Fun Facts[]
Trivia[]
- On airings of older episodes of VeggieTales (except for The Toy That Saved Christmas, Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen, The Star of Christmas, The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment!, An Easter Carol and Saint Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving), the 2010-2013 intro plasters the original theme song. However, it doesn't shown the 2014 intro.
- On airings of certain VeggieTales episodes, some scenes and/or the Silly Songs are often truncated and/or removed for time.
- Lord of the Beans is the only episode not to be aired on this channel or Smile, as a result of the legal troubles Big Idea faced when the episode was released.
- TBN has been trying to buy VeggieTales for nearly a decade.
- Despite being a movie, TV listings of Saturday morning showings of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie on TBN list it as a regular episode named Jonah.
- Upon the closure of Smile in 2025, the network dropped all of the direct-to-video episodes of the show (save for the Easter and Christmas ones) and the Jonah movie, and now only airs episodes of The VeggieTales Show. The direct-to-video episodes were later moved to TBN Inspire.
