History Trivia / TheModifyers

* NamesTheSame: Katz has the same name as Katz, the ArchEnemy of WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: The co-creator, Chris Reccardi, died on May 2nd, 2019, finally killing what little chance the cartoon had for going beyond the pilot.

** There are many theories as to why Nickelodeon never picked the series up. One is that it was passed over in favor of ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'' or ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard''. Another is that Nick thought a female protagonist would put it in the GirlShowGhetto, and thus wouldn't have a broad enough appeal to sell toys to both genders. The third theory is that the artstyle was too similar to ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot''. The simplest theory, though, is that the series was a dramedy with an overarching plot, at a time when Nick favored StatusQuoIsGod comedies, and such series wouldn't become popular until the advent of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' (ironically a show that Nick had passed on three times for its more risque content, something rival Creator/CartoonNetwork had no issue with).
