I've just made some edits to the article [1] based on other edits today. [2] For the benefit of that editor, and maybe others, the following explanation is presented.
|last_aired=
should be "present" if the series was ongoing or renewed, and the
Template:Infobox television instructions reflect this: "The original airdate of the show's last episode. Use "present" if the show is ongoing or renewed and {{
end date}} if the show is ended." This is a widely used template and if you have problems with use of "present" in "|last_aired=
" you'll need to address that at
Template talk:Infobox television. Don't edit war by constantly removing it here when it's being used quite in accordance with the template instructions. --

08:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)Regarding Tara Strong, I’m not sure that she voices characters on the show that are significant enough or reoccurring often enough to justify the “expand section” tag placed atop the Characters section of this article. From what I’ve gathered here, Strong has so far been credited with the following roles:
I have also found that IMDb credits Strong with voicing Alice in one episode (“Operation: Plush & Cover”), but I cannot say for sure at this time if that is correct or not.
I mention all of this because not all actors who voice minor or infrequent characters are placed within the infobox. For instance, Diedrich Bader, the voice of the Rat King in three episodes so far, does not appear in the infobox. Neither does Fred Stoller, who has voiced Fred the squirrel in multiple episodes, nor Richard Kind, the voice of Roger the alligator in two episodes so far. Other examples also exist.
I’m not sure how many people who regularly edit this article actively watch the series, but as someone who does, I figured that I’d place this up to perhaps be helpful regarding the whole “Tara Strong” situation. If it doesn’t help, I hope it still serves some purpose in the discussion. Sgt. R.K. Blue ( talk) 05:45, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
The second paragraph really needs to be updated, because it makes it sound like there have only been a total of 52 episodes ordered so far, when there have obviously been more. Aside from a sentence about ratings, it doesn't seem like that paragraph may have even been updated since 2009! Alphius ( talk) 22:13, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
It's been announced and some won some were nominated so add them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.38.1.39 ( talk) 15:35, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
I've removed, at least for now, the "Feature film" section, which mentioned a future DreamWorks film starring the penguin characters and titled The Penguins of Madagascar. There is no current indication that the film will be a direct spin-off of the TV show and not the theatrical films, where the penguins have different looks and two have different voice actors than in the Nickelodeon series. In fact, according to an interview with Bob Schooley, executive producer of the TV series, "There is a Penguins movie in production at DW, but at this time it's unrelated to the series. That could always change though, I guess." — Sgt. R.K. Blue ( talk) 18:03, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
according to IMDB, weren't there new episodes into February 2013 anyway? Not one of the more reliable sources, I realize (their attempts to make the site more reliable notwith... a subject for something else.) - and so not using it as a source but as a prompt for a question.

I noticed the "Nickelodeon debut" section, and it seems pointless to have a separate section, the information should be moved to the "Broadcast" section, and by the looks of it, parts of it to the "Production" section. nyuszika7h ( talk) 13:36, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello:
So i'm having a really hard time getting evidence in that Bob Schooley, the show's executive producer and longtime animation veteran, acknowledges that the Lunacorns is a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic parody, as described in this direct interview given by an accredited animation industry worker/expert as defined by Wikipedia's guidelines for reference sources (he even lists his credible work done onsite), [1] something which is likely to be obvious to anybody who has seen the Lunacorn- themed episodes "Hello, Dollface" or "Operation: Lunacorn Apocalypse" and again this is something which Schooley himself acknowledges. I was wondering if I or another person may edit in (under full protection) this strong evidence from, if you excuse the expression, "the horse's mouth" itself? And if not, can we all discuss why it's not allowed, and what exactly would be allowed (if suppose I found more source examples or even got Mr. Schooley in here miraculously for his agreement) as evidence of this intended parody, instead of me just being shut down with "that doesn't exist simply 'cus i said so" and having my work erased without any tags and no warnings given whatsoever? Lastly, i'm making an open call to any bronies, PoM fans, people who have actually worked on the amazing PoM program or anybody else to post any relevant info and/or verified proof that the show creators meant the Lunacorns (come on, it has the highly visible MLP: FIM character "Luna"'s name right in the title!!) to be a parody of MLP: FIM (hopefully, indisputable as it seems even mentioning bronies or MLP is very greatly disliked by some here, yeesh). Thank you, and take care Eshumaitreyus ( talk) 05:33, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

IT DID AIR ON CITV BUT IT ONLY SEEMENGLY AIRED ON TOONATTIK ON CITV FROM 12/04/2009 BUT WHETHER CITV AIRED THIS SHOW OUTSIDE OF TOONATTIK IS KNOWN AND WHETHER CITV CONTINUED TO RE-AIR/AIR THE SHOW AFTER TOONATTIIK ENDED IS UNCERTAIN YET IT SEEMS MORE LIKELY THAT THE SHOW WAS TAKEN OFF SCHEDULES OF CITV AFTER TOONATTIK ENDED. BUT I DON'T THINK CITV AIRED ALL THE EPISODES OF THE SHOW AND ALL THREE SERIES.
