ITV has, on more than one occasion, skipped episodes or canceled airings mid-series. These are planned as the TV guides published over a week before date of transmission reflect this. This is not uncommon practice as it has also happened to {{wp|ReBoot}}, {{wp|Cardcaptor Sakura|Cardcaptors}}, {{wp|Digimon#Anime meta-series|Digimon}} and {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}.<!--This list of programs where all in the similar slots, should it be noted?--> This is not limited to children's animation, with the initial run of Season 1 of {{wp|Pushing Daisies}} being the most prominent example of a non-children's program.

Pokémon has been cancelled prematurely twice; once during the [[S02|Orange Islands]] saga on CITV and once just after [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] started on GMTV. Neither series has been seen on ITV since.
