| 1 | * ActingForTwo: Jim Krenn, who played The Flesh, Stinky Diver, the Mayor, Bill the Lab Guy, and Hodge Podge. Also, Scott Paulsen plays Meltman and the announcer. Cris Winter has done some multiple voices, in addition to Thunder Girl. |
| 2 | * BannedEpisode: "Caged Thunder" was banned after the 9/11 attack due to the Mayor being portrayed as a terrorist. It was pulled from Nicktoons after 2001. |
| 3 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Like ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'', this show was never released on video or DVD, and it doesn't look like it for the time being. |
| 4 | * KidsMealToy: In 1998, Burger King released a set of four figures of the Action League as part of their [=NickelOZone=] promotion, which also included toys based on ''Series/CousinSkeeter'', ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', ''Series/TheJourneyOfAllenStrange'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys''. The Flesh and Thundergirl's figures were two-piece figures that could articulate at the waist, while Stinky Diver and Meltman's figures were one-piece figures. |
| 5 | * MissingEpisode: |
| 6 | ** "Caged Thunder" was banned after 9/11 due to The Mayor being portrayed as a terrorist. Not only was the ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' episode with it banned in the US, but the short itself was notably one of the only ones not shown on its' own in-between commercial breaks on Creator/{{Nicktoons}}. The episode continues to air outside the US. |
| 7 | ** "Where Pigeons Dare" and "Sinkhole of Doom" were also skipped by Nicktoons. This may have been done due to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, as those two shorts were created very early in the run (and there's speculation that they were originally intended to be for ''All That'' before ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' went into production). Another reason could be that the two ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' episodes that included these shorts also included ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' cartoons, and ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' lost the rights to air those episodes when Angela Anaconda got her own show on the Fox Family Channel. |
| 8 | * NoBudget: Subverted. The series is done entirely with plastic dolls, toys, and other things you'd normally find in a suburban household with child. However, the crew seems to have an infinite supply of identical plastic dolls. And, at one point, ''actually trashed a car.'' That's not even counting the Meltman costume used for ''Meltman At Large''. |
| 9 | * ProductionPosse: Jim Krenn, Scott Paulsen, and Cris Winter who voice the majority of the characters are all Pittsburgh radio personalities and at the time they were hosts of the DVE Morning Show. Of particular note: The Mayor has the same exact voice as WDVE's satirical portrayal of then-mayor Tom Murphy. |
| 10 | * SpecialGuest: Music/{{KISS}}, Lou Rawls, a few others. [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Steelers]] coach Bill Cowher has a supporting guest appearance in an episode. |
