List of TaleSpin episodes

The following is an episode list for the Disney animated television series TaleSpin . The majority of the series and storylines are stand-alones and bear little significance in the order they are aired. The only recurrent themes are Baloo's drive to save money in order to repurchase his plane (the Sea Duck) and Rebecca's desire to make a profitable living. As with many animated series of the time, there was no formal conclusion to the series. A comic ran for a short period and was then discontinued as well.

Select episodes were first aired on The Disney Channel in the spring of 1990, as a preview for the series; these episodes' Disney Channel airdates are given separately.

Meanwhile, Colonel Spigot is instructed to fly a plane but does not know how, and Baloo offers to teach him if he will complete the delivery for him.

The only other time it aired was in 1999 on Toon Disney, which was most likely a mistake.
