Monster Buster Club - Season 1 Episode Guide

Season 1 (2007 - 2008) Episodes

Monster Buster Club premiered on October 29, 2007 on TF1 in France, June 2, 2008 in Jetix Europe, June 9, 2008 on Disney XD in United States and May 3, 2008 on Disney Channel Asia. In France, the show premiered on weekdays mornings except Wednesdays. In United States, the show premiered it's first five episodes for it's first weekday mornings until it's schedule replaced to Monday mornings. In Asia, the show was premiered during weekend afternoons.

Here are the following lists of episodes for season one of Monster Buster Club. Mostly, I followed the episode count from U.K. schedule but then again I also have to put episode numbers for U.S. and Asia schedules. For non-cable channel networks (like in the Philippines, where I've seen MBC on Q11 which is a local channel) might follow the original broadcast order. The format of episode numbers here goes something like this:

Episode <United Kingdom and Asia episode number> / <United States and Canada episode number>

Note: The production numbers of MBC are based on US episode numbers. In France, the broadcast order sometimes switches to episode numbers.
