1	* ActingForTwo:

4	** In the Latin American dub, both Mort and Private are voiced by José Antonio Macías.
5	** Also in the Latin American dub, Mario Filio voices King Julien, and both Bada and Bing. And all of them with different voices.
6	** Kowalski and the Red Squirrel - Lampshaded when Kowalski does a perfect impression of The Red Squirrel in "Our Man In Grrfurjiclestan".
7	* TheCastShowoff:
8	** Kowalski's "Graveyard Eight" song lets Creator/JeffBennett show off his singing ability.
9	** "The Return of the Revenge of Dr Blowhole" seems made to allow the cast to show off. Kowalski even gets a duet with [[Creator/NeilPatrickHarris Dr. Blowhole]]. Blowhole even gets two songs to himself afterwards.

12	** And that's on top of guest appearances by actors from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} sitcoms. Those included the likes of Music/VictoriaJustice, Creator/JennetteMcCurdy, Creator/NathanKress, Creator/JerryTrainor, and Creator/CiaraBravo. Creator/ElizabethGillies also sung a Franchise/JamesBond inspired song for one episode.
13	* CrossDressingVoices: Creator/TaraStrong voiced Eggy and at least one one-shot boy character. Of course, anyone familiar with more of her work would know [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents this]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben10}} isn't]] [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends unusual]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} for]] [[WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp her.]]
14	* TheDanza: Creator/FredStoller as Fred the Squirrel.
15	* EarlyBirdRelease: A few episodes were released to [=DVD=] before airing on TV.
16	** "Popcorn Panic" was released as apart of a 2 episode bonus disc packed with WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa 3 months before airing.

22	* FakeBrit: Private's VA, James Patrick Stuart, is from California and is only half-British. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] during "Hard Boiled Eggy" when Skipper notes Eggy picked up "an adorably fake British accent" from Private.
23	** Mason's VA is American, and according to Private, Mason himself is secretly Canadian.
24	* KidsMealToy: UsefulNotes/McDonalds sold a set of eight figures of the Penguins in 2010, one of which was a periscope. Some of the toys featured in this promotion were re-issued in 2014 as a tie-in with the ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' spin-off film.
25	* TheOriginalDarrin: In the French dub, Creator/BorisRehlinger reprises his role as King Julien from the first movie, having been replaced by Michaël Youn in the sequels.
26	* TheOtherDarrin: Among the eight voiced characters common to the films and the TV series (as mentioned, Phil doesn't talk), four have the same voice actors across the board: Tom [=McGrath=] (Skipper), Creator/JohnDiMaggio (Rico), Andy Richter (Mort) and Conrad Vernon (Mason).
27	** [=DreamWorks=] staff members Chris Miller (Kowalski) and Chris Knights (Private) were respectively replaced by Creator/JeffBennett and James Patrick Stuart.
28	** Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson took over Maurice's role from Cedric the Entertainer.
29	** Danny Jacobs replaced Sacha Baron Cohen as King Julien.
30	** In an interesting case of both this and RoleReprise, Alex's appearance in the "Return Of The Revenge Of Dr. Blowhole" movie has Wally Wingert reprise his role from the first Madagascar video game, replacing his movie actor Ben Stiller.
31	* RoleReprise:
32	** Tom [=McGrath=], John [=DiMaggio=], Andy Richter, and Conrad Vernon return to voicing Skipper, Rico, Mort, and Mason.
33	** Alex's appearance in the "Return Of The Revenge Of Dr. Blowhole" movie has Creator/WallyWingert reprise his role from the first ''VideoGame/{{Madagascar}}'' video game. In the Latin American Dub he's voiced by his voice actor from the movies, Creator/RicardoTejedo.
34	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show's cancellation was the result of Nickelodeon heads wanting to invest more in original programming rather than licensed material. ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' and ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'' (also [=DreamWorks=]-based) suffered a similar fate.
35	* SimilarlyNamedWorks: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' have episodes titled "It's About Time"; all three episodes deal with time travel in a sense.
