** Also averted when it and the rest of CBS' animated lineup were abruptly canceled in one fell swoop.

** Let's not forget that the Genie from "Airborne Odie" was voiced by the same guy who played [[Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld Benjy Benjamin]], [[TheLoveBug Tennessee Steinmetz]], and [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Scuttle]].

* AdoredByTheNetwork: It's was like this on CBS since its first day.
** Tooncast and Teletoon Retro adore the show as well. Tooncast has had it since 2006, while Teletoon retro airs it three times a day.
*** In the past, Nickelodeon adored the show more than TinyToonAdventures when it was on Nick in the Afternoon by airing it back to back for an hour.

** Comedian KevinMeaney did Aloysius Pig, Orson's cousin who works for ([[{{Sting}} Da Dum!]]) The Network.
* NeverTrustATrailer: Most commercials and promos for the show do not mention U.S. Acres.

** TressMacNeille showed up several times in the later seasons, typically as a GirlOfTheWeek

** The show was broadcast in Finland in a format that dropped the U.S. Acres segments but kept the opening titles. It was bizarre having characters in the titles that never appeared in the show.
** Also, it appears the Japanese version dropped the segments featuring US Acres on both of their dubs of the show!

* EditedForSyndication: And ''how''; most of the Quickies were edited out of The Program Exchange's prints, as was the original theme song, replaced with the "We're Ready To Party" theme song used in seasons 3-6. The last three seasons weren't seen in reruns after the show ended its run either, as {{CBS}} declined to sell them the rights.

** CBS also wanted to cut the budgets of Garfield and all it's other animated shows, the creators refused to give in and decided to end the show rather then letting it suffer from the cutbacks.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: As mentioned above, ABC wanted to cut the show's budget despite the fact that the show was still pulling in strong ratings, the creators wouldn't stand for it and decided to end the show rather then letting it suffer from the cutbacks.

* ExecutiveMeddling: During the seventh and final season of the show, the series' traditional [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92tL-xwMAdY "We're Ready to Party"]] intro was replaced with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6vL48DHcKw a rap-like intro]] that everyone ranging from fans of the show to the creators hated--the rap intro was only used on the original CBS airings. It was not aired with the series internationally and as a result does not appear on the series' DVD boxsets (which use the international version of the series). The rap intro had to have been a decision by CBS.

* CrossDressingVoices: Desirée Goyette as Nermal may be one of the most obvious examples in animation history.

** [[{{UHF}} Victoria Jackson]] played Garfield's on-again-off-again love interest, Penelope Pussycat.

** What, no mention of [[TheLittleMermaid Ursula]] as Jon's grandma?
