1* ActingForTwo:
2** Creator/IanJamesCorlett voices Odbald, Dennis, Mr. Fleeman, and many other minor characters in the show.
3** Creator/TabithaStGermain voices both Sandi and Grandma Kelley.
4** Craig and Nash, two teens Kyle hangs out with, are both voiced by Creator/TrevorDevall.
5* AdoredByTheNetwork: The series was one of Creator/{{YTV}}'s flagship shows during its time, with the series receiving a lot of promotion and some good airing times. The title character also appeared in quite a lot of YTV's promotional material for big events, including hosting movie marathons and holiday specials, including one for Canada Day where he met WesternAnimation/YvonOfTheYukon, and the series ended up running for a successful 63 episodes, something rarely heard of for Canadian animated series then and now. In fact, reruns of the show continued on Canadian television for years after the series ended and still occasionally pop up from time to time.
6* ColbertBump: WebVideo/NitroRad and [=TheCartoonGamer8000=]'s videos on nostalgic Canadian animation gave this series a minor one, as they both go into significant detail about the series and its most notable points.
7* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
8** For whatever reason, a lot of online sources, such as Website/{{Wikipedia}}, state the series premiered in April 2005, when in actuality the series officially premiered in January 2005.
9** Descriptions for the episode "Doofus" [[note]]Which is about Ian filming Korey doing dangerous stunts in a ''Series/{{Jackass}}''-style show.[[/note]] on episode guide lists (such as the old [=YTV=] site) are completely inaccurate to the actual episode. Instead, they describe the episode as having Ian signing his family up for a "parent swap" show à la ''Series/WifeSwap''.[[note]]This could've been an episode idea that was planned at one point, but scrapped in the script phase and replaced by "Doofus".[[/note]]
10* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode:
11** According to Ian James Corlett, his favorite episode of the series is "Ken Kelley and the Keyboard Factory".
12** Creator/RichardIanCox, Ian's voice actor, has stated that his favorite episode is "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", calling it the funniest episode of the series.
13* CrossDressingVoices: In the French dub, Ian was voiced by a female actress (Véronique Fyon). Tyrone was also voiced by an actress in the European Spanish dub (Alazne Erdozia).
14* TheDanza: Does middle names counts? That's because Ian is voiced by Richard Ian Cox.
15* DeletedRole: The credits for "Little Camp of Horrors" list Sandi and Tyrone in the credits yet they don't appear in the episode, suggesting there was a deleted scene featuring them.
16* DeletedScene: "Hurry for Hollywood" had several scenes removed from the final episode, which can be seen in the DVD extra features and in a music video, including a scene were the Kelley family go see some cows and one were the Kelley family is on a roller coaster.
17* DescendedCreator: Odbald, Dennis, and various other characters are voiced by series creator Ian James Corlett.
18* EditedForSyndication: International dubs of "Hockey Night in Burnaby" remove "[[Music/StompinTomConnors The Hockey Song]]" and replace it with instrumental music.
19* TheOtherDarrin:
20** Mr. Greeble was originally voiced by Creator/TyOlsson in his first few appearances, before being replaced by Creator/PeterKelamis.
21** For the Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese dubs, the entire cast of both dubs got replaced due to a change in studios. In the Spanish dub's case, it switched from being dubbed in Venezuela to Argentina.
22* ReferencedBy: In the LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek ''Held Hostage'', Michelle Renee's daughter watches the show.
23* ScrewedByTheNetwork: During its run on Creator/{{Qubo}}, it was removed and had a similar formula to Creator/{{Spike|TV}}'s ''This Just In''. Unlike that show, Qubo gave it another chance on its Night Owl block.
24* UnspecifiedRoleCredit: While the first two seasons list the voice actors with the characters they played, the third season just lists the actors with no characters listed.
25* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
26** As shown in early production material, the show was originally going to be co-produced and distributed by Decode Entertainment, now known as Creator/WildBrain, instead of Creator/{{Nelvana}}.
27** In early concepts, Ian was originally 11 years old and was going to be aware he was in a TV show and BreakTheFourthWall often. He also had a notebook in which he sketched out story ideas.
28* WorkingTitle: ''Little Ian''.
