  • Acting for Two:
    • John DiMaggio as General Julius Steel and Ilana's father, the King of Galaluna. He keeps popping up as extras all over the place, along with Tara Strong. Of course, with their wide ranges and main character positions, this isn't really too surprising.
    • Kari Wahlgren voices Kimmy and her two friends, Monica and Amber.
  • Creative Differences: According to Genndy, a major factor in the network's lack of support was a shift in management during his time away, meaning that he wasn't working for the people whose trust he'd earned in the first ten years of his career. The whole exhaustive experience also caused the crew to simply lose interest.
  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Vanessa Marshall as Xeexi, if it really is male.
  • Executive Meddling: Of the "switch its time slot a lot" variety.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: It's highly unlikely the series will receive a DVD/Blu-ray release in America any time soon due to Warner Bros. writing off the show. However, it is still available on iTunes for digital purchase and was formerly on Netflix. The complete first season was released on DVD by Australian distributor Madman Entertainment, but very few copies are out there, often selling secondhand for over $100.
  • No Export for You: Was only released in both America and Australia. It's currently unavailable to purchase everywhere else.
  • The Other Darrin:
    • Kimmy is voiced by Cassie Scerbo in her first appearance in "Showdown at Sherman High", and then by Kari Wahlgren for the rest of the series. Both of them, interestingly enough, voice characters in Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja.
    • Young Lance is also voiced by different child actors in "Shaman of Fear" and "Shadows of Youth", although it could be that he's at a different age.
  • Playing Against Type: Vanessa Marshall as Xeexi.
  • Recycled Script: The "Tashy 497" episode was a recycle of a The Powerpuff Girls episode, with Ilana as Bubbles and Lance as Buttercup.
  • Screwed by the Network: When the creators balked at the idea of licensing the series for toy manufacturing (an unfortunate side-effect of an economic recession), the network swiftly canceled the series halfway through its run. They then abruptly changed the time slot from Wednesday night to Saturday morning, ensuring that it could die quietly without its fans knowing the truth and clamoring for its return, and eventually wrote the show off for tax exemption (the same thing which happened to Megas XLR, removing any possibilities of reruns). The experience left the crew apathetic, and they all drifted from Cartoon Network to work on new projects.
  • Sending Stuff to Save the Show: Letters, fan art, purple shirts...
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Genndy Tartakovsky said he wanted to do episodes featuring more of Lance's father and a musical episode with Ilana to show off Tara Strong's singing ability.
    • According to a 2018 interview with Syfy, Tartakovsky and his crew wrote 10 more episodes of the show before it was ultimately cancelled.
