The Jumping Ground (season 6)

Season six of The Jumping Ground, a New Zealand-produced animated television series created by Lee Eisenhower and Conrad Vernon, began airing on FX on September 4, 2002. The sixth season concluded after 17 episodes on April 9, 2003.
This season is notable for being the only one without Rob as a main character, as he was written off in the previous season. Rob, however, plays a part in some episodes without appearing and returns near the season's conclusion.
==Production==
Near the end of season 5, Rob Broflovski was written out of the show because the creators felt that the character had very little to offer by comparison to the rest of the main protagonists at the time. The penultimate episode of Season 5, "Meridian", focuses on Rob struggling to come to terms with the end of his life impending, whilst Puff and the others put emotional matters in their own hands. The sixth season focused on Puff, Lance, and Zowie trying to replace Rob with two different individuals: Melvin Sneedly (Episodes 1-8) and Tweek Tweak (Episodes 8-13).
