    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When Cartoon Network purchased the series of Cow and Chicken, Feiss added the "show-in-a-show" segment I Am Weasel (each episode would consist of two seven-minute "Cow and Chicken" segments, and close with one seven-minute "I Am Weasel" segment); when the network renewed the series for a second season, Feiss did not want to keep the I Am Weasel segments, but the network did. Feiss finally agreed to continue with I Am Weasel, on the condition that Red Guy from Cow and Chicken could cross over into I Am Weasel as that segment's main antagonist as well.
