Trivia

• A revival of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons concept with 39 original cartoon shorts will be on Nickelodeon in 2007, under the name Random! Cartoons[1].
• Two Oh Yeah! characters are also in feature development at Paramount.
• At the end of the first season, two cartoons known as "Fathead" and "Planet Kate" were proclaimed "Nicktoons of Tomorrow" and given extended times as well as their own credits. Despite this, neither show was picked up as a series or continued in any known form.
• Nine of the ten Fairly OddParents shorts were later incorporated into episodes of the regular series' first season, the lone exception being "Where's the Wand?" – When shown on The Fairly OddParents, Timmy's voice is re-dubbed to have his current voice, Tara Strong, in place of his former voice, Mary Kay Bergman. The unedited versions of these shorts have recently been released on several Fairly OddParents DVDs.
• All but two of the ChalkZone shorts were later incorporated as episodes of the regular series it spun off into. "ChalkDad" and "ChalkRain" were never featured on the show, even though some shots could be seen in the show's opening sequence. However, since the first two shorts show Rudy as two years younger than he usually appears, they were shown as flashbacks in two separate episodes.
