Line #6 Trivia/LittleBill


1	* AdoredByTheNetwork: Formerly; this show was a staple on Creator/{{Noggin}} and Creator/NickJr in the mid-to-late 2000s and very early 2010s. Creator/BillCosby's sexual assault accusations coming to light caused the show to be dropped in early 2014 and it hasn't been seen since.
2	* BuryYourArt: Since the career-ending accusations against Cosby, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} has gone out of their way to erase every trace of the show's existence. The network has [[https://web.archive.org/web/20200921235729/https://www.twitter.com/nickandmore/status/1308193556494987264 removed the show from archived schedules]] and excluded it from [[https://web.archive.org/web/20221028213026/https://twitter.com/NickAnimation/status/1585964854946529281 the "complete" timeline of Nickelodeon animated series.]]
3	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: The children on the show, including Little Bill himself, are all voiced by actual children.
4	* CreatorBacklash: [[OvershadowedByControversy Due to the controversies surrounding creator Bill Cosby,]] Nickelodeon has been trying to erase ''Little Bill'' from their history. The show was removed from reruns in early 2014 and hasn't been seen since, Nick Jr. never mentions or references the show on social media, and it is currently the only "classic" Nick Jr. show not available to stream on Paramount+. They've even gone as far as removing the show from past schedules.
5	** In 2022, Nickelodeon Animation Studio posted a timeline of its original series. Barring miniseries, spin-offs, and [=DreamWorks=] shows, ''Little Bill'' is the only original show not included, confirming the suspicion that the show has been removed from Nickelodeon canon.
6	* DomesticOnlyCartoon: The series was produced and animated entirely at Nickelodeon's in-house flash studio in New York City.
7	* InMemoriam: "Just a Baby / The Camp Out" was dedicated in the memory of Creator/MadelineKahn, who died 5 days after she recorded her lines for Mrs. Shapiro in the latter segment.
8	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Due to the various allegations against Bill Cosby, Nick Jr. has understandably chosen not to air or acknowledge the series since 2014.
9	** ''Little Bill'' is notably the only in-house animated series from Nick Jr. that has never been available to stream on Creator/ParamountPlus or the [[Creator/{{Noggin}} Noggin app]]. An incomplete collection of episodes is still on Vudu, iTunes, and Amazon on a pay-per-episode basis, but probably only until the latest rights deal runs out.
10	** Eight of the show's segments -- "The Treasure Hunt," "The Best Way to Play," "Zoopity Zoo," "The Ring Bear," "Number One on Honeywood Street," "Baseball Glovers," "Private Time," and "Never" -- have never received an official home release, so the only way to watch them is from low-quality home recordings shared online.
11	* KidsMealToy: Subway sold a set of four toys in 2000; there was a figure of Little Bill with a snap-on spacesuit, Little Bill and Captain Brainstorm in the Brainstar, a plush of Elephant the Hamster, and the Super-Fast Hyper Spinner.
12	* TheOtherDarrin:
13	** Creator/KathyNajimy replaced Madeline Kahn as the voice of Mrs. Shapiro after the latter's death.
14	** The game ''Little Bill Thinks Big'' features Ty Jones replacing Creator/GregoryHines and Bill Cosby as the voice of Big Bill and Captain Brainstorm.
15	* ReclusiveArtist: Xavier Pritchett, who voiced the titular character seemingly vanished off the face of the earth after the series ended in 2004, and his current status and whereabouts are unknown.
