1994 (1994)
When the TV breaks down, Norb and Dag try to do something fun.
One day, two beaver brothers named Norbert and Daggett Beaver are kicked out of their parents' dam after their mother Rose gives birth to their little sisters Stacy and Chelsea and are forced to find a place of their own. However, this task proves difficult due to Norbert and Daggett's constant arguing and bickering, which is mostly due to Norbert's laziness. The night after the brothers move into their new dam, Norbert and Daggett both get the idea to stay up all night just like they've always wanted. However, all throughout the course of the night the brothers get more and more sleepy and try their absolute hardest to stay up as long as they can.
After facing many problems trying to solve a flooding situation in the northwest, the government decides to hire Norbert and Daggett to dam up two rivers named The Big Happy and The Little Meanie, with Norbert being assigned the former and Daggett being assigned the latter. Little do they know, even more problems will arise when The Little Meanie actively tries messing with Daggett the entire time and preventing him from finishing the job. Norbert accidentally grows his front teeth to be long, clearly unaware of the danger of his teeth eventually impaling his brain. A fate all beavers suffer by growing their teeth, and a fate that Daggett tries to prevent Norbert from dealing with. However, Norbert ends up being praised for taking such a risk that he ends up being declared "The New Boss Rodent" by all the animals in the forest. Daggett tries ignoring his brother's popularity, but gets pushed to the edge after seeing Norbert getting lots of love and attention by his girlfriend named Treeflower, as Daggett tries to out-cool his brother by growing his teeth as well.
It's Arbor Day, the Beaver equivalent to Christmas, and Norbert and Daggett are excited for the holiday season. Norbert is blessed with a gigantic train set for his present, while Daggett gets a measly pine tree air freshener. Norbert sees this present and offers his brother a gift trade out of kindness, but Daggett declines not wanting to show off his disappointment. All throughout the day, Daggett gets more and more jealous with his brother's trainset and ultimately decides to end his fun once and for all. Daggett and Norbert watch the twenty fourth annual game of Beaver Football as Daggett immediately has his bets on The Beavers, and becomes furious after they lose to the opposing team The Visitors. Daggett eventually decides to take action and make them win himself, with Norbert joining in as the referee. Norbert, using abusive methods, eventually convinces Daggett to just relax and not take the game too seriously, but after a physical altercation with The Visitors, Norbert and Daggett change their minds and make it their goal to take them down.
Wanting to get better cereal prizes than Norb, Dag saves cereal box-tops to get a street sweeper, but takes so long that the time he obtains enough is the time the offer expires.Spawning salmon invade the beavers' lake, and Norb and Dag try to get them to go away.
Not wanting to hibernate in the winter, Dag and Norb take a vacation to the beach.Dag becomes the new ranger of the forest, but power goes to his head.
Dag's hero role playing goes too far, so Norb must act like a super-villain to defeat him.Dag is terrified when a monster fish eats the tip of his tail.

Scrapped episodes
Various episodes from the series ended up being scrapped. "A Tail of Two Rangers" / "Bye Bye Beavers" was never animated due to the latter breaking Nickelodeon's rule against "final episodes" that reference the fact that the show is ending.[39] In around 2001, an archived version YTV's website confirmed this episode, alongside two others (#064 - "Sister Pilot" and #065 - "The Angry Beavers Rock Opera," two half-hour specials).[37] Don Del Grande's episode guide denotes two other scrapped shows: another Halloween special, "The Very Loud Screams of the Night Beast" and a stand-alone segment entitled "Tree Troubles." (mistakenly listed as "Tree Flockers.")[40] The latter's script cover can be found on an archived version of Micah Wright's website.[41]
Dag and Norb become rangers.The beavers were informed that the show is ending, so they break the fourth wall, call each other by their real names, and air reruns on Nickelodeon without the voice actors getting paid, only to fool the fans.
