Trivia / Squirrel Boy

• All-Star Cast: The main cast features the voices of Richard Steven Horvitz, Pamela Adlon, Kurtwood Smith, Nancy Sullivan, Tom Kenny, Billy West, and Carlos Alazraqui.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Pamela Adlon does the voice of Andy.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: 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 Cartoon Network 2000s original series to have never aired on 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.
• Kids' Meal Toy: In 2007, McDonald's sold a set of eight toys based on this series, Camp Lazlo, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and My Gym Partner's a Monkey, 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.
• The Other Marty: In the pilot "Kite Makes Right", Rob Paulsen voiced Rodney. The series proper has him voiced by Richard Horvitz.
• Screwed by the Network: 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).
• What Could Have Been: Everett Peck wanted Rodney to be voiced by Richard Burton, but since he died two decades prior, it was out of the question.
