* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** One episode would have originally been about Jokey doing jokes on people, so Papa Smurf and a few others would "alter" the box so that they wouldn't explode. Jokey falls into a state of depression, but then learns what happened to it, so he uses magical explosive powder to create 100 mini- Jokeys. Parts of the episode were reworked into the episode "Joke's On You".
** Some pre-pictures of the series noticeablely feature some minor changes. Examples include bigger eyes and a thicker art style.
** Smurfette's personality was originally different. As the pitch bible says, "Smurfette is also a little scattered, always trying the newest thing, then losing interest as she moves onto something else, leaving a trail of unfinished projects behind her."
