History Trivia / BackAtTheBarnyard

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Freddy was originally to be a mongoose rather than a ferret.

* RecycledScript: "Free Schmoozy" is very similar to the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius Jimmy Neutron]]'' episode "Monster Hunt". For bonus points, Gene Grillo wrote both episodes, Creator/JimCummings voices both captains, and Rob Paulsen voices the token nerdy character.

* ThrowItIn: Right from the start of the recording sessions the voice cast was given the memo the series would be cancelled, this basically allowed them to go hog wild with the dialogue which explains its looser feel in the final product. The Dr. Pig segments themselves were entirely improvised by Pig's VA Tino Isana.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Depending on who you ask, [[Creator/CamClarke Freddy]] and [[Creator/RobPaulsen Peck]] are either [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Leonardo and Raphael]] or [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Liquid Snake and Gray Fox]].

* CreatorsApathy: According to Creator/ChrisHardwick's appearance on ''Podcast/TalkinToonsWithRobPaulsen'', after the crew got the word that the show was canceled, they basically went completely off the rails and did whatever they wanted free of consequences. At one point, the voice cast got together and started singing an impromptu song called [[RefugeInAudacity "Dick Tits"]]. When a Nickelodeon executive walked in on them, head writer Jed Spingarn simply replied, "What are you gonna do? Cancel us some more?"

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally Feddy the Farret was going to be a Mongoose.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: Nickelodeon aired this series frequently for at least two years, as did the Creator/{{Nicktoons}} channel in the early 2010s. Even to this day, it still shows up on the latter channel occasionally. This is a rarity for pre-2010 Nickelodeon shows not named ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', or ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutron'', and the series even got to air on Creator/TeenNick as part of Creator/NickRewind for a brief time in 2019.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show would regularly go on long and frequent hiatuses right from the start. Episodes would stop premiering after September 2010. Even reruns would stop for a while too, as they would air more often on Nickelodeon's sister channel, Nicktoons, even though the show was airing pretty consistently beforehand. Eventually, the show was kicked straight to Nicktoons a year later. Of course, this also led to it being burned off in just two months during a dead zone night time slot. Another thing is that the show made a comeback to the main channel shortly after its cancellation around late 2011-early 2012, only to air at 6:30 in the morning (which meant that people who either didn't have a working DVR or weren't willing enough to stay up late or sleep early were screwed) up until November 2012 where it was completely abandoned from the channel altogether.
