History Trivia / KaBlam

* RetroactiveRecognition: Loopy was notably Creator/DanielleJudovits' first (major) voice acting role before she went on to play [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Tenten]], [[Manga/SailorMoon Naru Osaka]], [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Glitter Spring]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman Batgirl]], among others.

** The reason why half of the show was skipped on Nicktoons. Many thought it was because the episodes contained content that Nickelodeon did not like (which was true for certain episodes of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''). In reality, only one episode ("I Just Don't Get It") was banned due to containing an ''Action League Now!'' segment that was considered insensitive after the 9/11 attacks. Some of the other episodes that were skipped were due to rights issues over the ''Lava'' and ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' segments. Other episodes that were missing despite not having any segments with legal issues are just assumed to have been skipped due to either Nick not being able to locate the tape masters or just by accident.

** Between 1997-2001, it seemed like almost every block that was on Nickelodeon was hosted by Henry and June. {{Justified| Trope}}, since they were the mascots of the channel at the time.
* BannedEpisode: The episode "I Just Don't Get It" was banned from airing on Nicktoons TV due to the ''Action League Now'' short "Caged Thunder," which contained content that would be considered too soon, following the September 11th attacks.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Inverted]] with the show itself, but if you watched Nicktoons in the mid-2000s back when they still played shorts during commercial breaks, ''Life With Loopy'' tended to be played the most on it's own. Usually being the episodes "Hi-Fi Frankenstein" or "20,000 Leagues Under the Sofa". The ''Prometheus And Bob'' short "Bridge" was also very common (''Sniz and Fondue'' and ''Action League Now!'' were also played but not as often, especially the former). They continued to play even after the show itself was removed from Nicktoons' schedule in 2005.

** A Nicktoon spinoff for ''Stewy the Dog Boy'' was planned but didn't surface [[FollowTheLeader thanks to Disney's]] ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet''.

** Though never credited, Prometheus and Bob were voiced by Creator/TomKenny.

* DawsonCasting: Averted. The main kids in ''The Off-Beats'' 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 Creator/MoWillems, who voiced September the dog and Grubby Groo, Kevin Seal (better known as the voices of [[WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity Sheep and General Specific]]) providing Tommy's yelling voice, Bradley Glenn as Grubby Groo's nephew Bradley, and series producer Kris Greengrove as September's girlfriend February. Not to mention that Henry and June were done by kids, along with Loopy (Creator/DanielleJudovitz) and Larry.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: None of the episodes ever got any authorized releases on VHS or VCD due to intellectual property disputes over some of the one-shot segments. For the same reasons, this Nicktoon is very unlikely to be made available as downloads, DVD videos, Blu-ray Discs, or even streamables at least legally. For now, the closest that the show has to being officially released as a complete set are the full episodes posted by one of the involved staff members on to his own website.

** For Henry and June's last appearance on Nickelodeon as the hosts of ''Nicktoon World News'' (shorts that played during commercial breaks that gave out behind-the-scenes information on Nicktoons, as well as doing "Coming up next" bumpers for the channel) in 2001, June was not played by Julia [=McIlvaine=]. Her voice actress for the shorts is unknown.

** The trope though was oddly averted after [[VocalEvolution his voice broke in season two]], as many animated shows that have male child voice actors are known to recast when said male child voice actor hits puberty and his voice cracks[[note]]''Adventure Time'' and ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' are possible exceptions, as they incorporated the vocal change into the series rather than get rid of the talent[[/note]].

** ''Prometheus and Bob'' was going to be given a Live-Action adaptation for a feature film. However due to a lack of interest, the idea was ultimately cancelled.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Henry asking June if she can help him with her responding, "And I would do that why?" was commonly quoted on a few TV database websites in the early 2000s; this line never appeared in the show.
** Actually, it appeared on the Loopy short "Bargain Hunters from Beyond the Stars", only Loopy says, "Beam me up, spotty!"

* UrbanLegends:
** Since the show was canceled all the way back in 2000, rumors persisted of a supposed scrapped episode, the famous "Episode 29", where it was claimed to be a GrandFinale for the show if it wasn't renewed for season 4. Henry and June would have interacted with the reoccurring skit characters and give them all a sendoff, at the end of which Henry and June would have admitted their crushes and ended on TheBigDamnKiss. With the discovery of nearly every episode, all be it in some very rough recordings, it's all but confirmed to be a fan hoax. The final nail in the coffin was the fact that archive history reveals the supposed episode's plot both was posted on Wikipedia and IMDB by an anon in 2003.
** There were also rumors of a scrapped fifth (and possibly sixth) season, posted on both Wikipedia and TV.com around the early-to-mid 2000s. After a fan asked if the unproduced seasons were real, Mark Marek confirmed that the show didn't have any further seasons planned after the fourth one.

* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: The ''Lava'' shorts had to be cut from all post-2000 reruns of the show as well as non-U.S. airings of it, because ''Nickelodeon'' never owned them in the first place; they had only the airing rights, which were bound to expire after a while. However, in some reruns, clips from ''Lava'' were accidentally left in the closing credits, and many viewers would have probably thought "Huh?" upon noticing that oversight.

* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: Along with being cut from international airings, ''Lava'' was also cut from all reruns after 2000, as it was the only short where Nickelodeon didn't own the rights to (most of the episodes that ''Lava'' appeared in were skipped on Nicktoons in the US, except for "Comics For Tomorrow Today!", which cut the short [[ClumsyCopyrightCensorship but forgot to cut the short's credits]]). The same thing happened when "Not Just For People Anymore!" was aired on The Splat- the short and the Henry and June wraparound leading into it was cut, though it was still alluded to in the closing credits.

* BadExportForYou: "Lava" was absent from international airings, which means viewers probably went "Huh?" when seeing it in the closing credits (it would eventually be cut from reruns in the US as well from 2000 on as Nick lost the rights to the short. In Spanish airings Lava got cut from the credits).

** [[https://vrv.co/series/G6J0QGM4R On August 28, 2018, eight episodes from the first season were added onto the streaming service VRV after years of not being distributed digitally.]] It is worth noting however that the first season isn't complete and other seasons weren't added, likely due to licensing issues.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers:
** Due to copyright issues with the one-shot shorts as well as the music videos, Nickelodeon has confirmed that the show will most likely ''never'' air again or get a legal DVD release. While the show eventually aired on The Splat in 2016 (making it the first time it's been reran in the United States since 2005, not counting times where one episode would be brought out for Nicktoons-related marathons), only the first few episodes aired, without any segments that would cause legal issues (save for ''Lava'' which was cut anyway). Thus leaving The Splat with a very limited amount of episodes (even moreso than when the show aired on Nicktoons) that would prevent it from any regular reruns.
** This is the reason why ''Lava'' ended up being cut from later airings of the show and overseas airings. The shorts were never owned by Nickelodeon at all; they only had the airing rights. When the rights went up, Nick had to cut it out of the show. When reruns began to air on Nicktoons, the only episode that had a ''Lava'' short that aired was "Comics For Tomorrow Today", with the short (and the Henry and June segment leading into it) cut. All other episodes with ''Lava'' never aired on Nicktoons in the US; possibly due to the cuts losing too much time in the episode for the timeslot (though "Not Just For People Anymore!" eventually aired on The Splat; with both the short and wraparound leading into it cut).

* NamesTheSame: Henry and June share their names with authors Henry and June Miller. Henry Miller's most famous novels, ''Tropic of Cancer'' and ''Tropic of Capricorn'', and the Millers', er, friend Anais Nin's autobiographical novel ''Henry and June'' and its 1990 film adaptation are emphatically ''not'' child-friendly due to their explicit content (the film was among the first to be rated NC-17).
