Episodes
Pilot (1982)
There is an unaired pilot episode of Snorks for NBC in 1982, which was not really well-known due to its total non-transmission to the public. Clips from it can be seen in a promotional spot they had for the Saturday Morning kids' block with Alvin and the Chipmunks singing, plus clips from various shows, including Snorks itself. This pilot featured two unknown Snorks (most likely background characters) that did not apparently make it into the show.

Season 1 (1984)
Season 1 ran thirteen episodes from September 15 ("Journey to the Source") to December 15, 1984 ("Whales Tales"). Several title cards were lost in syndication for unknown reasons and a few episodes are paired with a few Season 2 episodes in reruns on Boomerang. Some episodes are also out of order on the DVD. The first season had an opening narration starting off with a sailor narrating about a mythical legend about mysterious underwater sea creatures rescuing Spanish Navy Captain Ortega whose log is housed in a library at a Caribbean monastery. It was used exclusively on NBC and worldwide broadcasters in 1984 and although it has never aired on American television ever since, it can be found on the DVD.

Season 3 of Snorks aired from September 12 ("All's Whale That Ends Whale") to December 5, 1987 ("The Snorkshire Spooking") on the syndicated The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. Many changes were made this season and progressed well into Season 4. Dimmy disappeared for unknown reasons; however, he made cameo appearances in several episodes. Corky was introduced as a main character and Jo-Jo 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 and paint animation. The widely known theme song "Come Along With the Snorks" was used and has been for many years. Finally, several casting changes were made - Alan Oppenheimer replaced Frank Nelson as the voice of Governor Wetworth following his death and also replaced Bob Holt as the voice of Mr. Seaworthy, who also died. Lane Raichert also became head writer.

Season 4 (1988–1989)
Season 4, the final season of Snorks, aired in weekday syndication. It aired from September 12 ("Daffney's Not So Great Escape") to March 15, 1989 ("My Dinner with Allstar") . Dimmy made more cameo appearances throughout, and Bigweed and Lil' Seaweed had bigger roles as villains. Every episode following "In Junior's Image" was a two-parter. The digital ink and paint animation style was abandoned and replaced with older styles. The two differences of the fourth season's animation were that the movements of the Snorks themselves were different, and the quality overall was lighter than in the first and second seasons. It is also the longest season on the series, with a total of 36 episodes. The theme song "Come Along with the Snorks" was kept intact.
