Trivia:

In the first season, the show used the animation process called "Squiggle Vision" that debuted in "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist" (1995).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the third season episode titled "Broken Dreams", the lifeguard calls Mr. Lynch "Donald Lynch". In the same episode, the name "Ronald Lynch" appears printed on Mr. Lynch's personal check (stolen by McGuirk).

Quotes:

Coach McGuirk: I actually got into a fight last week.
Brendon: Yeah? Who'd you fight?
Coach McGuirk: That kid David over there... yeah, he can't fight.

Very funny cartoon show.

I love almost every episode of this series. The characters are all great and I always get a good laugh out of watching the show. Of course, if I had to pick a favorite character it would have to be the soccer coach Jon McGuirk, but all of them are great...I also like the character of Jason a bunch too. The show revolves around this kid who makes his own movies in his basement. Simple, yet effective. They also show scenes on the soccer team, where the McGuirk coached bunch loses nearly every game. Just a nice, funny show to watch.
