Production notes
Sneak peek of this seiries aired on Kids WB on Saturday, May 3, 2003.
The H.I.V.E. stands for the Heirarchy of International Vengence and Extermination. Also, the H.I.V.E. was a group for criminal scientists. The second incarnation had a different Headmistress. Vestiges of the H.I.V.E remained and some of the same scientist formerly involved with the H.I.V.E. became members of The Wildebeest Society.
This is a Team episode.
This is really supposed the third episode of the series.
The coat of arms says H.A.E.Y.P. That stands for HIVE Academy for Extraordinary Young People, as the Headmistress states in the intro.
Villain: Mammoth, Jinx, Gizmo, Slade.
This episode through to "Forces of Nature" are recorded from The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure.
Slade has a butler in this episode, who in the comics is called Wintergreen.
Sam Register is the main reason why Puffy AmiYumi performs the show's theme, describing himself as a full-on Puffy fan. This is also why Puffy AmiYumi have their own show now.

Reviews
Final Exam
They live in a 'T'. They go through the city in costume without anyone batting an eye. And they battle three supervillains, while in public. This episode is completely devoid of plot or explaination of how the Teen Titans formed.
The episode starts with three supervillains showing their stuff for the 'main' villain, Slade. Then the episode cuts to Titan's tower were Cyborg (completely unoriginal name) was looking, for all things, the remote for the TV, which he claim Beast Boy (which is an improvement over Changeling, but not by much) lost. Raven had a very bad starting voice. The scene ends when Starfire (the alien girl who, like most aliens, look like a human but only her eyes are shaded green and she has a deep tan) blows up way outdated food and Robin (the former sidekick turned leader) suggested they go out for pizza.
What follows is a lame battle, in which the only one with a clue, Robin, is defeated. When the Titans return home, the villains follow and kick their spandex wearing butts out. Appearantly, they are clueless without Robin. The episode ends with the Titans reclaiming their lame tower, learning about Slade, and Robin saying he's proud to be part of the team.
Honestly, this isn't the worst episode, but it's fair from the best.
Final Exam
When Teen Titans 1st came on,I thought it would stick worse then Justice League,but since I was bored I watched it anyway.As it turned out,I loved it!The fight scenes were top notch,the charecters were funny,and the anime effects were hillarious!Consider me a titans fan all the way.
P.S=Beast Boy rocks,Starfire is hoooooooot,Raven is scary yet cool,Cyborg isn't too bad,Robin SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Final Exam
While this episode was good.I mean five superheroes just running around town and not being noticed?????????????It had some quite hilarious dialouge and it also was pretty funny to see the "Furry Food".This episode is good but still it's nothing to praise over.I mean it got utterly annoying how Starfire was all worried about robin but there were some good battle scenes.It didn't really have a plot though.I mean all they pretty much did was run around and fight the HIVE gang.Overall this episode is so rediculous that it's engaging.Overall "Final Exam" is an OK pilot on what's gonna be a great series.It also showed how Starfire cared about Robin and that she had quite a crush on him.
