Production

[edit]

Bob the Butler was originally planned to be released in theaters October 2005 with a presumed PG-13 rating, but instead premiered on Disney Channel on August 28, 2005, in an edited down PG version. The edited PG version of the film was made available on DVD on December 20, 2005.

Music

[edit]

Tom Green performed the credits music "My Name is Bob", which was a track produced by Mike Simpson of The Dust Brothers. The background music for that track ended up being used for Green's 2005 single Teachers Suck from his rap album Prepare For Impact.
