History Trivia / KaBlam

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Due to music licensing issues and presumably copyright issues with some of the segments, Nickelodeon has confirmed that the show will most likely ''never'' air again or get a legal DVD release. While the show eventually aired on Creator/NickRewind in 2016 (making it the first time it's been rerun 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 (save for ''Lava'', which was cut anyway). Therefore, [=NickRewind=] was left with a very limited amount of episodes (even moreso than when the show aired on Nicktoons) that would prevent the series from any regular reruns.

** 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 was ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife''.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Mr. Stockdale's major schtick is a parody of this - he often adds [[StylisticSuck hilariously terrible]] (for Henry and June, anyway) new elements to the show for no good reason at all.

* TalkingToHimself:
** Dawn and June are both voiced by Julia [=McIlvaine=], if Wikipedia is to be believed.
** Both Anemia and Iodine were played by Becca Lish.

*** "You May Already Be a...[=KaBlammer=]!", "[=KaFun=]!", and "Under New Management" due to legal issues with the music videos featuring music from The Zambonis and Music/TheyMightBeGiants. Doesn't help that the latter episode has ''WesternAnimation/UntalkativeBunny'' which Nick lost the rights to when the series was picked up, and the lattermost having a slightly damaged master print.

** Nickelodeon was able to straighten out the legal issues for most of the episodes for Creator/ParamountPlus, but 11 episodes are omitted for various legal problems (the missing episodes featured ''Lava'', ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'', ''WesternAnimation/UntalkativeBunny'', and music videos from The Zambonis and Music/TheyMightBeGiants, among other things). Interestingly, "Better than a Poke in the Eye" is available on the streaming service despite including a ''Lava'' segment, which suggests that Paramount still held the rights for the segment in that particular episode only, but not for any of the season 1 episodes.

*** "[=KaBlam! James KaBlam!=]" due to Music/Kiss being a prominent part of the ''Action League Now!'' segment.

* 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 insensitive, following the September 11th attacks.

** The show eventually resurfaced on Creator/ParamountPlus on March 2021.

** Creator/ParamountPlus is missing eleven episodes, primarily from seasons 1 and 4.

** 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'' 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.

** Nickelodeon was able to straighten out the legal issues for most of the episodes for Creator/ParamountPlus, but 11 episodes are omitted for various legal problems (the missing episodes featured Lava, ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'', ''WesternAnimation/UntalkativeBunny'', and Music/TheyMightBeGiants music videos, among other things).

** Nickelodeon was able to straighten out the legal issues for most of the episodes for Creator/ParamountPlus, but 11 epsiodes are omitted for various legal problems (the missing episodes featured Lava, ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'', ''WesternAnimation/UntalkativeBunny'', and Music/TheyMightBeGiants music videos, among other things).

** The stand-alone specials (''Life With Loopy Birthday Gala-Bration'', ''The Off-Beats' Valentine's Special'', and ''[[PoorlyDisguisedPilot The Henry and June Show]]'') only aired once and never again, and because they were not in the show's official episode count, they wouldn't be included with most episode packages airing overseas. As the ''Life With Loopy'' special was basically a ClipShow of old shorts from the series compiled with different wraparounds (the only new short that aired during the special, "Send In The Clones", was re-aired in "More Happiness Than Allowed By Law!" in season three), there was most likely no intent to air the special afterward. ''The Henry and June Show'' was also produced in order to get a spin-off of the titular duo off the ground- when the show wasn't picked up, Nick most likely didn't see any reason to air it again. As for why ''The Off-Beats' Valentine's Special'' never aired again, reasons are unknown.

** While "Now With More Flava!" may seem like a DownerEnding (it was the final episode aired and ended with Henry and June as security guards), the final episode ''made'' was "Going The Extra Mile".

* RelationshipVoiceActor: In the Hungarian dub, Loopy and Larry's voice actors, Csuha Bori and Szevetlov Balázs, were also the Hungarian dubbing voices for [[Anime/SpiritedAway Chihiro and Haku]], as well as [[Film/{{Twilight}} Bella Swan and Edward Cullen]]. Csuha Bori was also in the Hungarian dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' with June's voice actress Mánya Zsófi- they were Gretchen and Spinelli respectively.

* 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 Anais Nin's novel ''Henry and June'' (a recollection of her relationship with the Millers in 1930s Paris) 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).
** Henry and June creator Mark Marek shares his name with the creator of an infamous ShockSite.

** Only one episode (Won’t Crack or Peel) was ever released on VHS as part of a promotion with Tombstone Pizza. This is also the only know way to see the episode in its original 3D “Nogglevision” airing as it originally aired. Needless to say, the VHS is extremely rare and very valuable; with many copies believed to have either been lost or destroyed by Nickelodeon.

** Several characters from the show were to appear in ''Nicktoons: Attack Of The Toyboys'' as trophies, but were ultimately left out of the final game (despite this, the show is still mentioned in the game's copyright information).

* 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. Full episodes can also be found very easily on [=YouTube=], likely because even ViacomCBS has no interest in sorting through the myriad of copyright issues associated with the series.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The Henry and June wraparounds were filled to the brim with various 1990s pop culture references, and it's taken UpToEleven in ''The Henry and June Show''. ''Action League Now!'' had a few of the pop culture references, but was nowhere near as heavy on them as Henry and June- most of the things dating the short to the late 1990s were the technology (and that most of the minor characters were Playskool dollhouse dolls from the early '90s). ''Life With Loopy'' almost averts it, with the exception of the technology shown (the first minute of the first episode even has Larry holding a boombox and waving around an audio cassette, for example) and some of the clothes and hairstyles on the kid characters.

*** According to ''Sniz and Fondue'' creator Mike Brandon, the duo were given ANOTHER chance at their own show after it became a hit on ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam''. However, Brandon left Nickelodeon due to the studio politics and the ''Sniz and Fondue'' slot was given to another Nicktoon. That Nicktoon? ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.

** ''Prometheus and Bob'' was going to be given a Live-Action adaptation for a feature film. However due to troubled production and the creator hating what the original script entailed, the idea was ultimately reworked into the film, ''Film/GulliversTravels''.

** Half of the series was skipped when the show aired on Nicktoons (with a few that did air on Nicktoons for its' first year or two and then got pulled), and a few episodes such as "[=KaFun=]!" and "Just Chillin'" only aired sparingly in the original run (though in "Just Chillin'!"'s case, the show was the SeriesFinale, and Nickelodeon ended up pulling the show from the schedule in early 2001).

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Due to copyright issues with some of the segments, 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 rerun 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.

* CanonDiscontinuity: At one point, as recently as 2007[[note]]It was listed in the copyright information for ''[[VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots]]'' among all of the other Nicktoons, despite no elements from it appearing in-game[[/note]], it was considered the seventh Franchise/{{Nicktoon|s}}. However, it's been excluded from the Nicktoons canon since then for reasons unclear.

* 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.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Not]] 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 and the latter had its [[WesternAnimation/ActionLeagueNow own show]] that aired reruns on Nicktoons at the time). They continued to play even after the show itself was removed from Nicktoons' schedule in 2005.

* 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.
