History Trivia / KimPossible

* UsefulNotes/HighDefinition: The show was one of the earliest cartoon series produced in HD, despite releasing in an era when most households still had standard definition television sets. This has given the show some staying power, making it easier for younger audiences who grew up with larger resolution devices to enjoy it. It was cropped to 4x3 for standard defintion TV's, but is now regularly shown in HD.

* IKnewIt: Early fan fictions were writing Shego as having a brother named "Hego" who is a superhero long before the actual character appeared. Fans didn't anticipate her having ''multiple'' brothers though, and especially not her being an ex-hero.

** As confirmed by Friedle in his Twitter account, Wrestling/JohnCena was considered to voice Ron, which would've caused a WTHCastingAgency from fans.

** Fortunately, Disney+ got launched in November 2019 and the entire series, including ''So the Drama'' TV movie and "A Sitch in Time"(albeit rather confusingly split up into three episodes in season 2 called "Past", "Present" and "Future" with zero indication that they are three parts of a TV Movie) and the 2019 live action version, started streaming.

* AscendedFanon: Quite a bit of {{fanon}}, most obviously the names of Kim's parents.

* WriterRevolt: [[ExecutiveMeddling Compelled]] to make a episode about dietary health, the story sees Ron [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk hulk out]] due to [[AppliedPhlebotinum a vat of stuff]] and a lot of junk food in a parody of ''Film/SuperSizeMe''. He delivers [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle the ''wrong'' moral (don't mess with dangerous chemicals)]] to the camera while a growing crowd behind him [[PaintingTheMedium wonder who he's talking to]].

** Shaun Fleming voiced the Tweebs for the first three seasons all the way to ''So The Drama''. When the series was renewed for a fourth season, Fleming was going through too much puberty to reprise. Spencer Fox was chosen to replace him.

** ''So the Drama'' was originally written as a live-action adaptation of the TV show, which explains the film's BroadStrokes. Also there was another script for a live-action film that later became ''Film/SkyHigh''.

* DuelingShows: ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' was another "secret agent high-school kid" show. It predated ''Kim Possible'' (which began in 2002, while ''Totally Spies!'' began in 2001), and ironically, aired on what was then [[Creator/{{Freeform}} ABC Family]] ([[TheArtifact a remnant]] of having been co-produced by Saban before it and Fox Family were bought by Disney), then moved to Creator/CartoonNetwork.

** Kim Possible wasn't even the only Disney show to do the whole "teenage spies" plot first as ''WesternAnimation/MaryKateAndAshleyInAction'' came out in 2001 and aired on Disney's OneSaturdayMorning block.

** In "Grande Size Me" Ron tries to prove that the "Wheel of Good Eating" (Based on the real life "Food Pyramid" taught in schools) is a myth, in the 2000s it was revealed that the Food Pyramid was in fact [[https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html a myth]] and since the episode's airing the model received a fair amount of criticism to the point where more accurate models have since replaced it in schools.

** Apparently Creator/ChristyCarlsonRomano was asked how a teenager like her would say something like “what’s up?” and she said something like “What’s the sitch?” which became Kim’s famous CatchPhrase. That said, she has said her memory might not be accurate but she is 99% sure that is what happened.
** The creators also asked her what her favourite clothing stores are and she named Banana Republic and Club Monaco. That’s how Club Banana was created.

* BannedEpisode: ''Ron the Man'', due to its content (it reveals that Ron's Jewish) is banned in MENA region and apparently for the same reason the episode cannot be dubbed into Arabic (Strangely this didn't happen to any of Christmas-themed episodes). As a side-effect of the ban the episode was kept from being premiered in Poland until at least August 2010 when Disney Channel Poland separated from the Disney Channel MEA/Greece/Turkey feed.
* BeamMeUpScotty: Amidst the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, a screenshot of Wade saying in twenty years people would be working from home like him and Kim [[ItWillNeverCatchOn dismissing the idea]] went viral. No such conversation actually takes place in the show itself (it could be from some deleted scene/promo though). The screenshot appears to be from the episode [[Recap/KimPossibleS1E6BuenoNacho “Bueno Nacho”]] and the actual conversation that takes place is of Kim and Wade discussing a Club Banana jacket she wants to buy but can’t afford and Wade accidentally revealing that he has been hacking into her account and reading embarrassing incidents from her personal diary.

* TheOriginalDarrin: Senior Senior Sr was voiced in various episodes by Earl Boen instead of Ricardo Montalban when the latter was in poor health. He returned to the role when he recovered.

** The "good eating" episode, mandated by execs, but what we got was... ''*shudder*''

* TheWikiRule: Has a wiki [[http://kimpossible.wikia.com/wiki/Kim_Possible_Wiki here.]]

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Never by Disney Channel, but suffered from a really bad case of this during its time airing Saturday mornings on Creator/ABC. As the only Disney Channel series being reran on the network that wasn't an EdutainmentShow, many ABC affiliates (mostly those operated by Hearst Television or Allbritton Communications) saw no need to air it, even less so than ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' because at least that series was premiering new episodes on the block while K.P. was nothing but reruns. As a result, those stations either didn't air the show at all in favor of using that space for college football and/or locally-produced programming, or aired it in a time isolated from the rest of the block (usually the dead hours of the morning or late in the afternoon on Saturdays, or on Sunday mornings, often '''directly''' competing against the show's Disney Channel broadcasts). The show was dropped from ABC Kids' line-up in September 2006 in favor of a second timeslot for ''Power Rangers'', meaning that the show's fourth and final season never got to air on ABC.

** The Possible Twins, Jim and Tim, are both played by Shaun Fleming. He was 12 while recording season one, when the "tweebs" were 10. According to producers, Tim and Jim got a redesign and height boost in season four, either to justify Shaun's voice change or to justify a new actor. In the end, Disney went with a new actor, also a young boy: 13-year-old Spencer Fox, better known as Dash from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Of course, by season three, Fleming's voice had obviously broken, and no attempt was made to hide it. This had the bizarre result of the "tweebs" ''looking'' older but ''sounding'' younger than they had in the previous season.
