"101 Dalmatians - The Series" featured a total of 65 episodes in its 1997-98
season. 25 full-length episodes and 80 shorts. Because of that large
number of cartoons, I decided to use the format of Steve P. Calica's
Gummi Bears Episode Guide
for this episode guide. Below are the episodes listed in order if their
"DL number".
"The Trio" refers to Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig, while "The Main Pups" refers
to the Trio plus Spot.
52 episodes premiered in Weekday Syndication. Also, episose #53 from ABC
Saturday Morning was shown in the weekday broadcast and so is listed here.
