History Trivia / KaBlam

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Eventually, Nickelodeon just let this show rot after the first season. No one knows why. Maybe it wasn't the CashCowFranchise that ''Rugrats'' was; maybe they didn't see the appeal; or maybe they felt that ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' was a more cost-efficient variety show.

* CrossDressingVoices: The main kids in ''The Offbeats'' segments were voiced by young children, most notably [[Series/TheOC Mischa Barton]] as Betty-Anne Bongo. The later episodes had several of the kids' voices sounding a bit lower, including the females (who were voiced by girls). The only adult voice actors were series creator Mo Willems, who voiced September the dog and Grubby Groo, and Kevin Seal (better known as the voices of [[SheepInTheBigCity Sheep and General Specific]]) providing Tommy's yelling voice. Not to mention that Henry and June were done by kids, along with Loopy and Larry.

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxL3xov936s Lo and behold, the pilot has finally been discovered.]]

* BannedEpisode: Due to matters of the Action League Now! short "Caged Thunder", The episode ("I Just Don't Get It") was banned from airing on Nickelodeon in North America after the 9/11 attack.

** Noah Segan, who did Henry, was also in the 1995 season finale of ''MarriedWithChildren'' as a kid blackmailing Kelly into going with him to his elementary school prom, and made occasional appearances on early 1990s episodes of ''SaturdayNightLive'' as a recurring extra in sketches that called for actual children to appear and not 20 to 30-something-year-old cast members who can pass as children (albeit overgrown ones).

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: This show never got ''any'' VHS or DVD releases, and doesn't look like it ever will for the time being, due to rights issues over the cartoon shorts. As if that wasn't enough, about [[MissingEpisode half the episodes were never shown on the Nicktoons Network's rerun rotation]].
** Some episodes are available on YouTube. Catch them while they're still there.

** There was going to be a spinoff show called "The Henry and June Show" and focused on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Henry and June]] and premiered in 1999. It had only two segments: the first segment, "A Show of Their Own", featured Henry and June with a studio audience and musical guests. The next segment was "Be True to Your School", where Henry and June attend school, and try their best to tackle hard subjects like "How to Look Your Best". It was never again shown after it premiered.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Nickelodeon just left this show in the cold for seemingly no reason. Maybe it was because it wasn't the cash cow that ''Rugrats'', ''Ren and Stimpy'', and ''RockosModernLife'' were (despite that it does have a cult following); maybe they just didn't see the appeal in the show; or maybe they felt that it wasn't a good competitor to ''OhYeahCartoons''.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was originally going to take place in a live action comic book, with the shorts being Henry and June, Action League Now!, and some old Nicktoons shorts. Later, new shorts were made, and Henry and June became the hosts.
** Sniz and Fondue's {{pilot}}, "Psyched for Snuppa", was one of the two contenders for the fourth Nicktoon in 1992. The show it lost to? ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' (all things considered, it's not ''that'' bad, but still...).

* DawsonCasting: Parodied. An episode had a scene with the main kids advertising for the (non-existent) ''Kablam! The Musical'', which had Henry and June played by actors...that were in their mid-20's.
** Averted for (most of) the main cast, the kid characters (except for Sniz & Fondue) were done by actual kids, ranging from late elementary school aged to their early teens when it premiered in 1996.
* DuelingShows: With ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons''.
* ExecutiveMeddling: The then-president of Nickelodeon didn't like Patch-Head, and his shorts were removed. Since the character got a lot of hate anyway, the fans were happy.

* MissingEpisode: Half of the series wasn't aired on Nicktoons. Episode 29 is the biggest example, because it was aired once in 1998.

** Sniz and Fondue's {{pilot}}, "Psyched for Snuppa", was one of the two contenders for the fourth Nicktoon in 1992. The show it lost to? ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife''.
*** Prometheus and Bob was going to be made into a live-action movie, but the project got cancelled.

* {{Blooper}}: In the very first episodes, June's ponytail is missing in some shots. [[ViewerGenderConfusion This may be why a lot of people thought she was a dude at first.]]

* FridayNightDeathSlot: Well, at first, the show had four time slots (during the original run): Friday at 8:00 PM for new episodes, SNICK (Saturday night) for reruns at 9:00 PM (and 9:30 PM on occasions), 12:00 PM for reruns on weekends, and during some morning or early afternoon hours for reruns before and after Nick Jr, and while the target audience is at school. After SNICK was re-vamped, the only way to catch new episodes was in the Friday night slot.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Loopy was played by DanielleJudovits.
** And June's been in a lot of ''{{WesternAnimation/Mad}}'' episodes. (Doubles as ProductionPosse a bit)
*** And in an episode of ''JudgingAmy''.
** One-shot character Fuzzball is [[WesternAnimation/TheBuzzOnMaggie Maggie!]] (as well as [[{{Franchise/Bratz}} Roxxi]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheMightyB Gwen]].)
** [[TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete "Endless" Mike Helstrom]] is Sniz (also an example of ProductionPosse)
** "Weird Ryan" is [[WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter Peanut Otter!]]
** I ''swear'' I heard Henry in a 1997 ad for Nickelodeon Magazine.
** In many of the shorts (usually the one-shots), you're likely to hear a few ''{{WesternAnimation/Doug}}'' voices in there, namely Judy (and Connie), Boomer (and Roger in the Disney series), and Chalky.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXAMPLE. This show never got ''any'' VHS or DVD releases, and doesn't look like it ever will for the time being.
** The only official VHS releases of any episodes were shorts from ''The Off-Beats'', put in between episodes on a 1996 ''{{WesternAnimation/Rugrats}}'' video. These shorts aired on Nickelodeon by themselves, and were put on the video to promote the premier of Kablam!.
** As if that wasn't enough, about [[MissingEpisode half the episodes were never shown on the Nicktoons Network's rerun rotation]].
** Amazon announced a DVD release for the 2009 Holiday season, but apparently changed their minds.
** It may or may not happen, but this could change with the Shout! Factory releases of classic Nick shows...
* MissingEpisode: Half of the series wasn't aired on Nicktoons. Episode 29 is the biggest example, because it was aired once in 1998. The episode "I Just Don't Get it!" from 1997 was probably pulled for a reason though, as the Action League Now! segment had many terrorist references, and it was never seen in the US again after 9/11.
* ProductionPosse: Played with, or averted, or something. As each segment did its own casting, Rick Gomez (aka [[TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete Endless Mike]] [[NightmareFuel Helstrom]]) was slated to play [[PlayingAgainstType Sniz]] before he found out that [[TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete McRobb and Viscardi]] ran this show, and they didn't find out he was involved until after production started.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Nickelodeon just leaves this show in the cold.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was originally going to take place in a live action comic book, with the shorts being Henry and June, Action League Now!, and old Nicktoons shorts. Later, new shorts were made, and Henry and June became the hosts.

* TheRedStapler: In ''E Pluribus [=KaBlam!=], Henry and June are advertising toys of themsleves. Too bad Nick forgot to mention they were fake, because fans who were children at the time were begging for those.
