Alfred J. Kwak production episode list
The original production episode list is a list of episode names based on the character height charts from the Character- and Color-Designs for Alfred J. Kwak book. This book featured character designs by Harald Siepermann and Hans Bacher based on all the episode outlines written by Herman van Veen and was presented to TV Tokyo. The production team reviewed the episode outlines and concluded that several things needed to be shifted, specifically some longer arcs needed to be shortened, which called for extra episodes to be written to fill in the gaps.
The production team likely asked for changes based on how well they perceived the pacing of the episodes was going to be. A good example of this is the first episode. The episode outline would cover events all the way up to Alfred Jodocus KWak and Henk reaching Waterland and Henk's grandfather's mine house. Episodes 2 and 3 would be the self-contained two-parter about Alfred's birthday, the visit to the King's castle up to and including the trial.
Specifically one episode was cut whole-sale, namely episode 7, ***De Trip*** (lit. "The Trip"), as it centered on smoking and recreational drug use. This was likely deemed improper subject material for a children's cartoon.
