  • This is the first season where Billy West voices as Ren in an episode, however, most of the episodes have Ren being voiced by the show's creator. Either they were episodes finished at Games before John's firing or they were episodes where John K. is playing another character instead of Ren.
  • This is the first season to have episodes where Ren is voiced by both John Kricfalusi and Billy West (for example: "Sven Hoek").
