Trivia / Fish Hooks

Go To

  • Actor Allusion: Milo thinks Kyle Massey is a magical dude. Kyle Massey is his voice actor.
  • The Cast Showoff: Fish School Musical has Chelsea Kane show off her singing voice.
  • Celebrity Voice Actor:
  • Channel Hop: Since June 2014, reruns air exclusively on Disney XD, with some episodes being advertised as brand new. Latin America, Brazil, and Poland are also following suit, with previously unaired episodes being shown.
  • Children Voicing Children: Albert Glass was played by Atticus Shaffer, who was around 11-12 when he first did so.
  • Crossdressing Voices: Clamantha, a girl, is voiced by Alex Hirsch, a man.
  • Dawson Casting: Averted with Albert Glass, who is voiced by 12-year-old Atticus Shaffer. The other students are voiced by people who obviously wouldn't be in high school, 19-year-old Kyle Massey being the youngest.
  • The Danza: Finberley's name is a pun on her voice actor's name.
  • He Also Did: Oscar and Clamantha's voice actors, Justin Roiland and Alex Hirsch (both of whom wrote a few episodes), would go on to create Rick and Morty and Gravity Falls respectively. They even did minor voice work in each other's shows.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The series never had a DVD release, nor is there a plan to do so. The entire series is available on iTunes. It was on Disney XD on Demand and its WATCH Disney XD counterpart, but was removed in June 2017 for unknown reasons.
  • Missing Episode: Mr. Warburton said on his blog that there were 60 half-hours produced, but only 59 of them aired when the show finished. In addition, a crew-run blog has a screencap in a collage that has never been seen in the show. (First row from the left, second picture.)
  • The Other Darrin: From season 2 onward, Principal Stickler is voiced by Jeff Bennett.
  • Out of Order:
    • “Get a Yob!” was aired after “Principal Bea”, in which Nurse Fishington is revealed to be a robot built by Stickler, and she becomes the principal in his place by episode’s end.
    • "Assignment: Babies" was produced before "Labor of Love", where Mr. Baldwin gave birth and his children appeared in the former.
  • Production Posse: Many people who worked on the show also worked on SpongeBob SquarePants, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Chowder.
  • Schedule Slip:
    • In 2013, it hit a one-month long hiatus on Disney Channel US that wouldn't have been so bad... if it hadn't got extended another month thanks to a last-minute schedule change.
    • It didn't air on Disney Channel Benelux for nearly a year. (Mid-January 2013 to early-January 2014.)
    • It also took a year and a half for new episodes to air in Poland and South Korea in June 2014.
  • Screwed by the Network: Canada's Family Channel, despite good timeslots at first, stuck the show Weekend Mornings at 8:30AM, before eventually removing the show in 2012, for another The Suite Life on Deck showing.
    • Meanwhile in America, Disney Channel usually showed it at 5 in the morning, when kids are usually sleeping. First run episodes aired at a decent time slot, but reruns don't usually have any good times unless they're filler, and even then, Phineas and Ferb usually did the job. A few months after it ended, it eventually got replaced by another Phineas and Ferb rerun.
    • That said, to celebrate Noah Z's upcoming cartoon, Pickle and Peanut, they aired a marathon of Fish Hooks on August 7th, 2015. So they at least made up for it.
  • Short Run in Peru:
    • In Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania, the first 22-minute episode had aired around 2 months before its US airing.
    • In Latin America, Driving in Cars with Fish aired the day before its US airing.
    • Disney Channel UK aired Fish School Musical a week before it came on in the US. They also premiered "Milo on the Lam" 2 months before its US airing.
    • The last few episodes of the second season aired in Asia weeks, even months, before finally airing in its home country.
    • Taiwan got a handful of episodes early in August 2013. Those episodes were stretched from September 2013 to January 2014 in its US run.
    • Russia started airing episodes ahead of time in October 2013, eventually airing all episodes by December 19, 2013.
  • Unfinished Dub: In a number of EMEA markets, the show stopped airing new episodes during season 2 and did not dub season 3. When the show was made available in the US on Disney+, many of the European dubs that were present did not go past Fish Prom and skipped See Bea Ski/Night at the Loxbury for some reason. However, this has since been averted with all but the European Portuguese dub.
    • The French dub stopped airing in the middle of season 3. Its initial partial availability on Disney+ suggests that dubbing of this season was never finished. It would eventually be completed around 2021.
    • Averted for the German dub. Despite season 3 never airing in Germany, the dub was made fully available when the show launched on Disney+ in the US.
    • The Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish dubs were not complete when the show was first added onto the service, but all of season 3 and the missing season 2 episode were available prior to the service's launch in Scandinavia.
    • The Italian and European Spanish dubs would also complete the series at a later date, with Italy getting the season added to their local catalog on March 26, 2021.
  • What Could Have Been: These entries on a crew-run blog show the original premises of the series and how it went from there.
    • At one point, Angela was going to turn out to be a "werewolf-fish" during the early planning stages of Fish Prom.
    • The lyrics to the song "Final Exam" originally focused more on the fact that Milo was getting himself in life-threatening situations to study for the exam.
