A total of 16 episodes of "The Skatebirds" were produced in its original run from September 10, 1977 to January 21, 1978. In the fall of 1979, the show returned to CBS in a shortened half-hour version with "Wonder Wheels" and "Mystery Island" segments ("The Robonic Stooges" and "Woofer & Whimper, Dog Detectives" segments had been spun off into a separate half-hour) and broadcast on Sunday mornings from September 9, 1979 until January 25, 1981. In the late 1980s, a different syndicated half-hour version of "The Skatebirds" with "The Robonic Stooges" and "Wonder Wheels" segments was shown on USA Cartoon Express and later resurfaced on Cartoon Network in the 1990s and Boomerang in the 2000s.
