* CreatorsOddball: "Journey to EPCOT Center: A Symphonic History" is notable in that it features no commentary other than voiceover in certain segments (taken from archival interviews, or read out by voice actors). Most ''Defunctland'' videos feature at least Kevin's commentary, and even ''Live from the Space Stage: A Halyx Story'' -- which is otherwise a traditional documentary -- featured him as an interviewer. Kevin acknowledges that "Journey to EPCOT Center" is very different than his usual content, and is meant to portray the story in a more visually engaging manner.

* ExecutiveMeddling: According to Kevin, ''Series/TheWubbulousWorldOfDrSeuss'' was ultimately moved to Nick Jr. for its second season and {{Retool}}ed along the lines of a traditional PreschoolShow; this also resulted in changes like the Cat in the Hat going from a trickster like his book counterpart was to a kind and excited host and other Dr. Seuss characters being DemotedToExtra.



* ScrewedByTheNetwork: In the episode on ''The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss'', Kevin stated that the show was abruptly cancelled after two seasons for unknown reasons.

According to the description of the trope (now renamed Fandom VIP) "it is not to be confused with a Big Name / Important Person who turns out to be a Fan - otherwise known as One Of Us"


* BigNameFan:
** [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], of all people, has mentioned that he's a fan of the series, name-dropping the series in his review of ''Action Point'' (recommending viewers to the [=DL=] episode on Action Park, which is what the movie is based on, instead of the film, which he panned).
** Even more surprisingly, Wrestling/ZackRyder has gone on record saying that he loves the series, and has asked to have a debate with Kevin, [[https://youtu.be/p_Vv8NlX180 which he eventually got.]]
*** Seems like wrestlers really enjoy the show, as Wrestling/CodyRhodes tweeted [[https://twitter.com/CodyRhodes/status/1008832709320376320 this.]]
** Vinny of WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} fame has stated that he's watched the show and enjoys it.
** After he covered ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'', Kevin scored an interview with [=Noel McNeal=], the puppeteer behind Bear himself, who was delighted by the episode. Tyler Bunch, who performed Treelo and Pop, also liked the review and left a comment on the [=YouTube=] upload.
** WebVideo/RTGame also seems to be a fan, as evident by him including the web series on the wall of quality content when he forced his fans [[ItMakesSenseInContext to recreate Youtube itself]].

Never Trust A Title isn't trivia...?


* NeverTrustATitle: One of the Creator/JimHenson videos is titled ''The Curse of Series/SesameStreet''. No mention of TheProductionCurse is made there. The "curse" that the title refers to involves Henson being pigeonholed into being a children's entertainer, rather than a general one that he wanted to be.
