History Trivia / ShimmerAndShine

* ScheduleSlip: The show originally had multiple episodes air over several months, mainly about 2-3 times per month, but since then it has only aired one episode a month.

* TheOtherDarrin: Due to Blake Bertrand going through puberty, season 3 has Zac being voiced by Justin Felbinger.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite being adored by Nick Jr. and getting plenty of merchandise and promotion, the show's viewers have decreased over the years in favor of being succeeded by ''WesternAnimation/NellaThePrincessKnight''. The show has eventually moved to the Nick Jr. channel and has since only aired one episode a month.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: It doesn't exactly take up excessive airtime, but being renewed for a 4th season should indicate that this is true. Nick executives also cite it as one of their flagship preschool properties (and cartoons in general) and gets tons of promotion.

* ActorAllusion:
** "Hair Dos And Don'ts" has Liliana Mumy voicing Ayla, another [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse fashion savvy character]]. Though she's more intelligent than Leni.
** Empress Caliana is voiced by Creator/BarbaraEden, who [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie has some experience with genies...]]

* DawsonCasting: Averted with Shimmer, Shine, Leah, Zac, and Kaz being voiced by child actors, but played straight with Princess Samira and Zeta. The former five are played by actors of roughly the same age, but the latter are teenagers voiced by Niki SooHoo and Lacey Chabert, with Nikki in her late 20s and Lacey in her mid 30s.
** Also played straight with Afina, the glitter genie, and Layla. They're both teenage genies voiced by Julie Nathanson and Danica McKellar, who are currently 42.

** Shimmer and Shine are sisters, as are Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} and Shine. This is coincidental, probably.
