Smurfs Unpaved

Smurfs Unpaved was a 67-episode package series containing select episodes from the first 8 seasons of The Smurfs (excluding the 'time-travelling' ninth season, due to what caused the show to get cancelled in the first place). It was shown on Nickelodeon from 1999 until 2003, and on Nicktoons from May 2002 until July 2005.
When shown on NBC, The Smurfs episodes run for 60-90 minutes in a compilation, but Nickelodeon edited each Unpaved episode to 23-25 minutes, in order to make room for their own advertisements. Unlike Smurfs' Adventures, however, these select episodes are shown for the first time with their original NBC intros and the original NBC respective closing themes in the end credits of Seasons 1-4 each.

==Trivia==
* On Smurfs Unpaved, the original H-B Swirling Star logo was plastered, muted (with the notable exception of Tis the Season to Be Smurfy, which features the final part of the end credits score) and replaced with an ending disclaimer that says, "The Smurfs were originally produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions". And the Paramount Television logo is shown after the ending disclaimer.
* The Johan and Peewit episodes have been excluded from this package, due to their ownership with 20th Century Fox Television. Hanna-Barbera Productions (later absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation) still owns the infamous ninth season of The Smurfs.
