History Trivia / KimPossible

* ExecutiveMeddling: Both Good and Bad:

** In addition to [[ExecutiveMeddling execs]] insisting on an animal sidekick and getting Rufus in return, Rufus' species, a ''naked'' mole rat, was deliberately chosen as Disney Channel would have no choice but to keep using the word "naked" to [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar describe a main character]] throughout the series' run.

** Fortunately, Disney+ got launched in November 2019 and the entire series, including "So The Drama" TV movie and "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. * MissingTrailerScene: The credits of the first three seasons have a brief clip of Kim dodging an attack from a much larger Shego (it's unclear whether Shego has [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever grown large]] or Kim has [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrunk small]]). The scene never appears in any episode.

* TheOriginalDarrin: Señor 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.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The intro song mentions pagers right when they were getting displaced by cellphones, Zita is a fan of an ''VideoGame/{{Everquest}}'' parody (which still exists but has been overthrown by ''World of Warcraft''), there's a '90s-esque reoccuring BoyBand, and Kim's fashion sense reeks of early 2000s.

* RealityIsUnrealistic: Wade once went to Paris and then to Kim using the excuse that he was there to fix the "French Internet".[[note]]He was actually having a secret date with Monique, but that's another story.[[/note]] Kim actually discovers he was lying because the Internet is one united worldwide network. But, there was a "French Internet" of sorts between 1978 and 2012, or rather a pre-WWW precursor to the Internet as we know it today, the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel Minitel]],[[note]]OK, actually Teletel; Minitel was the name of the terminals one accessed the network, but people usually just called both "Minitel" anyway[[/note]] which was able to implement various functionalities we now take for granted online.

** ImpossiblePickleJar

** Kim herself was voiced by Christy Romano, who was 16 years old at the time of casting.

* DawsonCasting: Like many Creator/DisneyChannel shows, this is mostly avoided for the most part, such as 16-year old Sadie Stanley playing 16-year-old Kim and 13-year-old Issac Ryan Brown playing 10-year-old Wade. Exceptions include 20-year-old Sean Giambrone as 16-year-old Ron and 20-year-old Erika Tham as 16-year-old Bonnie, but due to them being YoungerThanTheyLook, this is not obvious.

** Monique and Bonnie were also voiced by teens, as was Wade, though since he's a preteen, this makes it a bit of a DawnsonCasting case for him.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show has never been fully released on DVD. As of October 2010, Disney has released the first two seasons in the US, but as a Disney Movie Club exclusive, and the entire run is on iTunes and DisneyNOW in the US.

* WordOfSaintPaul: According to Christy Carlson Romano Kim and Ron now have 2 kids and live in Upperton after investing in Bueno Nacho.

** The Fearless Ferret episode was a cross-spoof of the 60s ''Series/{{Batman}}'' series and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. Will Friedle was the voice actor for ''Beyond'''s Terry [=McGinnis=], while Timothy North's voice actor was Creator/AdamWest, who played Batman in the 1960's TV show.

* 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.

* TheOriginalDarrin: Senor 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.
