History Trivia / Sidekick

* TheWikiRule: Has a wiki [[http://sidekick.wikia.com/wiki/Sidekick_Wiki here.]]

* TheOtherDarrin: The ''WesternAnimation/{{Funpak}}'' shorts had a few different voice actors than the TV series: Eric was voiced by Creator/PeterOldring instead of Miklos Perlous, Vana and Kitty [[TalkingToHimself were both voiced by]] Creator/StephanieBeard instead of Creator/StephanieAnneMills and Creator/DeniseOliver respectvely, and Professor Pamplemoose was voiced by Alex Nussbaum instead of Creator/PatrickMcKenna. Funny enough, Alex Nussbaum worked on the full ''Sidekick'' series as one of the show's writers.

* TalkingToHimself: Both Kitty and Vana were voiced by Stephanie Beard in the ''Funpak'' shorts before both were given different actors for the 2010 series.

* WordOfGod: According to Eric's official in-character [=YouTube=] page, [[CoolOldGuy Sensei Jimmy]] from "Everybody is Side-Fu Fighting" died of old age off-screen. This explains why he never appeared after his debut episode.

** Maxum Man was originally named Mega Man, presumably changed to avoid confusion with the other, better-known VideoGame/MegaMan. Also, his chest emblem had two M's instead of just one and a narrower head shape.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: The show seemed to be Creator/{{YTV}}'s favorite show throughout the early 2010's, with it getting many promotions and online games, as-well as airing quite often, it even got its own webpage unlike other shows on the network, and even after ending it still airs in reruns. It also currently airs on the Canadians feeds of both Cartoon Network and Disney XD, and previously Nickelodeon. That's '''4 channels''' in total.

* ChannelHop: In the US, Creator/CartoonNetwork only aired the first two seasons of the series during its 2011-2012 run on the channel, with Creator/{{Qubo}} airng the remaining last season '''five years later''' in 2017.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The series was initially treated fairly well by Cartoon Network despite getting mixed reception from viewers of the channel when it debuted in June 2011, as it was given a decent amount of airtime and promotion for over a year. In October 2012, however, it was abruptly taken off Cartoon Network's schedule with no explanation. Some viewers believe this was due to CN making room on their line-up to air programs celebrating the channel's 20th anniversary that month, but the series did not return to the network after the celebration was over, despite still having one more season to go. Even when the channel's ''Cartoon Planet'' block (previously dedicated exclusively to showing Cartoon Network's pre-2010 original programs) began to air reruns of fellow Creator/{{YTV}} cartoons ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'' in 2013 (the year ''Sidekick'''s third and final season began premiering in the show's native country), it didn't air this show. However, the series would evenutally find new life on Creator/{{Qubo}} (partially owned by its creators, Creator/{{Nelvana}}), where all the season 3 episodes of ''Sidekick'' finally made their U.S. debuts when the series began broadcasting there in March 2017, with the channel continuing to air reruns of the show until July 2020.
