Trivia

 * Adored by the Network: Nickelodeon has been treating Brothers and Monsters like how it treats SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Danny Phantom, Avatar: The Last Airbender, TBD during its original run, as they would air the show on a regular basis and TBD. Nowadays, Brothers and Monsters reruns still occasionally air on Nickelodeon.
 * Channel Hop: [streaming rights from Netflix to CBS All Access (Paramount+)]
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: Stan is voiced by Grey Griffin despite being a boy.
 * Dawson Casting: TBD
 * Executive Meddling: TBD
 * God Does Not Own This World: [all elements of the series belonging to Viacom(CBS)]
 * Playing Against Type:
 * John DiMaggio was mainly known by then for voicing arrogant and TBD characters such as, and  as Squints is usually more friendly and TBD, not that different from  he'd voice some years later.
 * Rodger Bumpass plays Slim, who is rather more chill and friendly compared to other characters he voiced such as, , , ,.
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions: TBD
 * Talking to Himself: Grey Griffin voices both Stan and his crush Jacqueline.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * When Brothers and Monsters was first pitched, it was a LOT different. It was originally a magical girl show about a preteen girl in chibi-style who was beginning to learn magic, while Dave, Kurt, Stan, and Squints were all minor characters. However, due to noticing there were several girl-oriented shows airing at the time and considering that the brothers and Squints would provide a more interesting concept to attract both male and female audiences, Matt revamped the entire concept and made it what it is now.
 * However, Samantha eventually became a supporting character in the definitive pitch before it was greenlit by Nickelodeon since he felt she was a good concept that shouldn't be wasted and she would still be a good fit in the retooled project.
