{{Trivia|date=July 2014}} |
|||
1. Another World |
|||

|||
* Sally is the first girl and first Shapie overall to sing their song. |
|||
* Sarah is the first girl to sing her song second. |
|||
* Rex is the first guy overall to sing his song, and the first one to sing third. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Sally's song is in an episode with Sarah and Rex's songs. This is also the first episode where Sarah's song is in an episode with Rex's song. |
|||
* Tammy is the first girl and first Shapie to be found (she was found in Dinosaur World). |
|||
* Paul's voice is higher only in this episode. |
|||
* Zack's sister, Lauren, is revealed to be the owner of the Shapies before Zack. |
|||
* This is the only episode in Season 1 where Rex's song is sung without Sammy's song in the episode as well. |
|||
* Paul the Ball rides in Toot the Train with the other Shapies, but when the train re-emerges into Zac's bedroom, Paul is there to greet them. |
|||
* This marks the first appearances of Toot the Train, Dizzy the Cop Top, Uppity and Snooty, Mirror Man, Fair Bear, Gossip the Clock, and T-Rex. |
|||
* The other songs in this episode include "Toot the Train" and "Dinosaur Thump". |
|||
2. Bubble Trouble |
|||
* This is the first episode to feature Bob, Paul and Tammy's songs. |
|||
* This is the first time Bob's song is first, Paul's song is second and Tammy's song is third. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Bob's song is in an episode with Paul and Tammy's song. This is also the first episode where Paul's song is in an episode with Tammy's song. |
|||
* Paul's voice is lower in this episode and every episode after that. |
|||

3. Talent Quest |
|||
* This is the first episode to feature Sammy's song. |
|||
* This episode is a parody of ''American Idol'', which premiered. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Rex's song is sung second. |
|||
* This is the first time that a Shapie has sung their song again (in this case, Sally and Rex). |

|||
* This is the first episode where Sammy's song is in an episode with Sally and Rex's song. |
|||
* In the Rex The Rectangle video, one brief shot sees Rex's drum set bearing "The Shapies" logo. In all other exposures, the drum set has no wording. |
|||
* TV Head: I'm afraid the plug is already pulled. This station is off the air… |
|||
Maybe the break-up of the Talent Quest has undertones in the 1968 failure of LWT's ''We Have Ways of Making You Laugh''. Eric Idle called that series the first unaired show in LWT history. |

|||
* Big Bot wears a patch on the right eye when we first see him, but occasionally the patch is on his left eye. |
|||
* The trick wall in Robot Castle rotates to reveal a precipice, and only the width of Tammy Traingle's feet separates the precipice from the wall. Unless there is some centrifugal force acting on the rotating wall (and there is no such thing as centrifugal force), any of the Shapies would have lost footing during the wall rotation. |
|||
* For a split-second during the video Follow The Leader, the Toy Box can be seen in the background. Yet the Toy Box traditionally disappears whenever the Shapies are active |

|||
* Interestingly, in the '''It wasn't me''' song, they showed a bag with an American dollar sign instead of an Australian dollar sign. |

|||
* Perry Pyramid has a higher voice in this episode than in any other. |
|||
* Sarah Circle: I think we should take a few things for the treasure trail. We do need to be prepared. |
|||
The plot in this episode is rooted in the words of college basketball coach [[John Wooden]]: "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail." It was one of many sayings Wooden embedded in "The Pyramid of Success". |
|||
* This is the conclusion of Season 1 and the conclusion of the Search For Shapies arc. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''Find the Treasure.''' |
|||
14. The Big Gig |
|||
* This is the first episode of Season 2. |
|||
* This marks the first appearance of Mr. Boo and Chad. |
|||
* This marks the first time Perry's song is sung first. |
|||
* This is the only episode in Season 2 where Rex's song is sung without Sammy's song in the episode as well. |
|||
* This is the only episode in Season 2 where Perry's song is sung without Starry's song in the episode as well. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Bob's song is in an episode with Perry and Rex's songs. This is also the first episode where Perry's song is in an episode with Rex's song. |
|||
* Contrary to what Tammy Triangle thinks before the concert, Mr. Boo had identified himself by name when the Shapies first met him. Bob and Paul spoke the truth. |
|||
* Throughout Season 1, the title sequence and the Rex The Rectangle video suggested that lead guitarist Bob Oblong was right-handed. Now, in both this episode's concert and the closing moments of "Mirror Mirror", he is a left-handed guitarist. |
|||
* This is the first time Rex's song has been sung since "Doing the Robot", which was nine episodes ago, which is the longest gap between character songs in the series. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''The Shapies are Ten!.''' |
|||
15. Virtual Shapies |
|||
* This episode is based on ''Tron''. |
|||
* When the Shapies enter the video game, they talk about the lack of a button that would stop the game. But when they do hit the green button to start the game, that green triangle is next to a red square that apparently means stop. |
|||
* Paul the Ball says he has never won a game. Obviously he has not rolled downhill in a race with Sarah Circle. Physical laws state that all spheres rolling downhill, beat all disks rolling downhill. This was described in Episode 12 of Science Demonstrations. |
|||
* This has been considered by fans as one of the best episodes because of its animation and overall story about the computer game; it was also praised for the creative ideas that they made in the episode, such as the humor, the suspense and the Tron-based computer game as fans have made their own version of this episode on the Internet. |
|||
16. Boo |
|||
* Although this is a Halloween-themed episode, it airs regularly like the other episodes. |
|||
* Technically, this is the first episode to focus on Uppity and Snooty. |
|||
* This is the first episode where all the Shapies appear, but a few of them (Starry and Connie) don't get any lines. |
|||
* It is unknown how Mr. Boo got into the dollhouse, how the other Shapies fit into the dollhouse, or how Mr. Boo got all the noises into the basement. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''The Haunted.''' |
|||
17. The Little Green Men |
|||
* This marks the first appearance of Urkel. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Connie's song is sung second and the first time Paul's song isn't in the episode as well. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Connie's song is in an episode with Starry and Perry's song. This is also the first episode where Perry's song is in an episode with Starry's song. |
|||
* That Major Mobile thinks Urkel is evil is a running gag in Season 4. |
|||
* This is the first episode where it only takes place at night, and one of two in the series, the other being "Glow in The Dark Starry". |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''This is My World.''' |
|||
18. Mirror Mirror |
|||
* This is the first episode where the Shapies have a fight. |
|||
* This is the second time that Bob, Paul, Sally and Tammy have been in a group, the first time being "X Marks The Spot". |
|||
* This episode is typical of the two "sides" that make up the band. Always one tends to find Sammy Square and Sarah Circle on one end with two or three of the smaller Shapies (e.g., Rex the Rectangle) while Bob Oblong, Paul the Ball, Sally Cylinder, and Tammy Triangle are constitute another realm. |
|||
* This is the first episode where the mirror world is explored. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''Do That Shapies Thing!.''' |
|||
19. Full of Hot Air |
|||
* This is the first time that the Shapies go outside. |
|||
* Rex is the only one who doesn't go outside. |
|||
* This is the first time viewers get to see a portion of a human's face: in the opening scene, there is a flash shot of Chad's teeth. |
|||
* This episode makes a reference to ''Toy Story''. |
|||
Bob Oblong: "To infinity and…" (voice trails off) "uh, the other place". (This is a reference to Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase.) |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''Our Balloon Ship.''' |
|||
20. Cheap Tricks |
|||
* This is the first direct interaction the Shapies have with Mr. Boo since the episode "Virtual Shapies". |
|||
* This is the first time where Connie's song is sung first. This is also the first episode where Connie's song is sung in an episode with Sally and Sammy's song in it as well. |
|||
* It is unknown how the button got on the podium. |
|||
* The order in which the Shapies volunteer is Bob and Paul, then Starry and Connie, then Sammy and Perry, then Sarah and Tammy, and finally Rex and Sally. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''Magic is Magic.''' |
|||
21. Shape Up For The Gold |
|||
* The lesson in this episode is similar to the one in "The Great Race". |
|||
* This is the only episode in Season 2 where Tammy's song is sung in an episode without Bob's song in the episode as well. |
|||
* The events in the carnival were the marathon, the egg race, the bouncing competition, the three-legged race, and the sack race. |
|||
* Gossip says he can't ring his bell during the marathon. But he does manage to sound one ding for the three-legged race. Perhaps he had an unseen tune-up. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Mr. Boo and the Shapies get along with each other. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''Win or Lose, You Still Win.''' |
|||
22. Stitch Witches |
|||
* This episode makes a reference to the Who's on first. |
|||
(TWITCHY WITCH: Witch music rocks! |
|||
SARAH CIRCLE: Which music? |
|||
TWITCHY WITCH: That's what I said: "Witch music!" |
|||
SARAH CIRCLE: Which music is that? |
|||
TWITCHY WITCH: Yes, witch music!) |
|||
* This episode makes a reference to The Wizard of Oz |
|||
Twitchy Witch: …and your little doggy too! |
|||
* This is the only time in Season 2 where Lauren appears. |
|||
* Sally does not get any lines in this episode. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Bob's song is sung in an episode with Sarah's song. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''What Is Music''' |
|||
23. Wet World |
|||
* Sarah Circle says this is the Shapies' first-ever time outside the bedroom. That can't be right, since in '''Full of Hot Air''', the Shapies rode a balloon ship out the window. |
|||
* An alternate title for this program is '''Underwater Town'''. |
|||
* This is the first episode where Starry's song is sung second. |

|||
* It is unknown who left the water running or how Mr. Boo got inside the bathroom. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is '''Underwater Town.''' |
|||
24. Snow Dome |
|||
* This episode implies that Chad is on summer vacation. |
|||
* Sally refers herself as a pink cylinder, even though Connie is the one who's pink. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is "White World Of Snow". |
|||
25. Once Upon A Shapie Tale |
|||
* Paul the Ball: (banging coconut shells) Clip clop, clip clop |
|||
As the Knight's "horse", Paul banging coconut shells together is a direct tie-in to ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''. The Pythons used the gimmick (an old radio sound effect) so they could shoot the low-budget ''Medieval'' film without real horses. The gag was recreated when Monty Python's ''SPAMalot'' opened on Broadway March 17, 2005. |
|||
* The other song in this episode is "Make A Show Play". |
|||
26. Mr. Boo to The Rescue |
|||
* This episode included flashbacks for several episodes from Season 2, which is the first time it has happened. |
|||
* At the end, when Mirrorman whisks the Shapies back, the Toy Box reemerges, standing mightier than ever. But the Toy Box did not disappear under the carpet at the show's beginning. |
|||
* Chad leaves Zack and gives Mr. Boo to him. |
|||
* This is the conclusion of Season 2 and the end of the Mr. Boo arc. |
|||
* This marks the final appearance of Gossip the Clock |
|||
* The other song in this episode is "We'll Always Be Friends". |
