A lot of people seem to recall that episode as the "last" episode.
And of course, once the decision was made not to make any more episodes, there was no way to "end" the ongoing storyline.īefore it came to that, there was one episode produced in which the kids dreamed they were back on Earth…but it was only a dream. When the last episode of the third (final) season was produced, no one had any idea if there would be a fourth season, so they didn't do a story that wrapped things up. A few months later, the network would look at the ratings and decide whether or not to order another season. So the last episode of each season was put into production months before the first episode of that season aired. When we were producing shows for Saturday morning, the rough schedule was to write the entire season from February through about June…then those episodes would begin airing in September. As you probably know, it takes a long lead time to do animation. The show was in production for three seasons. Some fine writers grabbed the baton and made the show into a modest hit, and one that still has many fans. I wrote the pilot and one other episode, then went on to other things. The show, just to remind you, was about a band of kids who were stranded in a mystical land, forced to battle dragons and stay out of dungeons, and to elude the insidious master villain, Venger. Not really…and as the person who developed the show for television, you'd be amazed how often I am asked this. On the Saturday morning cartoon show, Dungeons and Dragons, wasn't there a "last" episode in which the kids got home?
