The show was promoted extensively in Israel, so much that the show's stars actually went on tour there as the Kidd Video band. The American show's only soundtrack album was also an Israeli exclusive release.
Casey Kasem provided the bumper announcements (e.g. "Kidd Video will return after these messages") for this and other Saturday morning children's shows on NBC.
The band's nemesis Master Blaster is named for Stevie Wonder's 1980 hit song "Master Blaster (Jammin')".
