Author's Notes
I am very likely to add more haiku to each story every time I add a new season of "D.W. and Brain Haiku" because many similarities between D.W. and Brain are seasons apart.
These haiku are arranged in chronological order. You may notice that I use a lot of the same endings over and over. The haiku that end with "Hints of The Beaver" and "Hints of June Cleaver" mean that they are possible allusions to Leave It to Beaver, the haiku that end with "Hints of Maxwell Smart" and "Hints of Larabee" mean that they are possible allusions to Get Smart, and the haiku that end with "Hints of Michelle T" and "Hints of Joey G" mean that they are possible allusions to Full House (Michelle Tanner and Joey Gladstone). Apparently it's television tradition for pairs of characters who have a lot in common to have a lot in common with other pairs of characters who have a lot in common. Did you get that?

Author's Notes
I'm surprised that I thought up this many haiku for season 3. I'm especially surprised that I had more sitcom-themed haiku than "Like D.W." and "Like Alan Powers" haiku. That may change in the future.
Haiku 4,17, 21, and 29 are almost identical. I think that season 3 had more episodes that referred to D.W.'s snowball than any other season. I decided to change the endings from "Hints of Larabee" to "(Max and Larabee)" because the allusion appears to be twofold. Max making strong accusations against Larabee, and Larabee covering the floors of his apartment with sand. Read the "Return of the Snowball" haiku that allude to the same Get Smart characters and episodes in "D.W. and Brain Haiku Season 7."
