History Trivia / NightmareNed

* StillbornFranchise: With both a video game and a TV show made, it seems Disney really hoped this franchise would take off. Not to mention a lot of passion and effort was put into this project, ESPECIALLY the video game. Unfortunately, it was never able to find the right audience.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes / ScrewedByTheNetwork: Disney [[OldShame isn't very happy with this series]], apparently. The reruns never went to Creator/ToonDisney, and its theme song wasn't included on the Creator/OneSaturdayMorning soundtrack album. As of 2022, it isn't even on Creator/DisneyPlus, and only time will tell if it gets added.
** By the way, this series is one of the most interesting cases of this trope because there are virtually no tapes to circulate. Neither torrents nor decent quality digital episodes exist, and only about 10 poor quality episodes out of 12 have surfaced the internet. It is quite possibly the rarest Disney show in existence.
