History Trivia / BobbysWorld

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Several video games based on the show were planned to be released by Creator/HiTechExpressions. The [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] version was [[VideoGame/BobbysWorld an action platformer]] with five different levels based on Bobby's fantasies, while the UsefulNotes/GameBoy version was a DolledUpInstallment of a cancelled ''Film/HomeAlone'' game called ''Home Alone 2: Kevin's Dream'', with Bobby in place of Kevin and Derek in place of Harry and Marv. A UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis game called ''It's Bobby's World'' was also planned, though it is unknown if it would have been a port of the SNES version modified to fit the Genesis' technical specifications or a completely different game. These games were never officially released due to Hi Tech Expressions going out of business by 1995, though roms of the SNES and Game Boy versions have been leaked and can be played through either emulation or reproduction cartridges.

** ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'': Bobby makes a brief appearance in Season 2, Episode 44, where Donato [=DeMarinis=] admits to being a fan of his show. The banker then brings [[RogerRabbitEffect an animated Bobby]] out to tempt him to take the deal. Creator/HowieMandel reprised his role as Bobby.

* DuelingWorks: In 1991, this show shared the same time slot as ''WesternAnimation/YoYogi'' did on Creator/{{NBC}}. ''Bobby's World'' won this duel, as it lasted a total of 81 episodes over the course of seven seasons, whereas ''Yo Yogi!'' only lasted thirteen episodes over the course of one season. Not helping ''Yo Yogi'''s case was that it aired on the lowest-rated Saturday Morning cartoon block at the time, which NBC abandoned in September of 1992 thanks to the combined failures of it, ''WesternAnimation/ProStars'', and ''WesternAnimation/WishKid''.

** Subverted. Creator/{{Disney}} briefly owned the series for a few years after acquiring the Fox Kids catalog in 2001 (prior to that, the show had a few Fox VHS tapes and had been rerun on [[Creator/ABCFamily Freeform]] when it was Fox Family), but after airing the show briefly on foreign Fox Kids/Jetix networks, Disney promptly sold the rights back to Howie Mandel in 2004. Mandel promptly got to work on putting the show on DVD, and a few short-lived individual episode compilations later, a complete series box set of the series commenced in 2012, as an Amazon.com exclusive. The show can also be seen on Creator/{{Kabillion}} on Demand and [=YouTube=]. Surprising treatment for a Fox Kids show that hasn't been seen for a while.
