 * Morgan Roff was cast as Teenage Jiminy for the episode "That Still Small Voice", but his scenes were deleted during post-production. However, he can still be seen in behind the scenes photos for the episode.
 * Jiminy Cricket was originally going to appear in part one of the Season Four finale, but had to be written out due to the budget and time constraints.
