13	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Season 1 is available on DVD, but not the rest of the seasons. The entire series is now available on iTunes, Creator/{{Tubi}}, Creator/PrimeVideo, and Website/YouTube[[note]] All of the episodes were RereleasedForFree on their platform on December 31, 2021, a full decade after the show premiered.[[/note]].
14	* NoExportForYou: The show never aired in Canada, despite the Hub's other animated series either airing on YTV or Teletoon. The only way for Canadians to watch the show was to buy the DVD boxet of season 1.
15	* ProductionPosse: This show reunites actor Curtis Armstrong with animator Bill Kopp, the show's director. The two had previously worked together on ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'', which Kopp co-created and in which Armstrong provided the voice for Scooter the Caveman for the "Terrible Thunderlizards" segments.
16	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show was suddenly cancelled after season 3, in spite of good reviews and ratings. Creator/{{Starz}} (which owns Film Roman and distributes it on DVD and Digital) could potentially revive it at some point.
17	* {{Tuckerization}}: Yes, Dan and Chris do share the name of the show's creator duo.
18	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
19	** The series was initially envisioned as a live-action, TV-MA-rated sitcom (with Creator/{{HBO}} as the most likely network for it; that or Starz). Hearing that Creator/AdultSwim was hearing pitches for new series prompted Chris Pearson and Dan Mandel to re-work the format as an animated series. The show was brought to The Hub (a more-or-less family-friendly channel, filled with stuff primarily for children, like ''WesternAnimation/{{Littlest Pet Shop\|2012}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''[[note]]other than the [[PeripheryDemographic Brony fandom]][[/note]]) by Margaret Loesch, former head of Marvel Productions and Creator/FoxKids, who operated the production company which produces the show and picked up the show as the channel's founding CEO. (She jokes about launching an entire network just to give Pearson and Mandel a show.)
20	** In a 2012 [=ComicCon=] panel, it was revealed that there was supposed to be a Dan vs. [[TheGhost Ted]] episode and at least two scripts had been written, one of which eventually became "Dan vs. Dan".
21	* WriteWhoYouKnow: Elise is loosely based on Chris Pearson's wife, Elise.
