"Banned" by whom? Certainly not the United States government, that would be a severe violation of the First Amendment. Disney? The article needs more about this. - furrykef (Talk at me) 15:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Banned? I know I've seen the episode (the phrase "shut down all air vectors" came to mind on 2001-09-11), and as I didn't watch the show often during its initial run I'd think it very unlikely that it was never aired again. 70.19.83.235 23:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't Tale Spin very similar to Tales of the Gold Monkey?
* The protagonist in both the series were bush pilots operating a flying boat.
* The name of the plane in TS was Seaduck, in TotGM it was Cutter's Goose.
* Their is a bar in both the TV series and in the animation which is meeting place for all the pilots of the area. The bar in both was run by a guy named Louie who was a good friend of the protagonist.
* Both were set somewhere in the first half of the century in probably the Pacific.
* In both of them there was a  big shot  (Share Khan in TS, some Japanese woman in TotGM) who was influential and powerful person whose business crossed path with the protagonists on several occasions. In both the series the big shot was both benevolent and malevolent depending on there interests.
::Came here and thought as well it's odd that the article has no mention of this similarity, especially given the timeline, TOTGM being from 1982 and well known at the time of TaleSpin's development, yet the article references weaker linked animés...Zuckerberg (talk) 17:46, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

message: On some Internet websites site 1 site 2 site 3 they refer to Rebecca's daughter Molly as Molly Elizabeth Cunningham, What I would like to find out is when was it ever established either in the TV series or through other official Disney outlets that Molly's middle name is Elizabeth? None of the other characters seem to have a middle name so why does Molly. Misterrick 20:25, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I am disturbed about the list of characters AND the episodes they appear in. They should only include this junk for the minor characters. I am also disturbed about the Hindi translations. I don't think they should be included, either. (Plainnym 01:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: You know, the coolest thing for me about this show were the planes. So what I'd really like to see on this page, is a mention of what real-life plane the Sea Duck is based on. I can't think of much myself, someone who might ?

replies: text: The Sea Duck is quite obviously a Grumman Goose. Dunno about the other planes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.58.160.130 (talk) 04:04, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The sea duck isn't based on a particular aircraft, and I doubt you'd find a proper source for it anyway. I'd say the wings and booms are taken from a C-119 and the fuselage is inspired by a PBY Catalina. --GSchjetne (talk) 10:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The article currently states that the first 27 episodes will be released in volume 1. The DVD box cover art found at IGN http://dvd.ign.com/articles/717/717945p1.html says "Includes pilot & first 23 episodes". I am changing the article to reflect this. Geofflee 03:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the Timeframe of the show really the 1930s? Some details on the show seem too modern for this time to me. 
<BR> Becky is a very self-confident bussiness-woman, which seems very unusually for this timeframe to me. Also the firm of Shere Khan seems to be very modern. I would like to read opinions to this topic. Thank you.--84.142.129.8 08:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've moved the lists of X character did not appear in the following from the trivia section to here. As it is, it's crufty and unnecessary. The only notable fact (which I did not delete) is the one about Baloo being in all 65 episodes. Wl219 11:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well "The Road to Macadamia" and "For Whom the Bell Klangs" are both likely chronologically earlier than "Plunder and Lightning", so those episodes not including Kit Rebecca and Molly actually make sense. For the episodes Molly was absent from, this was likely because her voice actress was a seven-year-old girl who had school to attend to, same for the episodes Kit was absent from, only in his case, it was Kit himself having school to attend to (I think) rather than his voice-actor. As for Rebecca, she has to stay at the headquarters, why else would she miss an event like "Mach one for the Gipper" (though she does get mentioned in some episodes she's absent from, like in "Waiders of the Wost Tweasure")? As for the pirates: technically main-villains aren't as important as main heroes: a lot of main-villains from other shows get left out of certain episodes.184.186.4.209 (talk) 05:55, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Who didn't appear in what

message: This article doesn't seem to very well specify exactly what channels TailSpin aired on. I remember being about five years old watching it during the afternoons on either ABC or CBS. This was around 1991 and I didn't have the Disney Channel, so I'm sure that wasn't it. The Disney Afternoon article doesn't explain what channels the block aired on either, so that doesn't help. Any improvements on this would be appreciated. Cale 03:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you check the article you'll see that it was syndicated.--Beaker342 04:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It might be an interesting bit of trivia to note that in the episode of Tale Spin involving a plot to create a Bermuda Triangle-like magnetic anomaly, parts of crashed planes are being collected to build what appears to be Norman Bel Geddes' Airliner #4 (the Bel Geddes craft seen here: http://home.att.net/~dannysoar/BelGeddes.htm).

message: The Characters and Episodes sections were taking over the article. I gave each their own page. Mintchocolatebear (talk) 10:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Characters and Episodes moved to their own pages 

message: Not all episodes of the 65 episode run were released in the first year.  Disney trickle released the episodes over a period of 2 and 1/2 years.  Keeping it in reruns for the last year and a half it was on the Disney Afternoon syndication block.  The last "season" had something like 10 episodes which were released weekly.  I've been finding a lot of misinformation on how cartoons are released on wikipedia, I think it has to do with people not understanding the difference between production runs/collection copyright dates and actual first airdates.  All you need to do to verify this is to order some old T.V. guides, or look up the t.v. schedule in some old newspapers.  I came here because I keep seeing people citing wikipedia on "failed t.v. show/cartoon" videos on YouTube, and it seems that wikipedia is the direct cause.  Whomever edits these sites keeps confusing airdates with production dates and copyright dates.
