The "Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers" Episode List and Description File. by "Lucky" Steven Patrick Calica Originally Created February 16, 1991 Revision 3.0.0 June 7, 1992 All rights reserved. Notes and disclaimers: The episode list consists of four columns: the unofficial number of the episode, the title, and all of the show dates for this season. The copyright year(s) were copied directly from the credits of the show. The unofficial episode number is a number I have assigned to the episode, usually denoting when it was first shown on the Disney Afternoon. The description file is basically the episode number and a short description of the episode following it. With no more new "Rescue Rangers" episodes coming to the Disney Afternoon, I've eliminated the copyright year column. All of the episodes were either copyrighted 1989 or 1990, so episode titles preceded by plus signs '+' indicate that the copyright year is 1990. Show dates run from Sept. 9, 1991 to Sept. 4, 1992 and cover all 260 "showings" of this season. Dates in the future (6/8 - 9/4/92) are enclosed in parentheses. Note that these "predictions" are not from a schedule already etched in stone, so do be careful about how seriously you take them. In addition, I neglected to copy down titles from a couple of days so some dates are within brackets to signify which episode was most likely shown. None of the copyright years are official, nor are the titles. Show dates and numbers are based on personal observation and note-taking. The descrip- tion file is for private, non-commercial use, and entertainment purposes only; they are not supposed to be 100% accurate or consistent with the episodes' plots. Any comments regarding this file will be greatly appreciated. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ## Title of Episode Show Dates 1 + Zipper Come Home 10/30, 01/27, 05/01, (07/29) 2 + The Pied Piper Power Play 10/09, 01/06, 04/08, (07/09) 3 Weather or Not 09/19, 12/20, [03/18], (06/18) 4 When Mice Were Men [09/13], 12/12, 03/10, (06/08) 5 Puffed Rangers 09/25, 12/24, 03/23, (06/26) 6 Bearing Up Baby 09/24, 12/26, 03/24, (06/22) 7 Double-O Dale 11/22, 02/21, 05/19, (08/17) 8 A Fly in the Ointment 09/23, 12/23, 03/27, (06/24) 9 + The S.S.
