Trivia / Ruby Gloom

• Adored by the Network: Somebody at Corus Entertainment must really like this show, because due to Canadian Content laws, it still reruns on Canadian kids channels owned by Corus more than a decade after it ended alongside many later productions, particularly on Nickelodeon's Canada feed, where its considered one of the channel's mainstays.
• Crossdressing Voices: Barbara Mamabolo as Boo Boo.
• No Export for You: The series never aired in the United States on regular television, with its only exposure being when Netflix picked up the show for a while in 2014 (six years after it ended in Canada). According to series creator Martin Hsu, apparently, American networks thought the show's concept was too frightening for children.
• Non-Singing Voice: Misery's sleep-singing voice is provided by Jeen O'Brien, who also sings the theme song.
• Only So Many Canadian Actors: Many familiar names in Canadian voice acting, like Stacey DePass, Adrian Truss, Scott McCord, and David Berni, as well as quite a number of notable Canadian actors better known for live-action roles like Sarah Gadon, Peter Keleghan, and Emily Hampshire.
• Playing Against Type: Compare the cynical, sensible, calm Nikki Wong to the optimistic, carefree, hyperactive Iris, and think about how Stacey DePass voices both characters.
• Real-Life Relative: Iris and Len are voiced by real-life married couple Stacey DePass and Jeremy Harris.
• Written by Cast Member: "Pet Poepulation" was written by Adrian Truss, who voices the character of Poe.
