** Between 2001 and 2006, were two music CD releases, which between them, contains every single song from the series. The catch? They're long out of print, and due to the [[ScrewedByTheLawyers snafu with Sony's licensing]], will probably never go back into print ever again. Good luck getting a copy of both.

** On the western end, Cassie and Emmy were previously WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}} #3 and [[TheOtherDarrin Madeline]] #4. They would also go on to reappear a decade later as [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy and Diamond Tiara]].

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The show is one of four Sesame Workshop series not to air on Creator/{{HBO}} [[note]] the other three being ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'' due to the rights now belonging to [=HG=] Distribution, ''[[Creator/TheUmbilicalBrothers The Upside Down Show]]'' due to the broadcasting rights belonging to Viacom Media Networks, and ''Series/BigBag'' because it used cartoons from around the world in between the puppet segments and there would be a lot of legal red tape to cut to get [=HBO=] to rerun it.[[/note]] due to legal issues involving the rights to the songs in the ''Dragon Tunes'' segments (and most likely Sony's involvement [[note]]who in turn owns US distribution and worldwide Home Entertainment rights, according to this article: http://kidscreen.com/1999/10/01/26892-19991001/.[[/note]]). This problem was averted when Netflix had the show, as they split the stories into individual segments. (FridgeLogic suggests that Sesame Workshop could just easily re-record the Dragon Tunes with different musicians and singers to avoid having to shell out for the original version). As for the music CDs, yeah, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes long out of print]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While a number of official DVD releases are available, there was never a complete series release. Which means that even if you shell out for every official DVD, you'll still be missing quite a bit of the show. January 2013 saw the show made available on Netflix Instant Streaming, [[NoExportForYou which is still of no help]] [[UsefulNotes/RegionCoding to those living outside the US]]. Because when Netflix went global in 2016, the show didn't follow and isn't available on Netflix in a lot of countries.

** According to Jeffrey Scott, who created the show's bible and did a lot of the story-editing, what could have been was a dull, boring show had the writers been forced to follow the original directives. They were given a manual to write from which was very heavy on enforced curriculum, but after delivering the first batch of scripts, all parties involved agreed that they were awful. After this, they were told to put entertainment first and just find ways to shoehorn the morals and lessons in. The result was some pretty fun episodes with plenty of laughs.

* HeAlsoDid: Behind the scenes, Wesley Eure- famous for ''[[Series/LandOfTheLost1974 Land of the Lost]]'' in the 70s and ''Series/FindersKeepers'' in the 80s, was a co-creator. He wasn't credited when the series landed, however; he ended up suing Sony over it.

** An ad appearing in the June 9-5, 1997 issue of ''Variety'', over two years before the program's premiere, mentions the show along with several other Columbia [=TriStar=] programs that were in production at the time. However, it states "Join Blaze the Dragon and Max as they romp through an interactive musical adventure of sing-alongs and wordplay." There was never any character called "Blaze" on the show and while Max did end up being a major character on the show, he rode with the dragon Ord and no mention of him would be complete without also mentioning his older sister Emmy. Also, the show ultimately did not contain any interactive elements and songs were almost always limited to interstitial segments that didn't really have anything to do with the show's contents. The ad also depicts an image of a dragon that doesn't look like any seen on the show.
