* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While the series was intended for home video, this was one of the few Creator/HannaBarbera shows never seen on either Creator/CartoonNetwork ''or'' Creator/{{Boomerang}}. While the networks did show HB's other direct-to-video series, and CN even showed one special that was blatantly pro-Christian every year, one typically thinks that Adam and Eve may have been the reason this series was benched.

Some continuity problems stem from this, if we are to assume the time-travelers are going through the Bible chronologically. For example, in "Moses" (released in 1986) the gang is amazed at having arrived in Egypt. However, they were already in Egypt in the chronologically previous episode, "Joseph and His Brothers" (released in 1990).
