• Actor Allusion:
  • One of Beakman's occasional exclamations was "Zaloom!"
  • A last-season segment on sound frequency had a Blues Brothers motif. Senta Moses (aka Phoebe) got her start in movies as a dancing extra in The Blues Brothers.
• Dawson Casting: Averted with Josie (Alanna Ubach was 16) and Liza (Eliza Schneider was 17), and played straight with Phoebe (Senta Moses was 23).
• Hey, It's That Sound:
  • Apparently, the crew were avid Scrabble fans (producer Marijane Miller was a contestant on Scrabble).
  • You might note the similarities some of the background music has to that of Rugrats. Denis Hannigan and Rusty Andrews composed background music for both shows.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Don Penguin's voiced by Alan Barzman, who also did the Energizer Bunny commercials ("They keep going and going and...").
• I Am Not Spock: Paul Zaloom's other main job is as a political puppeteer... and those shows are very much not safe for kids...
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Unlike most examples, it's been played enough times that there are plenty of tapes to be circulated, plus Netflix now offers the (almost) entire series.
• Missing Episode: Downplayed with a missing segment. In the Beakmania segment in the "Camels / Density" episode, depending on the version, you either get a "Doctor & Meekman" segment on strep throat, or a "Wide Beak-World of Sports" segment explaining how Michael Jordan can look like he's defying gravity. Syndicated reruns give the former; the Netflix version has the latter.
