History Trivia / JohnnyTest

* InternationalCoProduction: The show was produced between the American Warner Bros. Animation and the Canadian Cookie Jar/DHX Media[=/WildBrain=].

* UnfinishedDub: The series' Japanese dub only covers the first season.

** Both Brittney Wilson and Ashleigh Ball get replaced by Emily Tennant as Mary for season 7.

** Deven Mack replaced Creator/ScottMcNeil as Mr. White for Season 7 in a recasting decision clearly brought on by the 2020 George Floyd protests that caused the entertainment industry to rethink how it handled representation of minorities onscreen. Despite that, Scott continues to voice other characters on the show like Zizrar.

** Deven Mack replaced Scott McNeil as Mr. White for Season 7, althought McNeil continues to voice other characters on the show like Zizrar.

* AshcanCopy: Canadian content laws require that television networks broadcast at least a handful of shows produced in their country (not to mass-produce cartoons as is frequently claimed; the same laws also apply to live-action shows). This likely explains why ''Johnny Test'' continued as long as it did despite its massive hatedom and increasingly minuscule budget, being a quick and cheap way Creator/{{Teletoon}} could get around the law and maintain a cable channel in the nation (not to mention that its ratings were good enough to recoup its budget with ease). Also whoever was in charge of the producers at Creator/CookieJarEntertainment must have really loved funding new episodes of the series, because it ended up being Teletoon's longest-running show alongside ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' and ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', while the vast majority of other shows made for Teletoon (including many much more well-received series) [[ShortRunners only ran for about 13-26 episodes]].

* AshcanCopy: Canadian broadcasting law requires that television networks air at least one show produced in their country. This likely explains why Johnny Test continued as long as it did despite massive unpopularity and increasingly minuscule budget, being was a quick and cheap way Teletoon could get around the law and maintain a cable channel in the nation and also because whoever in charge of producers and owner Cookie Jar must had really loved funding new episodes of the series.

** Is confirmed that the Mexican Spanish dub for the revival, while a few voice actors reprise their roles from the original series (Georgina Sánchez as Susan, Dafnis Fernández as Hubert and Adriana Moreno as Lila), other voice actores are replaced, with Carlos Hernández taking over the role of Johnny Test in the lieu of the now retired Ernesto Lezama, Luis Fernando Orozco now voicing Duke instead of Creator/LuisDanielRamirez, and Creator/EduardoGarza now voicing Bling-Bling Boy instead of Gabriel Ortiz.

** Curiously enough, both are the [[DirectedByCastMember dub directors]] of the series (Ortiz in the original after taking duties from the late Vicky Burguoa, and Garza in the revival).

** Christmas Day 2014 was "Johnny Test-Mas"---a marathon of Johnny Test, including episodes that weren't aired before the show was cancelled. And [[HistoryRepeats this was just before CN latched onto]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo another divisive show]].

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: One of the possible factors in the show's deterioration and (brief) cancellation. Apparently, Scott Fellows created the show along with TV producer David Straiton in 1996, but couldn't score a TV deal for it. Years later, Fellows got the show on TV anyway without crediting or paying Straiton, which led to Straiton suing him for fraud and accounting malfeasance. However, a revival of the show is being planned on Netflix with two seasons and Scott fellows is heading the revival, which means that the lawsuit was apparently settled.

** Mary and Sissy were voiced by Brittney Wilson in Season 1 before Creator/AshleighBall took over. For whatever reason, Brittney returned for Season 5 (it was generally assumed Ashleigh was busy with ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic when Season 5 was recorded) before Ashleigh resumed the roles again for Season 6.

** It's just as bad, if not even worse, in Canada, since Season 2 and beyond are produced in Canada. However, Creator/{{Teletoon}} airs [[SeasonalRot Season 6]] over and over again, but enjoys the show as much as [[Creator/CartoonNetwork the American broadcaster]]. Season 1 only aired on the channel for a very short time before Season 2 was produced, likely because Teletoon doesn't own the rights to the [[ScrewedByTheLawyers American-produced Season 1]].
