* HostilityOnTheSet: The animated series was plagued by a troubled relationship between Creator/HannaBarbera, Larry Harmon, and co-producer David L. Wolper, to the point where it was a major factor in there never being a second season. Tellingly, Jim [=MacGeorge=], who was brought in as Ollie's voice actor at Harmon's insistence, would go on to be a reasonably regular voice actor for Hanna-Barbera over the next two decades, while Harmon himself only ever worked with them again for a RoleReprise of Stan in ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies''.

Added DiffLines:

** Larry Harmon's first attempt at creating an AnimatedAdaptation of the duo came in 1963, when he produced a pilot episode with the same animation team responsible for ''WesternAnimation/BozoTheWorldsMostFamousClown''. NBC rejected the pilot, and Stan Laurel himself derided it as "lousy", resulting in Harmon trying again with Creator/HannaBarbera a few years later. The 1963 pilot apparently also featured Chuck [=McCann=] as Hardy's voice; the finished series instead had Jim [=MacGeorge=] voicing him.
