History Trivia / OutOfJimmysHead

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Although the show did get a dvd release, it only contains three episodes, and is now long out of print. There also used to be uploads of this show on Website/YouTube, but they were taken down and never put back up for a long time. As of 2017, the movie at least turned up their on demand service, but so far, that's it.

** As of October 2023, the entire series is now on Youtube after someone released German airings of the remaining missing episodes that had the English audio for some reason.
* MissingEpisode: Nearly the entire show was this, at one point. For a while, due to Cartoon Network giving this show the WesternAnimation/AllenGregory treatment by removing the show from any and all streaming services, not giving it a dvd release (except for the UK, but even then, it only contained three of the show's episodes), and very few people archiving episodes of the show, only half of the show's episodes were available to watch online, while the other half could only be watched in foreign language dubs. It wasn't until as recent as 2023 that all of the show's episodes became available to watch in its original english audio, thanks to German airing of the remaining episodes.

* NoExportForYou: A weird inverted example. As mentioned above, the show did get a dvd release, in spite of its unpopularity, but is only available to purchase in the UK, which isn't even the show's country of origin.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: CN pretty much erased all traces of this show. There used to be uploads on Website/YouTube, but they were taken down and never put back up. As of 2017, the movie at least turned up their on demand service, but so far, that's it.

* NoExportForYou: The UK and Latin America got the TV movie, but not the series.

* ActingForTwo: In the movie, Creator/TomKenny has two roles: voicing Tux and appearing as a live-action board member at the studio.

** As of October 2023, the enitre series is now on Youtube.

** [[https://imgur.com/a/E4CJNHi According to co-creator Adam Pava]], although the concept of the main character seeing cartoon characters after receiving a dead animator's brain was always intended from the beginning, the original pitch was mostly focused on satirizing and referencing elements of animation and animation history, with one proposed episode involving a send-up of Disney's ''Film/SongOfTheSouth''. When the movie was greenlit, Cartoon Network management insisted that the show instead be a more traditional KidCom, a normal kid and his life in both school and dealing with seeing the creations. Pava stated that Main/ExecutiveMeddling due to the networks' new leadership change as well as lack of budgt, crew and time led to it's downfall.

** Dominic Janes (Jimmy's actor) never picked up a decent career after starring in this show. He had a voice acting role in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' and a minor role in ''Series/{{ER}}'', but after that, he more or less retired from acting.

* NetworkDecay: This show was a major contributing factor to this for Creator/CartoonNetwork, as it was their first live-action original series, which can be traced as their inspiration to create "CN Real" and thus have more live-action shows occupy the schedule than cartoons.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: It lasted only one season with 20 episodes in total and just 6 months, barely even a year, and completely left the schedule and was erased from CN's website a month after it was given the ax.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to co-creator Adam Pava, the movie/series concept was initially conceived by Pava and Tim Mckeon when Cartoon Network wanted a live-action series that had the same humor as their animated programming. While the basis of a kid seeing the creations of a dead cartoonist due to having it's brain was still originally implied, the movie was initially supposed to have more notions and callbacks to many Disney properties and have a more animation history/satire to it. However, Cartoon Network wanted the show to be more about a normal kid and his life in both school and dealing with seeing the creations. Pava stated that Main/ExecutiveMeddling due to the networks' new leadership change as well as lack of budget, time, experience and better talent led the series to it's downfall.
** An initial idea for the series was to have focus on a racist lost cartoon in reminiscent of Disney's ''Film/SongOfTheSouth''.
** Also according to Pava, the animation style/designs Main/ArtShift was due to budget as Cartoon Network wanted to save money and use their in-house Flash animation team instead of outsourcing the animation to a venue like Creator/RenegadeAnimation.

* OldShame: Notice that CN doesn't even run the movie anymore, it's also no longer on their iTunes store and the show hasn't aired on the network since it got canceled. Safe to say they really feel embarrassed for making this.

* UnderminedByReality: The film tries to be a live action cartoon, but in doing so, a lot of the gags and deliveries fall completely flat due to not having good pacing or direction, which they might have had if it was fully animated. Not helped with the TV series, which came out nine months after the film (and appeared to have been rushed in certain areas).
** On top of that, the setup of Jimmy gaining Milt Appleday's brain can only make sense in a cartoon, as most live action films or TV shows that switch the brains of people acknowledge that, at the very least, that the person whose brain gets switched for someone else's into that someone else's body would be that person. The film tries to handwave this by saying that the doctors were at least able to save Jimmy's "personality gland." Not only is your personality not caused by a gland, which wouldn't be transferable between brains even if it ''did'' exist, since personalities are determined by life experiences, gender, and whatever else, but Milt's brain wouldn't be able to come back to life after decades of being dead in a cooler. Not only that, but the accident that led to Jimmy needing the brain transfer is so contrived, with the train hitting him, causing him to go flying rather than being ran over. Plus, the train wasn't even going that fast, so that makes no sense to have happened.

** The American DVD promised Spanish and French audio, but there was only English on the actual release.
