• Only So Many Canadian Actors: Features a lot of names associated with this trope in Canadian voice acting, such as Stacey DePass, Andrew Sabiston, and Peter Cugno.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The series actually came about because of this. Brad Peyton had been given an opportunity to adapt his Black Comedy short film Evelyn: The Cutest Evil Dead Girl into a feature-length movie, but chose to turn it down and created What It's Like Being Alone instead.
  • The show and its characters in turn were originally created as a series of drawings he made to entertain a depressed friend, who loved them so much she suggested Peyton should make a book based on them. Peyton instead decided to explore the idea of a full TV series based on the characters.
• Working Title: The Orphanage
• Written by Cast Member: Dwayne Hill, voice of Princess Lucy, also wrote a few episodes for the show, as did Adam Reid, the voice of Armie.
