Jim Samples resignation earlier that year over the 2007 Boston Mooninite panic. Because of this, Class of 3000 has not been seen in reruns nor transferred on Boomerang. Episodes Series overview Season 1 (2006–07) Season 2 (2007–08) Music Every episode of the show features at least one original song performed by the characters, which were written to fit the story. André 3000 listed Peanuts and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids as inspirations for the show's musical style, saying: "I watched Peanuts growing up, and the music was always strong. Vince Guaraldi, a great jazz artist, was doing all the music for Peanuts. And at the time ... Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids had music involved. So I was really looking for a vehicle to do music. I thought it’d be dope for kids to hear something different than what they hear every day. I wanted to expose them to different sounds, and instruments they might not be hearing … on the radio." While recording a song, André would lay reference tracks by saying/singing lines meant for the children characters in the show before sending it to Cartoon Network for the actors to replace.

I knew I wanted to introduce kids to certain instruments and keep it upbeat. But it was a challenge to bring my inner kid out." Regarding the show's background music, André wanted it to have an "Atlanta/southern vibe", and selected The B-52's member Pat Irwin to oversee it.
