History Trivia / VideoPower

* TalkingToHimself: Creator/RichardNewman voiced Max Force ''and'' his archenemy Mr. Big (and also Malkil, but his beef was with a hero with a different actor so it doesn't really stand out).
** Kwirk and Spike are both voiced by Terry Klassen, and similarly get a few scenes where they exchange dialogue with each other.

* NamesTheSame: Joe Rockhead, the loveable bumbling idiot from The Power Team, happens to share the same name with Joe Rockhead, the iconic friend of Fred and Barney from WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones. They claimed to have copyright over the name too, so they should be glad Warner Bros. didn't sue them to oblivion!

* EditedForSyndication: After ''Video Power'' underwent its format change for its second season, ''Power Team'' was spun-off into its own show, ''Acclaim Masters'', with a new theme song. These were actually the same cartoon segments from the first season of ''Video Power'', but without the live-action wraparound footage of Johnny Arcade offering game tips and news of latest releases (likely to avoid dating the show for reruns). Because the original cartoons by themselves were not long enough to fill-in a whole half-hour block, the episodes were recut with haphazardly-edited footage from other episodes in order to pad out the running time. Compare the [[https://youtu.be/m-BGyljnaf4 original airing]] of the first episode (Yes, We Have No Tomatoes) to [[https://youtu.be/QHK1Kd-2-aY the later rerun version]].

* EditedForSyndication: After the main ''Video Power'' show underwent its format change for its second season, ''The Power Team'' segments were spun-off into their own show with a new theme song and without the live-action wraparound footage (likely because the hints and advertisement for new releases would've dated the show for reruns). Since the cartoons themselves were not sufficiently long enough to fill-in a whole half-hour block, the episodes were recut with footage from other episodes in order to pad out the running time.

* EditedForSyndication: After the main ''Video Power'' show underwent its format change for its second season, ''The Power Team'' segments were separated into their own show with a new theme song and without the live-action wraparound footage (likely because giving hints and advertising for older games would've dated the show for reruns). Because the cartoons themselves were not sufficiently long enough to fill-in a half-hour block, the episodes were recut with footage from different episodes in order to pad out the running time.
* TheOtherDarrin: The animated Johnny Arcade isn't voiced by the live action Johnny Arcade.

* RecycledSoundtrack: In the animated ''Power Team'' segment, the majority of the background music is lifted straight from ''WesternAnimation/KiddVideo''. They can get away with it since both are Saban productions.

* DivorcedInstallment: ''The Power Team'' was separated into its own show for reruns in the later 90s on the Creator/USANetwork, with a different theme song and a different title (''Acclaim Masters''), likely because the live-action footage giving hints and advertising for games several years old would be too dated for reruns.

* OutOfOrder: Occasionally in the first season, Johnny would give a pre-show rundown rundown of a ''Power Team'' episode that didn't match what actually aired, suggesting a last-minute reshuffle.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: During the 2000's the show seemed to have vanished, but come the 2010's episodes began to leak. 33 episodes have been released; some sources claim there are 55, but others seem skeptical of this. Not all are complete though: As of writing, Episode 24 is missing the Cartoon Segment, 10 and 22 are missing parts of the Live-Action segment, and 21 is missing the Cartoon ''and'' a good chunk of the Live-Action segment.
