Dilbert (animation)/Trivia

Trivia about  includes:


 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Several of the voice actors are well-established, as are some who aren't commonly known for voice acting but can still be easily recognized from their many live-action roles, but the Garbage Man is voiced by Maurice LaMarche, who is in many, many animated works and games and can be recognized from the Garbage Man's voice as such varied characters as The Brain, Kif Kroker and Morbo, and Abraham Lincoln.
 * Dilbert is Kevin Arnold all grown up.
 * Dogbert is Chris Monsanto.
 * Ratbert, Asok, and Zimbu the monkey are SpongeBob SquarePants and Starscream. Zimbu even sounds EXACTLY like SpongeBob.
 * Catbert is George Costanza.
 * The Pointy-Haired Boss is Principal Jindrake.
 * Screwed by the Network: Despite the show's high ratings (by UPN's standards), the show was canceled due to the network's decision to focus entirely on minority groups (primarily African-Americans) in the station's line-up, notably the show that aired right before Dilbert, Shasta McNasty. The fact that UPN went off the air shortly afterward shows how good an idea that was.
 * For its second season, the series had also been moved from its fairly successful Monday night timeslot to Thursdays - up against NBC's then-quite powerful lineup.
