Like many shows of the era using popular music, reruns with the original music intact are extremely rare due to the increasing cost to license the songs used.
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')".
Robbie Rist (Whiz) and Peter Renaday (Master Blaster) later voiced characters in different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles media. Robbie Rist did the voice of Michelangelo in the 1990s Ninja Turtles movies and Mondo Gecko in the 2012 animated series and Peter Renaday did the voice of Splinter in the 1987 Ninja Turtles animated series.
