1* AllStarCast: The main cast features the voices of Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz, Creator/PamelaAdlon, Creator/KurtwoodSmith, Creator/NancySullivan, Creator/TomKenny, Creator/BillyWest, and Creator/CarlosAlazraqui.
2* CrossDressingVoices: Creator/PamelaAdlon does the voice of Andy.
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: It was impossible to view the show legally for a while until very recently. The show has not been seen on television since 2009 and never received an official complete home video release aside from 2 rare [=DVDs=] that only contained a few episodes, not even on digital storefronts like iTunes and Amazon. It was also not available through any streaming services and is noted as one of the few Creator/CartoonNetwork 2000s original series to have never aired on Creator/{{Boomerang}} or during the run of the 2012 Cartoon Planet revival block. It wasn't until late 2020 when the show finally averted this trope by being added to HBO Go via mewatch.sg, where all of the show's episodes are available to watch.
4* KidsMealToy: In 2007, UsefulNotes/McDonalds sold a set of eight toys based on this series, ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'', ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', and ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'', with each franchise having two characters. The ''Squirrel Boy'' toys were a spinning pencil topper of Rodney and a wind-up side-spinning figure of Leon.
5* TheOtherMarty: In the pilot "Kite Makes Right", Creator/RobPaulsen voiced Rodney. The series proper has him voiced by Creator/RichardHorvitz.
6* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Right after "Stranger Than Friction", the series got less and less schedule spots until it was removed from the lineup or at least aired in non-primetime hours, its new episodes being an exception. After its cancellation, the show returned to primetime hours in early 2008 as part of the Funny for Your Face block before disappearing a few months later. In February 2009, the series abruptly returned to the schedule for a brief amount of time, after an 8-month silence. It made its final appearance on the network the following month and then had pretty much all evidence of its existence swept under the rug by CN, with the only thing left of the show on their website having been the games (which had to be searched for and weren't displayed on the website's dropdown game selection).
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Everett Peck wanted Rodney to be voiced by Creator/RichardBurton, but since he died two decades prior, it was out of the question.
