Other shorts

Nickelodeon showed the first three Crimson Chin webisodes compiled with all of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts as well with "Where's the Wand?". When the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts were rerun, Mary Kay Bergman's Timmy voice was redubbed by Tara Strong (out of respect for Mary Kay Bergman, who had committed suicide prior to the show being greenlit and so as not to confuse viewers who were used to hearing Tara Strong as Timmy Turner). However, these shorts have stopped airing after the television special US premiere of The Big Superhero Wish in February 2004. The original shorts with Mary Kay Bergman as Timmy Turner are available on DVD release.
