The season premiered with Oscar Gets An Avril Probe and ended with They Call Me Mellow, Fellow.

Production
Season 1 was shot in two months: May to June 1997. Post-production took all of July, and all 14 episodes were finished by the series premiere.

Home media
It was originally released on VHS by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on January 27, 1998, and on DVD on October 26, 1999. It is presented in 4:3 on the DVD release as few had widescreen televisions at the time.

Fabulous Films, in co-operation with Shock Entertainment and Hollywood Classics, announced that Season 1 would be released on DVD and Blu-Ray by April 2014, followed by a season each month until February 2015, when a complete box set of all 9 seasons would be released. A big part of the announcement was that the entire series would be released in it's original 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The same had been done for Malcolm In The Middle a year prior, although the St. Hopes releases were taken from the original 35mm masters.

The releases went through during their respective dates, and the final 27-disc box set was released on February 17, 2015.

The re-release's special features include:
 * A behind the scenes documentary made in 1997 about the making of the series
