** As one of the show's producers and writers, Creator/PaulRugg voices Freakazoid. It was more of a fluke, as no suitable actor had been found and Rugg was just trying to provide an example of how the voice should sound. However, Creator/StevenSpielberg heard the performance and thought it was great, so Rugg inadvertently got the role.

** An interesting case with the VR game depicted in "Virtual Freak". VR came and went in the 1990's and was considered a passing fad due to enormous amounts of equipment and money required, not to mention Nintendo's UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy being an unmitigated disaster. Then came the New Tens and the resurgence of VR with new arcades popping up featuring set-ups almost identical to the one depicted in a now-twenty-year-old cartoon show.

** The original idea was for the series to be a fairly straightforward superhero show with comedic overtones (ComicBook/TheJoker as a good guy) with Creator/BruceTimm in charge. Creator/StevenSpielberg, however, asked for a full-blown comedy. Timm bowed out, as he honestly thought he wouldn't do a full-blown comedy concept justice. This is perhaps a textbook example of ExecutiveMeddling ''improving'' a show. (The ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries New Batman Adventures]]'' episode "Beware The Creeper" is a glimpse of how Timm and Creator/PaulDini would have done ''Freakazoid!'')
