Trivia / Downtown

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: A Promo DVD box set was released by Titmouse for "free" as shown on Chris Prynoski's blog (the blog is now deleted, and Chris reported in August 2022 that he no longer has any copies left), but the shipping cost was approximately $30 dollars, since MTV never released an official DVD of the show on its own and never intended to. The DVD box set includes creator commentary of each episode, background information of characters, and has hidden menu items that include the Titmouse promo video, interviews of the various people that inspired the creation of the characters, production information, and a video showing an event where the Titmouse crew apparently decide to destroy some old televisions and other objects as a stress reliving activity.
• Missing Episode: Episode 13, Trip or Treat, was not originally broadcast in the USA and the series ended originally with 12 Episodes. Eventually MTV did eventually broadcast the episode, late at night as a single marathon (supposedly in order to fulfill some sort of tax requirement, that they had to broadcast all the episodes per the DVD commentary) of all the series' 13 episodes with little fanfare. All the episodes, including the previously unreleased final episode of the series, are available via YouTube or via the Titmouse promo DVD.
• Shown Their Work: In the promo DVD released by Titmouse, there is video material of the various people the creator interviewed in order to get ideas for his characters, and it shows. Most notably is the character Serena who in one episode gets concert tickets from her friend who works at a strip club for a real life Goth band called Dead Can Dance (and not, as stated in the interview by the girl who correctly says isn't Goth, Marilyn Manson), and in one episode displays the disconnect between Goths and people who cosplay as vampires. For Alex's sister, they actually hired the woman they interviewed to be the voice of Chaka.
• What Could Have Been: As mentioned the episode commentary for Night Shift, minor character Lizzie was originally supposed to play a larger role in the series.
