Line #5 Trivia/Superbook2011


1	* AllStarCast: Most if not all of the actors in this series are well-known across other media. The bulk of them are alumni of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and/or are famous for their roles in anime (particularly Shannon Chan-Kent, Michael Adamthwaite, and the Dobson brothers). ''MLP'' aside, we have the talents of Jan Rabson (who voices Professor Quantum here and is also known, hilariously enough, as the voice of [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry Larry Laffer]]) and Richard Newman (who voices Moses and has also voiced [[WesternAnimation/StreetFighter another famous and less-benevolent leader]]).
2	* TheCastShowoff: In "The Promise of a Child," Joy sings the titular song at the community Christmas pageant, with Chris and Gizmo providing instrumental back-up and a choir of kids giving back-up vocals. Shannon Chan-Kent, who is an experienced opera singer, provided Joy's singing voice in doing the lead vocals for that song. (As an aside, fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' will immediately know she'd previously shown her singing talent by providing Pinkie Pie's singing voice).
3	* CrossDressingVoices: Gizmo, who's identified as a male robot, and Todd, a male schoolmate at Valleyview Middle School, are both voiced by Creator/CathyWeseluck. Minor recurring character Sam, a heavyset boy, is voiced by Creator/KathleenBarr.
4	* DawsonCasting: Chris and Joy are tweens (with Joy expressedly stating in one episode that she's 12), and while we're not told how many years it's been since Gizmo's creation, he's likely the same age as or younger than both of them chronologically. Their respective voice actors were ''much'' older at the time of the show's debut; Sam Vincent was 40, Shannon Chan-Kent was 23, and Cathy Weseluck was the oldest at 41.
5	* DirectToVideo: The SpinOff series ''Gizmo Go!'', a [[RogerRabbitEffect partially-animated, partially-live action]] affair intended to impart simpler lessons upon younger viewers, which stars Gizmo, a human scientist named Miss Tina, and their robot friends at Quantum Labs.
