  - Wang animated three Season 3 episodes under their own supervision^[1], looking noticeably tighter then when supervised by Dave Marshall.
  - AKOM switched from Warren Marshall to Dev Ramsaran between the first and second season (Dev would also oversee the studio for Animaniacs).
Hey, It's That Guy!: Bruce Timm was a character designer--Elmyra and Montana Max in particular have a lot of Bruce Timm characteristics.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Kath Soucie, Charlie Adler, Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen... the list goes on.
- The voice of Shirley the Loon is Gail Matthius, a former cast member of Saturday Night Live's sixth season (1980-1981) headed by Jean Doumanian. In the 1990s, Matthius did voicework in kids' cartoons, often playing moms with that stereotypical Upper Midwestern accent, doncha know or Valley Girls that, like, speak, like this and stuff (which Matthius did play on SNL and the short-lived syndicated sketch show Laugh Trax).
- Danny Cooksey, the voice of Montana Max, was Sam McKinney in the last two seasons of Diff'rent Strokes. He was also the teenaged John Connor's hoodlum friend in Terminator2 and Budnick on Nickelodeon's Salute Your Shorts.
- The Japanese dub has a top-notch cast as for almost all the characters:
  - Buster is Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Frieza
  - Babs is Noa Izumi, Angel in KOF 2001 and Myojin Yahiko
  - Plucky is Spike Spiegel and Ryoji Kaji
  - Fifi is Ruri Hadou and Sayoko Mishima in the OVAs
  - Montana Max is Maria Tachibana
  - Furrball is Chang Wufei and Chosokabe Motochika
  - Sweetie Bird is Excellen Browning and Mihoshi
  - Little Sneezer is Rei Ayanami, Yui Ikari, and Lina Inverse and later replaced by Pikachu and Tony Tony Chopper
  - Shirley The Loon is Kaguya Sumeragi and Tifa Adill (And also counts as a creepy case of Harsher in Hindsight and Hilarious in Hindsight at the same time since her Japanese VA was Plucky's VA wife)
  - Arnold the Pitbull is Akuma and M.Bison
  - Concord Condor is Nikolai Sokolov
Keep Circulating the Tapes: A couple episodes in season 1 were released edited on DVD, such as "Tiny Toons Music Television" (missing a brief bit where Buster and Babs announce a number for the viewers to call) and "Son of the Wacko World of Sports" (missing the title cards for some strange reason). Also, "Looniversity Days" featured two versions of the same scene, the latter with re-take animation by Jon McClenahan. Only the original animation made it to DVD, meaning Jon's version of that scene is lost.
Name's the Same: Buster Bunny is not to be confused with that other bunny named Buster.
Official Fan-Submitted Content: The script for "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian".
The Other Darrin: Buster's voice actor was changed from Charlie Adler to John Kassir for the following episodes: "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special", "The Return of Batduck", "Spring Break Special", and "Night Ghoulery".
- Rob Paulsen voiced Furrball on "Duck Trek" instead of Frank Welker.
- Hamton's dad, Wade Pig, was either voiced by Jonathan Winters ("How I Spent My Vacation") or by Joe Alaskey ("Hog-Wild Hamton", "Toons From the Crypt").
Promoted Fangirls: "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian" was actually a spec script written by three girls from Virginia. The producers liked it so much, they decided to greenlight it -- and have TMS do it.
- The girls had mailed their scripts to Steven Spielberg, and the envelope accidentally got to him without being vetted by his secretaries. It was fortunate that he liked the story and decided to produce the episode with full credit to the fan writers, avoiding the possibility that they might try to sue him. This is referenced by the Credits Gag at the end of that episode, "Send your unsolicited scripts, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: SOME OTHER SHOW".
Talking to Herself: Cree Summer voiced both Elmyra and Mary Melody, though they talked to each other very rarely.
Vaporware: Tiny Toons: Defenders Of The Universe, a PlayStation 2 game of the series that was being made in the early 2000s by Treasure under contract from Conspiracy, but was cancelled due to Conspiracy supposedly going bankrupt and losing the rights to the series before the game was released. The game wasn't completely lost, however, as a ROM of the beta was leaked, and can be played on a PlayStation 2 emulator.
What Could Have Been: John Kricfalusi, Bob Camp and Jim Smith wrote a Halloween-themed epsiode of Tiny Toons while waiting for Nickelodeon to greenlight Ren and Stimpy. It was never finished as a Tiny Toons episode, but Spumco remade it as the Ren & Stimpy episode "Haunted House".
- A Speedy Gonzales equivalent named Lightning Rodriguez was planned and even got minor blink-and-you'll-miss-'em cameos in two early episodes, but he never got a noteworthy appearance and was never named on the show.
- TTA never used the Raymond Scott piece "Powerhouse", heard in many Looney Tunes shorts. It always used a sound-alike.
