No. The original contract called for only 52 episodes, and when that finished, the producers went on to other things. The closest they've come to a new episode since then was when Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina made a "guest appearance" in the Rugrats story "Ghost Story".
Only if you get the Nicktoons channel - and even then, some episodes are not shown. (See the episode list for details.)
Each episode is identified by a three digit number indicating which season it was in and where it appeared in
that season; for example, 110 is the tenth episode in the first season.
The text following the episode number is what The Gromble says at the beginning of the episode (when he comes up
through the floor and Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm fall backwards).
Below each episode's ID is the title of each story (some first season episodes had just one (long) story) and a
short description of the plot. Some episode titles may look funny, but they are taken directly from the show (although
they have been changed from all capital letters); for example, "Snorched if you Do Snorched if you Don't"
is not supposed to have a comma in it.
Guest Cast listings are in alphabetical order except that "famous" people are usually listed first (for example, Michael Dorn, better known as Worf from the Star Trek movies and TV series, in episodes 112 and 308; keep in mind that people I consider famous and people you consider famous may be two different things - for example, the cast of episode 112 includes David Rasche, star of the TV series Sledge Hammer!, which ran from 1986 to 1988) and do not include these regulars:
Also, because of the typeface used in the credits and the fact that VCRs do not maintain all of the resolution of the original TV signal, some of the names may be slightly incorrect; for example, "A" and "N" look alike (for quite a while, this list had "Billy Vern" (instead of Billy Vera) as Slickis), as do "I" and "K".
Monsters Get Real / Snorched If You Do, Snorched If You Don't
On his first human-scaring assignment, Ickis leaves his monster manual behind, and Krumm and Oblina race to retrieve
it before Ickis gets Snorched
Note that although there are two titles, this is one story that lasted the entire episode; part one was called
"Monsters Get Real" and part two was called "Snorched if you Do Snorched if you Don't"
This episode is probably aired only around Halloween

Andras (A. Rex) Wahorn is one of the show's design/background artists (as well as one of Klasky-Csupo's resident web page designers), and there are quite a few references to "Wahorn":
Looks like Bradley J. Gake has also gotten into the act:
And while I'm at it...
I have been told that the artists tend to use others' names, rather than their own
Monsters Get Real (101)
The Gromble has white claws.
(Also, this story was used for the original pilot, in the same way the Hey Arnold! pilot was remade as
"24 Hours to Live". On the other hand, the pilots for Klasky-Csupo's other two Nicktoons, Rugrats
and The Wild Thornberrys were not remade.)
Snorched if you Do, Snorched if you Don't (101)
The Gromble's gloves are blue - except when his entire body turns blue, during which his gloves are black.
Curse of the Krumm (103)
How did "the curse of the Krumm" get its name? Krumm's father suffers from it, but his name is Horvak;
if "krumm" is a type of monster, why is it Krumm's name? (Maybe it refers to "The Krumm" (like
"The Gromble" and "The Shroink") and Krumm is named after him?)
Krumm also uses his name to refer to his entire family line in "Bad Hair Day" (304).
Old Monster (107)
At the end of "Old Monster", The Gromble wonders what would have happened if he had black shoes -
but his shoes are black in "Monsters Get Real" (101).
Also, in the flashback, The Gromble appears to have fewer toes on each foot than he does now.

the closing credits.

manage to shrink.
When he's in the garbage truck, Simon starts biting his right foot, but in the close-up, it becomes his left foot -
and it suddenly goes from five toes to four (but unlike "Simon's Big Score" (301), most of the time he
has five toes on each foot). Also, somewhere along the ride to the hospital, Simon finds his slippers.
Into the Woods (203)
When Snorch takes Krumm and Oblina away (so they can't help Ickis), Zimbo has a bright red head as if he's been
out in the sun too long.
When The Gromble talks about humans finding safety in numbers, his hands grow a fifth, and then a sixth, finger,
then they go back to five, and then four.
Krumm Gets the Dreaded Nolox (203)
There is a word "hiccough", but it's pronounced like "hiccup", not "hick-cough" like
the monsters do it
When Oblina wraps herself around Krumm, she says that's the method her mother used - but in "Lifestyles
of the Rich and Scary" (310), Oblina's mother is clearly incapable of wrapping herself around anything (Oblina
gets her "stick figure" from her father)
Mayberry U.F.O. (204)
In the first scene, the clouds cover the moon, but suddenly the moon appears below the clouds.
I Dream of Snorch with the Long Golden Hair (204)
Snorch doesn't have nostrils in any other stories.
Garbage Ahoy (205)
If Oblina can't swim, then how did she save Ickis in "Cold Hard Toenails"? (110) The answer appears
to be that Oblina (and Krumm) can swim, since all three monsters swim away when the octopus lets them
go.
The Monster Who Came In From The Cold (206)
Most of the kids Oblina meets have four fingers on each hand.
Also, Oblina had no problem with cotton candy in "Curse of the Krumm" (103).
Puppy Ciao (206)
In the song in "Puppy Ciao", Krumm says "Monsters and dogs rule" - but "dog"
is not in the monster's vocabulary; they call them "bark and bites".
"Dogs" also appears as an entry in "The Big Book of Emergencies" in "Ship of Fools"
(309), as well as a number of first-season episodes.
Rosh O'Monster/Tree of Ickis (209)
History of the Monster World/Fear Thy Name Is Ickis (210)
Quest for the Holy Pail/Garbage In Garbage Out (211)
A Room With No Viewfinder/Krumm Rises To The Top (212)
These episodes are copyright dated 1996, but episode 213 is dated 1995 (this might be because episodes are usually
shown in the order in which they are finished, which is usually the order in which they return from Anivision studios
in Korea, but the copyright date might be based on something else).
Rosh O'Monster (209)
In "Rosh O'Monster", they have to polish "all" 451 of The Gromble's shoes - but why would
The Gromble have an odd number of shoes?
Also, when the story begins, the moon is full, but when the singers are running away from the theater, it's a crescent
moon, which only happens about 1-2 weeks before a full moon.
Tree of Ickis (209)
When Ickis grows a trunk, he suddenly has five claws on each hand instead of four, but the extra claws don't appear
in some later scenes.
History of the Monster World (210)
Slickis is a student when The Gromble started teaching in the 18th Century, but in "Chip Off the Old Beast"
(111), Slickis says he graduated in the 16th Century.
And how could The Gromble be teaching in the 18th Century if he was one of the Shroink's students (in "Old
Monster" (107)) in the early 20th Century?
(Also note that The Gromble was wearing shoes in the 16th Century, yet later flashbacks show him without shoes.)
Fear Thy Name is Ickis (210)
Just before Vincent turns to face Ickis, Ickis' shadow has five fingers on each claw. Ickis also has five
fingers on each claw when he's sitting in the Viewfinder.
Quest for the Holy Pail (211)
The monster at the top of the mountain usually has five claws on each hand, but occasionally one hand or the other
only has four.
Also, in the first classroom scene after Ickis leaves, there's a scene where Ickis is still there.
Near the end, when The Gromble says "Ickis can sleep", his left arm and the pointer he was holding vanish.
A Room With No Viewfinder (212)
The Viewfinder doesn't have arms - like it does in "Monsters Get Real", "Into the Woods", and
"Rosh O'Monster".
Krumm Rises to the Top (212)
When the clown brings in his new helium tank, you can see his original one (which Krumm swallowed).
The Five Faces of Ickis (213)
The graffiti originally says "The Gromble Eatz Fresh Produce", but the last word becomes "Fruit"
at the end.
Also, when Krumm hugs Oblina at the end of the game, his teeth are green.
Not only that, but at the end, Zimbo has a bright red head (like in "Into The Woods" (203)).
Simon's Big Score (301)
Simon has five fingers on each hand, but only four toes on each foot.
Also, in this story, Krumm says "he's taking pictures", but in "Monsters Are Real" (202), the
monsters call having their picture taken "being flashed".
Krumm Gets Ahead (302)
In "Krumm Gets Ahead", Ickis and Oblina are afraid of being crushed, but monsters have been crushed flat
before (Krumm in "Krumm Gets the Dreaded Nolox" (203), for example) without any problem.
A Room With No Viewfinder/Krumm Rises To The Top (212)
Monster Blues / I Hear the Snorch Call My Name (303)
Gregg Berger is credited as the voice of the viewfinder in 303 but not in the 212, yet the viewfinder
speaks in 212 but not in 303.
Bad Hair Day (304)
Krumm says that his pit hair takes 17 years to grow back, but in "Eau de Krumm" (208), it grows right
back after the monster doctor removes some
Who'll Stop the Brain? (305)
The Viewfinder has arms in this story, but not in most others.
Cement Heads (305)
The Gromble looks like his modern self in the flashback, but it takes place before other flashbacks where he looks
different.
Baby, It's You (307)
In "Baby, It's You", if you listen to the hospital speaker system, you can hear "Dr. Howard, Dr.
Fine, Dr. Howard" being paged; this is a reference to an "episode" of "The Three Stooges"
in which they were doctors at a hospital.
Less Talk More Monsters (308)
The credits for episode 308 include Michael Dorn as Borl and "chauffer" - that's supposed to be
"chauffeur".
Also, when Krumm eats the money, he says "I hate roughage", but he seems to like it in "Cold Hard
Toenails" (110).
Ship of Fools (309)
When Oblina is looking through the books on the bookshelf, her arms (and legs) switch colors; they switch back
when she starts falling
Blib's eyes switch between his "old" and "new" ones (see "Fistful of Toenails" (311)).
Just after Oblina, Sloop, Blib, Borl, and Urbab are flung into the water by the wooden plank, Ickis's ears are
missing
Eye Full of Wander (310)
Beast With Four Eyes (409)
Krumm doesn't seem to be afraid of heights like he was in "Krumm Gets the Dreaded Nolox" (203) or "Rosh
O'Monster" (209).
Lifestyles of the Rich and Scary (310)
Who's the monster who looks like Oblina sitting next to Slickis and Horvak when The Gromble teaches his first class
in "History of the Monster World" (210)? She looks nothing like either of Oblina's parents as seen in
"Lifestyles of the Rich and Scary".
Speaking of Oblina's parents, how come they've never met Ickis and Krumm before "Lifestyles of the Rich and
Scary", especially since there's a photo of Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina in Cairo from over 50 years ago (in,
for example, "Monsters Get Real" (101))?
Fistful of Toenails (311)
Blib's eyes were solid black, but they're "normal" (like, say, Ickis' eyes) in this story. (The
rest of his third season appearances use his old eyes, but his fourth season appearances use his new eyes - and
a different skin color.)
Blind Love, Monster Love (311)
In "Blind Love, Monster Love", Ickis is taking a bath - but according to "The Ickis Box"
(113), monsters don't like soap.
Wake Me When It's Over (313)
Ickis' problems are caused by wrapped chocolates, but Krumm has no problems eating plastic-wrapped chocolates in
"The Switching Hour" (102).
Oblina Without a Cause (401)
The first book Oblina is reading is "Be Fonzie Cool!"
Slick Ick (401)
In the first three seasons, Blib was green, but now he's blue (and he still has his "new" eyes like in
"Fistful of Toenails" (311)).
Battle of the Century (403)
When The Gromble activates his "Anti-Toilet Resistance System", his ear hairs are the same color as his
skin.
A Perfect World (403)
When Oblina is crying, near the end of the scene, watch her lips closely; for about one-tenth of a second, they
disappear.
Escape Claws (404)
The restaurant is called "Le Langesta Ristorante", which is presumably French (based on the waiter's
accent), but the name is a combination of French ("le" - in Italian, "le" is a plural pronoun),
Spanish (my Spanish dictionary says "langosta" means "lobster"), and Italian ("ristorante")
Also, during the sludge fight, Ickis is chasing one of the lobsters, but all six of them are shown in his room.
The Lips Have It (404)
When Oblina removes her lips, there's no "hole" in the body where her lips where - so how, for example,
would food (er, garbage) that goes into her mouth enter her body?
A Friend Indeed (405)
Ickis says he's never ridden inside a car before, but he did in "A Room With No Viewfinder" (212) and
"Walk Like A Man" (405).
Also, the monsters claim that it's too hard to scare someone in a mall - but what about "Gone Shopp'n"
(106), or when Oblina claims that it's too easy in "The Rival" (207)?
Watch the Watch (406)
When Oblina says "I knew I should have kept an eye on that monster", Nigel Cretin (from "Eye Full
of Wander" (310)) is in the background.
Loch Ness Mess (407)
Before the Loch Ness Monster knocks the Viewfinder over, the Viewfinder does not have arms, but it does after it
hits the floor.
Hooked on Phobics (410)
Obviously, the title is a play on "Hooked on Phonics", but the closest anyone comes to using the word
"phobics" is when The Gromble says "phobic scares are not monstrous"..
And Ickis is allowed "to scare wherever and however he wants" - it says so in the Monster Manual, according
to "Ickis and the Red Zimbo" (306).
Spy vs. Monster (411)
When Ickis tries to dial 1-800-SPY-NOW, he actually dials 1802*8.
Gromble Soup (412)
Cupcakes contain sugar (the frosting is almost entirely sugar), but nobody seems to be affected by the sugar the
way Oblina was in "The Monster Who Came In From The Cold" (206).
Laugh Krumm Laugh (413)
The signs say "Scare-A-Thon", but the judge calls it "Scaring Olympics" (and technically, you're
not allowed to use the word "Olympics" in an event in the USA without the permission of the United States
Olympic Committee (a few years ago, there was something called the "Reading Olympics" that learned that
lesson the hard way), but even if anybody (besides Simon) knew that monsters existed, who's going to tell the monsters
that?)
Rookie Monsters (413)
It's strange that the last story contradicts the first one, but the flashback has Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm meeting
for the first time in the Academy, but in "Monsters Get Real" (101), there's a picture of them in Cairo
from 1928.
