## Trivia

* Unlike the original series, this incarnation is more of a serial with a continuing story much like *Samurai Jack*, but unlike *Samurai Jack*, it is more comedic and lighter.
	+ Despite being more family friendly, it is considered for some audiences as an adult show because of dark humor, adult jokes, hurtful words (such as censored) and violence, like *Cow and Chicken*/*I Am Weasel*, *Regular Show*, *Rocko's Modern Life*, *The Problem Solverz* and *Breadwinners*.
* Billy West originally had supposed to reprise the role as Lord Mousetoff, but he had rejected the deal and decided voicing Johnny instead, as well as reprising his other roles from the original series. Lord Mousetoff was voiced by Liam O'Brien instead in the sequel series.
