List of I Am Weasel episodes

(Redirected from I.R. Gentlemans)

I Am Weasel is an American animated television series created for Cartoon Network by David Feiss, who directed all the episodes[1] with the co-directions of Robin Steele[a][1] and Robert Alvarez.[b][1] The series follows the adventures of I.M. Weasel (voiced by Michael Dorn), a charismatic, genius, anthropomorphic weasel who is given great status in the world; and I.R. Baboon (voiced by Charlie Adler), a dimwitted, envious, and easily provoked baboon who constantly tries to outdo Weasel in his escapades.

David Feiss created I Am Weasel for Cartoon Network as a spin-off of Cow and Chicken. The spin-off first appeared on Cow and Chicken episodes in 1997, and a full half-hour series ran from 1999 to 2000.

The first four seasons were originally produced as segments featured on Feiss' other animated television series Cow and Chicken. Beginning in 1999, the segments were separated into a full series, which was joined by a fifth season. Overall the series includes 79 episodes.

Official airdates of seasons 3 to 5 are mostly unknown, including the last airdate. Only production dates for the episodes are entirely known.
