* The main six kids in ''[[Recess]]'' had very different character desings at first. The first drawing of the kids from early 1996 had a much more realistic design, and the characters looked nothing like they usually do. In mid 1996, when the pilot was made, a "cuter" character design was made for them. But they all looked very different. T.J. looked nothing like he does in the series proper. He had messy dark brown hair, green eyes, a different outfit, and was much taller and skinnier. Gretchen had a darker hair color, and the blue part to her dress was white (or a very light yellow). Vince had a different hairstyle (heck, he went through ''ten'' before the creators decided on one) and a slightly different outfit, Spinelli had three pigtails, had a different outfit, and looked like a kindergartener, Mikey didn't look any different, and Gus was dropped. By the time the series aired, they brought Gus back, and everyone was re-designed.

** There's [http://www.chanth.com/mlp/mysterypony.html a pony] in [[My Little Pony TV Specials|the G1 pilot]] that doesn't look like any pony ever created. She has the colors of Confetti but the wrong Cutie Mark. So fans have decided that she's a scrapped design for a pony or an early design of either Confetti or Peachy.

** Storyboard sketches show that originally [[My Little Pony G 3|G3.5]] looked [http://kathycarrtoons.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-post_14.html more like] G3 except the characters were smaller; even their manes were the same. Eventually though they decided to change the proportions and gave everyone unique manes.

*** The whole show got started because [[Lauren Faust]] was pitching to Hasbro a cartoon based on her independent doll-line ''[[Milky Way and The Galaxy Girls]]''.

Imagine if ''Galaxy Girls'' got made and ''MLP'' was still in [[Dork Age|G3.5]], or someone else did the reboot.

*** One of the background characters (Mr. Greenhooves, an old stallion) was originally meant to have a corncob pipe to smoke real tobacco. The corncob pipe was part of a gag, as his pipe would overheat and randomly shoot popcorn while he minded his own business, but of course, the idea wasn't approved and the pipe was replaced with a hay straw.

The concept generated an overwhelingly positive response from [[Fandom Nickname|bronies]], wishing the episode had been made.
