** Ollie and Bernie are instead called Morty and Howard respectively. Cleo is also completely absent, suggesting she was probably added to the series later in the development process. They also had completely different voice actors, due to the short being rather voiced over in the United States than Canada.
** Captain Wowski is the most radically changed character. In the pilot, he's instead called Captain Whiskers, and rather than a mentor figure for Ollie who gave him the pack to protect it, he's a non-intelligent TeamPet for Ollie and Bernie with the true form of a gigantic PlanetEater (making him initially an enemy to the heroes). Also, his design was much simpler, being simply a big round feline head on tentacled legs.

** The creators have stated that the series was originally meant to be much more story/lore-driven, but ExecutiveMeddling asked them to keep things more episodic. However, nuggets of the original plans still manage to shine through with episodes like "Sorry to Father You" and "History of Portshill", as well as the finale, although they are certainly downplayed as background elements of the show rather than the main focus.

** The show's HalloweenEpisode "Lil' Baby Ollie / Nightmare Frightscare!" presents an unusual case. Produced as the 12th episode, Nickelodeon for some reason chose to air "Lil' Baby Ollie" in May, pairing it alongside the episode "Getting Oldie with It" (the 4th episode produced; the episode it was originally meant to be paired with has yet to be shown) while saving "Nightmare Frightscare!" for October where it was aired as the 21st episode without any accompanying episode.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While the series got a decent start with new episodes airing on weekday afternoons at 4:00pm for a few months, reruns were sparse, only airing when there was a week of new episodes. After airing most of the series in a bomb format throughout the summer months, Nick eventually started to give up on it. The show had a Halloween episode air on a Saturday afternoon in October and a planned week of premieres in December was pulled halfway through due to abmysal ratings. In May 2021, the show eventually got shafted to Creator/{{Nicktoons}} to air its final episodes. The kicker? They all aired at ''3:30am'', when no kids are watching, and was placed in the middle of their all night ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' marathons.
