Episodes
Season 1 (1984)
Season 1 is the first season of Snorks which ran thirteen episodes from September 15, 1984 ("Journey to the Source") to December 8, 1984 ("Whales Tales"). Several title cards from Season 1 were lost in syndication for some unknown reason, and quite a few of the episodes are paired with a few Season 2 episodes in Boomerang reruns. In fact, some Season 1 episodes are out of order when on the Season 1 DVD.
The first season had a narration opening starting off with a sailor narrating about a mythical legend about mysterious underwater sea creatures rescuing Spanish Navy Captain Ortega who's log is housed in a library at a Caribbean Monastery. It was used exclusively on NBC in 1984, and although it has never graced American television screens ever since, it can be found on the DVD.

Season 3 of Snorks began on September 12, 1987 on both NBC and first-run syndication with "All's Whale That Ends Whale", and ended on December 5, 1987 with "The Snorkshire Spooking".
Many changes were made this season, and have progressed well into Season 4. Dimmy disappeared from the show for unknown reasons; however, he made cameo appearances in several episodes. Corky was introduced as a main character, and Jojo also became a main character. Several new villains were introduced, such as the Great Snork Nork, Bigweed, and Lil Seaweed, the latter two going on to replace Junior as the main villain(s).
This was also the first (and only) season of Snorks to use digital ink animation. The widely known "Come Along With the Snorks" theme song was in use, and has been used in further syndication and reruns for many years to come. Finally, several casting changes were made - Barry Gordon replaced Frank Nelson as Governor Wetworth following his death, and Jim Cummings replaced the late Bob Holt as Mr. Seaworthy. Lane Raichert also took over as the head writer for the show.

Season 4 (1988–89)
Season 4 of Snorks began at different times on different television stations. On the USA Network, it began on September 10, 1988, with "Daffney's Not So Great Escape", and ended on January 14, 1989, with "My Dinner with Allstar".
In first-run syndication, Season 4 began on October 24, 1988, with the same episode, and ended on December 2, 1988, with the same episode. Dimmy still made cameo appearances throughout, and Bigweed and Lil Seaweed had bigger roles as villains. Also, every episode following "In Junior's Image" was two-part rather than one-part. The digital ink animation style was abandoned, and replaced with the older styles.
The two differences of the Season 4 animation were that the animation of the snorks themselves were different, and the animation overall was lighter than in Season 1 and Season 2. This is also the longest season on the show, with a total of 35 episodes. The "Come Along with the Snorks" theme was kept intact.
