Trivia[]
- Get 'Em Tommy has similarities to OK K.O: Let's be heroes most noticeably in the personalities of Tommy & his mom (Fiona) to K.O and his mother (Carol), as well as the emphasis on battles.
- The episodes had no credits.
- According to Victor Courtright Get 'Em Tommy was produced in 2014 but Cartoon Network waited till 2016 to release the shorts.
- Much like Cartoon Network's previous web-series Mighty Magiswords (2015 shorts) the run-time was around three minutes.
- A likely reason for the episodes getting set to "private" on YouTube is due to its creator Victor Courtright, who was a show-runner on ThunderCats Roar. Upon its announcement, the show received a large wave of back-lash and Courtright appeared as a member of the crew in the Roar reveal trailer. Many who were upset about the series began noticing a lot of similarities between this and ThundeCats Roar's art style, which made everyone start to dislike the uploaded episodes out of ill intent.
- All episodes together add up to 40 minutes.
