. A total of six seasons of the series have been released: five seasons on the internet, and one season on television. In 1999, the crew began the series with a pilot episode, named "Banjo Frenzy", which featured a blue dinosaur, a sky blue squirrel, a yellow rabbit, and a purple beaver. The first official episode was named "Spin Fun Knowin' Ya!" which, although it was produced in 1999, was uploaded to the Mondo Media website sometime in 2000 and featured later versions of the dinosaur (now a moose), rabbit, squirrel, and beaver. From that point on, the writers began introducing new characters to the show. It quickly became an internet phenomenon featuring millions of visits per episode.

The writers confirmed that they were playing a joke on the fact that the characters die in the show multiple times, and making a pun phrase with the word "dead". The hiatus ended on December 8, 2011, with the episode "Clause for Concern" being released. In addition to the show's five seasons and a spin-off, there have been some special episodes and shorts. These include eleven "Smoochies", ten "Kringles", thirteen "Break" shorts, five "Love Bites", and sixteen other irregular episodes that are unindexed. The "Smoochie" shorts involve three different items being dropped next to a main character, only for them to be killed in three different ways, each regarding the item. These have been adapted into the ''Happy Tree Friends'' website where one can choose an item to drop. The "Kringle" shorts are
