The series was adapted by Charles Shows and was then translated into French by Greg, the editor of Tintin magazine.

[edit] Comparisons with the books
This series varied widely from the original books, often changing whole plots. For instance, in the book Explorers on the Moon, Tintin goes to the moon for scientific exploration, but in the episodes of Objective Moon Espionage, he goes to rescue the trapped Snowy. Most tintinologists prefer the later television series The Adventures of Tintin as it is truer to the original books.
[edit] Broadcasts and releases
- This series has aired in repeats on non-network syndication in the United States from 1963 to 1971. Several video releases were made, in both English and French. No DVD set has been released, though The Calculus Case was released on DVD as a full length film.
