message: Does anyone have information on the shows creators?
:Bruce Timm designed the main character, but left early in development. More importantly, is there any source for that Jim Carrey film version thing? I very much doubt it, so I'll remove it. --Nick R 21:31, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: In the episode titles, one of the segments is a mini-feature called "Fatman and Boy Blubber". However, in the show, it's "Fatman and Blubber Boy". Correction?
Well in the theme song it was definitely "Boy Blubber", a pun on "boy wonder."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.206.153 (talk) 03:04, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

message: "The computer bug that gives Freakazoid his powers is a reference to the Pentium FDIV bug." 
What similarities does the bug that gave him his powers have with that bug? TastemyHouse 21:53, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  By bug, they mean computer glitch. It's a joke based on an early version of the Pentium chip which had a mathematical flaw in its logic, potentially creating unstable results. --Happylobster 16:17, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, but how would the computer bug that gave Freakazoid his powers be at all a reference to, specifically, the Pentium FDIV bug?  It's a reference to computer bugs, obviously, as it SAYS it's a computer bug, but I haven't seen anything that seems to imply it's a reference to the FDIV bug itself... 24.67.253.203 04:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's almost definitely indirectly referring to the FDIV bug, since if I'm not mistaken, at the time this aired the Pentium Bug was a big thing in the mainstream press.  Furthering this idea is that it was called the "Pinacle Chip" which is similar enough to "Pentium" for the joke to work in the era the episode was originally broadcast. -- Fortyseven 21:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: While the Madman influence is fairly plausible (and actually recognized by Madman's creator), the Deadpool_%28comics%29 parallels seem somewhat of a stretch. Check out the dates of the two series: Freakazoid! began its run in 1995, and Deadpool's long-running self-titled series, from which much of his 'zany' character development stems, appeared in 1997. The Freakazoid! article seems to imply that Deadpool was a possible influence on Freakazoid!, though, if anything, it was the other way around. If we can find any articles, interviews or otherwise, dealing with this to justify it, that'd be good, but otherwise, it just seems speculatory?--Totenkreuz 17:09, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to burst your bubble here, but Deadpool's first appearance was in 1991's New Mutants, and he has since been starring in several limited series before he got his 1997 ongoing series. However, I agree that Deadpool and Freakazoid barely have anything in common. Cyanid (talk) 09:02, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's correct that Freakazoid's hometown is Washington, DC. Aside from the fact that the streets of DC look quite different from whatever town Freakazoid calls home, none of the major DC landmarks have ever been portrayed in the show to be in the city that Freakazoid calls home. Sure, there's the line "rescues Washington DC" in the theme song, but that doesn't mean he lives there. It's the capital, after all - there's no reason to believe that he needs to live there in order to have a reason to save it.
Can someone provide evidence that Freakazoid and/or Dexter Douglas call Washington home? If not, I'm gonna delete the line.

message: It could be mentioned that a script for an episode introducing/creating Freakazette had been approved for season 3, but of course the green light for season 3 never came.
Perhaps also mention other villain characters that are presented in the first episode but never given an episode: Eye of Newt (a giant eyeball that somehow resembles Newt Gingrich), Booger Beast (well, it did have a brief segment).  And maybe a mention of that skeletal gunfighter villain who appears a few times in the show but is never named.  (Does anyone know what his name was going to be?)

message: Adding a music section to this page would make the article more informative.  Music was an integral part of this series.  I suggest the following:
The music for Freakazoid! was written by supervising composer Richard Stone and his team, consisting of Steve Bernstein, Julie Bernstein, Gordon Goodwin and Tim Kelly.  Stone won a Daytime Emmy with lyricist (and senior producer) Tom Ruegger for the main title song in 1996.  Julie Bernstein was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Original Song in 1998 for the song "Invisibo" from the episode Freak-a-Panel.

message: Where did the name "Kid Carrion" come from? It's never mentioned in the show (as the entry notes). I checked the featurette on the DVD that displays some of the original Bruce Timm model sheets, and while designs for this character are seen, his name is never visible. The only other sources to have picked it up online likely plundered it from Wikipedia's entry.
Is this just a cute name some fan made up, or is there an actual source for it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.143.205.216 (talk) 11:25, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
