Generally, there were 130 each year from 1969 into the early 1990s (with the odd exeption of the 1970-1971 season, which had 145 episodes; I have no idea why). At some point (early 1990s?), the more recent seasons were cut down to (I believe) 65 shows, and since then (last couple years?), they've been cut down again, to (I believe) 26 shows. But other folks around here know more about more recent seasons than I do. Also, even going back to the 1993-1994 shows which aired on Noggin, some of the episodes are just recycled shows from earlier seasons, but with some insert segments changed.

Season 31 had 65 shows.

Season 32 did have 65 shows, but not really. I think like 15 of them were repeats from Season 30.

I think Baby Bear's Birthday was a new episode made for Season 32 because it was the Season Premire, and I doubt that the season premire would be Repeat from 2 years ago. It has happened the other way around once before. The Season Premire from Season 23 was Reran sometime during Season 25. It was the one with Floyd Fluter Tooter.
