse, they are all unsourced. It is very unclear whether the airdates are for America or Canada (except for several season four episodes), so I will side by changing the order to production order unless we can find sources that list these episodes' airdates. I do not see a reason to change the episode titles, but that has already been addressed. Squiddaddy (talk) 16:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- TV Guide has a list of the episodes with air dates.[1] --AussieLegend (✉) 16:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- First of all, it is still very unclear which country of origin those dates are from. As the dates are different for both Canada and America, production order is most likely the best way to go. Secondly, TV Guide is not affiliated with Nickelodeon and is often full of errors. For example, it claims that "Oswald (TV series)" has two seasons here: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/oswald/episodes/203594/ when multiple Nickelodeon-released reports confirm that it has only had one season (see the page for those sources). Even the image for the so-called "season two" episodes is a "Season 1" banner - we need an official source. Squiddaddy (talk) 18:25, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- What "official" source are you describing? So far all that has really been suggested (by 108.20.47.212 in the first post) is that we use URLs to determine production order, which requires us to make an unfounded assumption that Nickelodeon's website is organized according to production. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was saying that we need to find an official source of some sort, since TV Guide is not one. You are right in that the closest thing suggested so far was the NickJr.com URL, and I did some research to determine whether or not the website was organized by production order. This seems to be the case, as the first episode of PAW Patrol produced is listed as 101 (when it aired fifteenth in the US, and a different number in Canada) here: http://www.nickjr.com/paw-patrol/videos/pups-make-a-splash-s1-ep101-full-episode/ I looked at the confirmed production numbers of Fresh Beat Band of Spies episodes on the Futon Critic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/fresh-beat-band-of-spies/listings/) - these episodes were aired out of order by Nick - and NickJr.com uses these production codes (for example, this episode: http://www.nickjr.com/fresh-beat-band-of-spies/videos/mummy-mayhem-s1-ep102-full-episode/ aired third in the US but was produced second, so it is listed as 102). Squiddaddy (talk) 21:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Episode numbers do not necessarily correlate to production order. With an 11-minute series, a studio might use unique internal production codes for each segment, which they later package into half hour episodes according to whatever criteria they want. So segments coded internally as X101 and X114 could have been produced 13 episodes apart, but could still be packaged as episode 101, and there would be no indication to you the viewer when each segment was produced. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:17, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- You make a good point, but for a 22-minute program like this, I can't imagine Nickelodeon using any other system aside from production order or airing order. Since it's clearly not airing order, I believe that it is production order in the URLs, but I will still try to find a clearer source. Squiddaddy (talk) 12:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- I received an invite. Before anything else, not even Canada broadcast the series in order at times. (I prefer for you to save the "sight your sources on this quick note" spiel for another time.)

- While I'll save more of my evidence for later, the director, David Palmer, actually said the proper order right here.
- They were archived prior to this talk page post, but, I assume not even this would be accepted. 'not surprised, honestly. BackyardigansKaibigan (talk) 02:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. Those production codes line up with their episodes' NickJr.com URLs, so I'd say it has been confirmed that the site uses production order. Should I correct the ordering, or is there anything else we should address first? Squiddaddy (talk) 21:58, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- Surely neither of you are proposing that we would trust as factual a Wikipedia talk page comment from someone who claims to be a show director. Am I misinterpreting this? This is textbook user-generated content. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:41, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Another source of episode airing dates is Amazon and iTunes both official outlets for the series and info listed there does come from the official distributor. We have good info for an airing order for the US and that should be the episode order in the article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:09, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
I apologize sincerely for being so foolish; please disregard my previous comments on the order that the "director" used. I believe that the true issue here is what to do about airing dates. The series is Canadian-American, and simply using American air dates does not accurately represent the order that they were aired in the series' other country of origin. However, the iTunes and Amazon links Geraldo Perez listed both use the production order that NickJr.com uses in addition to providing air dates, so I am not sure which side of the case those sources support. Squiddaddy (talk) 16:59, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
I looked over the Amazon link and was quite confused; "The Yeti" is listed as having aired on October 10, 2004, when the series did not air in America until the 11th. Could these air dates, which slightly differ from the American ones, be the Canadian air dates? Squiddaddy (talk) 17:02, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- I'm still having problems with the use of the term "production order". It is wholly assumptive to say that episode 301 was produced before 302, so long as we know that a studio can release episodes any way they want. As a real-world example, see List of Robot and Monster episodes. Without getting into the nuts and bolts of a staggered production schedule, typically for a series like R&M, the studio will alternate directors. While director 1 is directing the first cart, director 2 is working on the second cart. Director 3 starts work on the third cart. Director 1 starts working on the fourth cart. You may notice in the episode list that Sam Levine directs two episodes in a row or three episodes in a row here and there. That's a strong indication that the episodes are not being bundled according to production order, and the (albeit unsourced) production codes seem to jibe with this. Now Backyardigans seems to have done stuff differently, but my point is, we can't assume that the final packaged ordering = production order. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:04, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- I understand your reasoning completely. The order used on official sources isn't necessarily production order. However, it is an "official order" and it seems that it would be most appropriate to use it instead of one country's airing order, as the series was produced in both Canada and America. Just a side note, the number codes on other series' episode lists are not usually confirmed to be the true production order, and even less commonly are they sourced. In this case, there are official sources from which we can derive an order, so we should include it. Squiddaddy (talk) 01:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- I don't have a problem if the eps are ordered per iTunes or Amazon so long as we're not making statements that are unfounded. I'd only suggest further that we be sure the Amazon and iTunes orders are the same. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:49, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oddly, iTunes is missing the last few episodes from season one, but aside from that Amazon's and iTunes' season one orders are the same. I don't know what to do for the other seasons at the moment, because iTunes' orders for seasons 2-4 don't match up with Amazon, NickJr.com, or even what is currently on the article. Is it possible we could simply go by Amazon's order? Squiddaddy (talk) 16:36, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- There hasn't been discussion here in a while, so I will present another point. The current episode page is misleading, as there were three two-part episodes produced as two episodes each to make each season have 20 episodes. I can provide more sources for this if needed, but the Nelvana page here stating that there is 80 episodes should suffice. The current page makes it seem as if there were three less episodes than there actually were, but if we go by the Amazon order we can simply divide the two-part episodes into two without having to worry about whether or not they were aired on the same day. Squiddaddy (talk) 21:01, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- Amazon shows 3 extended length episodes but no 2-parters. Is there any indication anywhere that the extended length episodes were split in two and presented separately? If not we should report in the article what was in the final produced product, not what went in to making it. Nelvana is keeping track of production slots but sourced evidence suggests that the long episodes were single entities and not just two short episodes shown back to back. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:52, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- There is definitely indication of this on Treehouse TV's verified YouTube channel (the first parts of each double length episode are available here, here and here), in which each part is given their own episode number and posted separately. The title cards of each episode half are different, the theme song is included before each part, and there is even a "Last time on..." sequence before the second part so that it can be aired separately. I recall the episodes being shown as full hours too, so it seems that the episodes were aired as both hour episodes and in halves, similarly to the 23rd and 24th episodes of Henry Danger that I know were shown as both an hour-long episode and separately. I could look for more evidence on the Internet Archive if needed, but since the show is no longer airing in reruns in the US I cannot find schedules that list the episodes.

Squiddaddy (talk) 21:01, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
I see that this discussion has been inactive for quite some time, but I have been planning to fix up the main article and this article for a while. Ordering by air date does not seem very logical for this page, as most sources contradict each other regarding air dates (see Zap2it's page for the series finale, which lists it as having aired on May 3, 2010 instead of the 31st, which would place it before "The Amazing Splashinis"). Does anyone object to me reordering the episodes using the Nick Jr. schedule? The schedule seems to order the episodes as the Canadian Treehouse channel also does. For example, the schedule entry for "Pirate Treasure" reads "Episode 101" while the entry for "Knights Are Brave and Strong" reads "Episode 109". It should also be noted that the schedule shows the two-part episode "Tale of the Mighty Knights" as having two parts (Part 1 is "309" while Part 2 is "310"). I'm not going to assume that Nick Jr.'s order is "production order", but it seems to be a better fit than the unclear air date system as it agrees with the Canadian source. The Last Wikibender 02:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- Update, July 21: I came across iTunes' "Complete Series" package, which I was previously unaware of. The order is the same as the one used by the Nick schedule. Since the iTunes site is a single page listing the episodes, it will be much easier to reference than the eighty individual Nick Jr. links. Two earlier commenters have suggested iTunes as a reference, so it seems to be the best choice. The Last Wikibender 03:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- Nice as it would be to assume good faith in all provided dates, if there are conflicts occurring about them we could resolve that with distributor-sourcing. This is generally of higher authority than fan sites like zap2it, which I know to have produced errors on multiple occasions. Isn't iTunes US-based?
- In this case Rogers' dates may not be accurate in every instance, at least not currently, since http://www.rogersondemand.com/OnDemand/Show/backyardigans?lang=en claims episode 1 aired 27 June 2016... going back might give better luck. The 10 March 2014 archive gives dates ranging from 2012 to 2014 which is closer but still seems too late. I think the problem here is that these dates probably reflect when they were first broadcast on Treehouse rather than when they first debuted on Nickelodeon (Canada) which from above discussion sounds like it might have preceded its debut on Nick US? Ranze (talk) 12:08, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
NickCanada
Is it being proposed that most of the OADs for these episodes were on the Nick channel in Canada or am I misunderstanding? If so there are schedule pages archived on archive.org and I can check the specific dates to see (if they are archived) if the episode in question is mentioned there.
For example in season 4 I see for "Break Out!" it mentions 24 November 2009 and https://web.archive.org/web/20091119214108/http://www.nickcanada.com/Schedule/2009/11/24 only lists "W-I-O-WA News" and "Catch That Butterfly" as having aired on that day. So which channel did air it November 24th?
This won't be a universal solve since as you can see there is nothing at https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.nickcanada.com/Schedule/2009/10/26 for checking the date listed next to "The Funnyman Boogeyman" but it still could help with verifying or disqualifying some claims. If we can show an episode did not air on a stated date then this must mean, if it did debut on that date, it would've been on some other station. Ranze (talk) 12:18, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure which network (Treehouse or Nick Canada) the Canadian S4 air dates are supposed to be from, which is one of the reasons why I decided to question ordering the episodes using unverified/unclear dates. Nick Canada wasn't launched until 2009, so earlier commenters were probably referring to Treehouse when they mentioned Canada airing the series first. I'm currently looking through Treehouse's schedule to find information on episode premieres and I can confirm Treehouse debuted the series prior to Nickelodeon US. The earliest that the series appears on Treehouse's schedule is September 11, 2004 - this archived schedule from September 8 shows Backyardigans episodes airing on Saturday (September 11) and Sunday (September 12). Nick US didn't air the series until exactly one month later (this article confirms the US premiere). The Last Wikibender 20:03, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Protect?
I think this page should be protected, due to the high number of vandals (most likely children) who are removing and/or changing details, self-promoting, and spreading false information. Just a suggestion. PikaSka (talk) 18:32, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
