History Trivia / SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat

* TheOtherDarrin: In two ''Sagwa'' flash games (with the exception of the puzzle game) that were featured on the PBS Kid's ''Sagwa'' webpage, Sagwa's voiced by an unknown voice actress (instead of Holly Gauthier-Frankel) and her voice sounded much older compared to the show. However Jesse Vinet was able to reprise her role as Sheegwa during a game involving Sagwa counting the number of fish in English, while Sheegwa would say the number in Chinese off screen.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Launched in a blaze of publicity by PBS with high ratings... only for the 9/11 attacks to happen and cause the show to lose ratings thanks to PBS not being able to compete with bucket-tons of news coverage, then the show was seemingly stopped in 2002, marking it's unofficial cancellation (the "official" cancellation happened in 2004)[[note]]UrbanLegendOfZelda states that another reason for it's cancellation was because Sesame Workshop, for whatever reason, decided to quit funding the show in favor of extending the runtime of ''Series/SesameStreet'' episodes.[[/note]], however the show's titular character [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5H5SPfNDF8 did get to appear as part of the PBS Kids Sprout Diner promotion]] complete with Holly Gauthier-Frankel (who voiced Sagwa, the aforementioned titular character) reprising her role. Some [=PBS=] stations still showed the series as late as either 2008 or 2011, with PBS Kids Sprout unceremoniously removing it from the schedule in 2009. However, [=CineGroupe=] has stated through WordOfGod [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cin%C3%A9Groupe&diff=831435149&oldid=825791148 via a since-removed edit on their page on]] [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] that they're looking into rebooting the series.

* ChildrenVoicingChildren: Sheegwa is voiced by a little girl and Dongwa is voiced by a pre-teen boy.

* ScrewedByTheMerchandise: One of the reasons for it's cancellation appears to be because the merchandise was near-impossible to find outside of the home media releases (the plushies sold in the States were made by the obscure Panache Place leading to limited distribution). And to boot, some of the merchandise was pretty odd and not exactly kid-aimed (a tea set made by Reutter Porcelain and party supplies to name two).

** Like with most Greek dubs from the ALTER Channel, the Greek dub doesn't credit the voice actors and dubbing staff, though some of the voice actors who have been identified are known to be from the roster of A-list Greek voice actors that ALTER tended to use in all of their dubs.

** Sonja Ball, aka [[Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats Polly Esther]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} Arthur's mom]], and [[Creator/RichardScarry BusyWorldofRichardScarry!Huckle Cat]], plays Nai-Nai, Sagwa's grandmother. Nai-Nai sounds ''way'' different from all three of them and is different in personality from them.

* FandomLifeCycle: The series started out at Stage 1, then briefly to Stage 2, and then briefly skipped ahead to Stage 4 before slowly crawling to Stage 6(b) (or Stage 6(c) depending on who you ask) after being cancelled. Whatever part of Stage 6 it might be at is the fandom's current status, as the series is mostly forgotten with a handful of fans remaining.

** If the ending to "Mutt That Would Be King" is any indication, there were plans for a second season.

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: The voices of the mice, sleeve dogs, alleycats and one-off characters were never given, although Haiyo the bird is clearly the voice of Zack from ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', and a stork who appeared in "The Favorite" is clearly the voice of Muffy's Dad from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' (in addition to several main characters having voice actors from that show).
