History Trivia / Gargoyles

* HypotheticalCasting: While casting Hudson, his bio included a reference to Lou Grant's famous "I hate spunk!" line from ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'', meaning they were looking to get an Creator/EdAsner type. they were able to get Asner himself for the part.

* TheWikiRule: Two wikis: [[http://gargoyles.wikia.com/wiki/Gargoyles_Wiki Grimorum]] on Wikia and [[http://gargwiki.net/Main_Page GargWiki]].

* ViewersAreGeniuses: One anecdote from Greg Weisman's blog really shows the quality of audience this show garners. At a panel at one of the Gargoyles Gatherings, he was describing [[BelligerentSexualTension the sort of relationship]] he was envisioning for Brooklyn and Katana in Timedancer. He initially cited [[{{Series/Cheers}} Sam and Diane]]. Nobody got it. Then he mentioned [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Benedick and Beatrice]]. The whole audience cracked up.

** It's never outright confirmed, but ''very'' strongly suggested, [[spoiler:thanks to being voiced by Keith David and the use of the ''Gargoyles'' theme song when he goes OneWingedAngel]], that Manny from ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'' is that universe's version of Goliath.

** After a song from another Weisman/Disney series, ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'', was played on a boombox in the first issue of the ''ComicBook/BadGuys'' comic, Weisman clarified that ''W.I.T.C.H.'' was fictional in the ''Gargoyles''-verse (which means that it was apparently produced in the mid-90s in-universe instead of the mid-2000s as in real life).

* PromotedFanboy: Karine Charlesbois was a huge fan of the series and well known in the fandom. She was a staff member of [[FanConvention the Gathering]] and later became a pencil artist for the SLG Gargoyles' ''Bash'' and ''ComicBook/BadGuys''.

** Creator/JohnRhysDavies voices both (adult) Macbeth and Findlaech. He averts TalkingToHimself, though, since Findlaech doesn't exist in the same time period as adult Macbeth. (He was killed in 1020, and adult Macbeth is first seen in 1032.)

** ''Gargoyles'' is one of the only Disney properties never to make an appearance in any kind of crossover media. ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', ''VideoGame/DisneyInfinity'', ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'', and so on. Save [[Main/WhatCouldHaveBeen almost appearing]] in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII the third installment]] of the former, the show's almost never been considered for crossovers.

* NamesTheSame:
** Some viewers may snicker at the terrifying deep voiced cyborg gargoyle when they learn he shares his name with a popular [[https://www.coldstonecreamery.com/ ice cream franchise.]]
** Xanatos pits Coyote 4.0 against Coyote the mythical American Indian trickster. The latter threatens to sue for trademark infringement. (Xanatos: "Consider it a tribute.")
