Go To

  • Amateur Cast: The Polish dub featured lesser known Warsaw-based actors as the Awesomizers. Due to the show having no spoken or onscreen dub credits whatsover, the voice actors' names weren't known until the main cast list from the dubbing studio has surfaced in late 2012 note .
  • Bad Export for You: Sort of. The episodes on the Australian DVDs are the Edited for Syndication versions with a shortened theme song and each 11-minute segment split into seperate episodes.
  • Development Gag: "The Truth About Twitchy" is a remake of the unaired pilot and makes some references to it.
  • Executive Meddling: Early episodes had a character named Howard who had a different job in every appearance, but Disney made them to stop using him because it was "too weird".
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The only DVDs are two volumes in Australia containing the first twelve 22-minute episodes.
    • The mini episodes have only been made available on the official site and Disney XD UK's YouTube channel. The site has since closed down and Disney XD UK's YouTube channel is region-locked.
  • Recycled Script: "The Truth About Twitchy" is an altered version of the unaired pilot.
  • Screwed by the Network: Disney XD threw the show into a Saturday morning time slot, where new episodes aired as quickly as possible with no promotion. Once the final episode aired, it was quickly pulled off the channel with no indication of reruns or a second season.
  • Woman of a Thousand Voices: Tabitha St. Germain voices almost every female character.
  • What Could Have Been: The show was originally planned to be called Team Awethum!!! and later "A" for Awesome.
    • The designs were slightly different in the unaired pilot.
    • Originally, Les was named Colon Clump and he was around the same height as Thera.
    • The unaired pilot depicts Thera as more of a Cheerful Child and Soapbox Sadie than she is in the series.
    • Noam is much more stoic in the unaired pilot.
    • In the pilot, Thera liberated Twitchy from an animal testing lab, but in the show he escaped on his own, as stated in "The Truth About Twitchy".
