Go To

  • Acting for Two:
  • Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: There are some people out there who are convinced the show was from Teletoon when in fact it was created by Nerd Corps Entertainment for YTV. This might be due to the fact that it was brought over stateside to Cartoon Network in the late 2000s alongside several Teletoon series, being the only YTV show shown on that channel (asides from Storm Hawks, another Nerd Corps cartoon) until the early 2010s brought in a few more shows.
  • He Also Did: Series creators Peter Ricq and Philippe Ivanusic-Vallee later jumped ship from Vancouver to Toronto, producing Oh No! It's An Alien Invasion with Nelvana and then the 2D-animated Freaktown with Portfolio Entertainment.
  • Invisible Advertising: The least promoted of Cartoon Network's Canadian imports during the late 2000s.
  • Playing Against Type: Lee Tockar must be playing The Ditz right? Nope, this time he is playing The Smart Guy Doktor Frogg, albeit still a Butt-Monkey.
  • Screwed by the Network: After airing most of Season 1 in a decent Monday night time slot, Cartoon Network took LOSE off the air. New episodes didn’t return until February 2010 at inconsistent time slots, before the show was entirely burned off in October 2010 by airing it at 2:30pm, leaving Seasons 2 and 3 unaired.
  • Short Run in Peru:
    • Only the first season was broadcast in USA.
    • CBBC in Britain got the third season before Canada did.
  • What Could Have Been: Peter Ricq's series pitch bible reveals quite a lot of early ideas about the characters.
    • Voltar was originally "The Great Voltar". His costume was black and yellow, with far larger antennae and no pupils.
    • Doktor Frogg began as Doctor Surgeon Klown Frogg. Originally envisioned as a now-disgraced, washed-up evil genius, he wore a steel jaw instead of goggles and dressed in a stereotypical surgeon outfit.
    • Red Menace was originally an ex-Soviet supervillain who juggled his time between working for the League and taking care of a wife and kids. His costume had a red fur coat and a fur hat with the Red Star on it.
    • Doomageddon's prototype was Armageddon, an astonishingly dimwitted, childlike supervillain resembling a scrawny man in a cheaply made costume and with a hood that permanently concealed his head.
    • The Pitch Bible also reveals many scrapped and early villain concepts, including early versions of Skullossus and Justice Gene (here envisioned as a disgraced, self-deluded superhero), as well as such unused characters as Soul Taker, Bionica, Commander Scourge, Marketor, Frostbite, Kaiser Von Katphish, Preda-Fett, The Lady Bug, Patches & Stitch, and Necromon. Also featured is an early version of Glory Guy called Freedom Man.
  • Working Title: The series was originally just known as The League of Evil.
