Trivia / Ned's Newt

• Acting for Two:
  • Carolyn Scott voices Ned's mother and his schoolteacher Miss Bunn.
  • Colin O'Meara voices Doogle, one of Ned's classmates, and Ned's cousin Renfrew.
• Colbert Bump: The reason many American 90s kids probably heard of this series (if they didn't watch its short-lived Fox Kids run) was through a preview of the series' VHS tapes that was on various tapes for Nickelodeon shows (Paramount distributed the show on VHS).
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer:
  • For some reason, there is an impression floating around the Internet that Cartoon Network created or aired this show. This may come from the fact that this cartoon aired on CN's Latin American, UK and Scandinavian feeds.
  • It's also been mistaken for a Nickelodeon show, due to the preview for the show's VHS releases being on various Nickelodeon VHS tapes.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Tracey Moore as Ned. Oddly, most of the other boys are played by (adult) male actors.
• The Other Darrin: Towards the very end of the show's run, Harland Williams simply stopped showing up at the voice recording sessions, without explanation. Accordingly, Williams was replaced by impressionist extraordinaire Ron Pardo as Newton for the last four episodes.
• Technology Marches On: In "Et Tu, Newte?", Ned mentions that, while sleeping over at the Plucks' place, he and Doogle rented "Frankenstein Goes Head-Curling Part 2: The Final Bonspiel" on DVD, then Doogle spent the rest of the night trying to figure out how to rewind it. This was due to the fact that the DVD format was new at the time, and most people still owned VHS tapes.
