Line #11 Trivia/HomeMovies


1	* ActingForTwo: Brendon, Duane, and Walter are voiced by co-creator Brendon Small. Jason, [=McGuirk=], and Perry are voiced by H. Jon Benjamin.
2	* AdoredByTheNetwork: Considering that it was one of Creator/AdultSwim's very first series, you already know it is going to get some sort of love. They tend to use ''Home Movies'' to start off [adult swim]'s lineup or to end it. Even when it is removed, it ''always'' finds its way back onto the lineup. During its original run, it was subject to some [[ScrewedByTheNetwork questionable schedule changes]]. But since then, [adult swim] gives constant love to the show.
3	* ChannelHop: From Creator/{{UPN}} to Creator/CartoonNetwork as part of its then-new Creator/AdultSwim line-up, which was made up of ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' reruns (and, later, new episodes), ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBrakShow'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}'', ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' and ''Anime/CowboyBebop''.
4	* {{Corpsing}}: It's not uncommon for the voice actors to briefly break character during the show's improv scenes. The pilot episode (which was fully improvised by the cast) has a particular moment where the actors genuinely crack up over Erik's "duck voice".
5	* TheDanza: All cast and characters except Jason, because ''Jon'' Benjamin already plays ''John'' [=McGuirk=], with Paula becoming a later exception (her UPN run being voiced by Paula Poundstone, her Adult Swim run being voiced by Janine Ditullo).
6	** Brendon Small is an "AsHimself except younger" example. Melissa Robbins is played by Melissa Bardin Galsky. Mr. Lynch is played by Ron Lynch.
7	* DistantFinale: Brendon shows up as the owner of a video store in the second-to-last episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', nearly a decade and a half after the original series ended.
8	* DrinkingGame: Has an official one that appeared [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_OUp5u7Jms as a hidden bonus feature on the first season DVD set]].
9	* NetworkToTheRescue: A quite literal case of this; after Creator/{{UPN}} cancelled the series, the newly formed Creator/AdultSwim block purchased the rights to the series and continued its production.
10	* TheOtherDarrin: Paula. Played by Paula Poundstone in the first 5 episodes (the ones that aired on [=UPN=]). Then, when the show was UnCancelled and put on Creator/CartoonNetwork, she was played by Janine Ditullio for the remainder of the series.
11	* ProductionPosse: Most of the voice actors (especially the leads) from ''WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist'' appear here.
12	* ThrowItIn:
13	** The entire first episode was made up on the spot without any planning.
14	** The entire series has a few improv moments as well - usually any hysterical bits involving swearing, which have to be censor bleeped.
15	* UnCancelled: ''Home Movies'' was originally created for Creator/{{UPN}}, who pulled the plug on the series after its fifth episode. The rights to the series was later purchased by the then newly created Creator/AdultSwim, who would support the series for 52 episodes.
