* AdamAndEvePlot: This happened at the end of "Hollywood's Arc". After eating all of the food on the Ark, chewing off the horns of the unicorns, and other disasters, Hollywood/Noah finally gets sick of the dogs and tries to throw them overboard. Suddenly the storms passes and an overjoyed Noah shouts "Drop anchor, brethren!" Big Dog then throws the anchor in the air, sinking the ship. The Dogs end up swimming to a nearby island. Thousands of years later all of civilization looks like the two stupid dogs. It's probably best not to think about which dog was the "Adam" and [[MisterSeahorse which was the "Eve"]].

Since they're in nature, Little Dog tries to find "nature stuff" give him, but nothing seems remotely pleasing (especially a dead squirrel).

The backup feature of the show was a {{Revival}} of ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel'' called ''Super Secret Secret Squirrel''. This version consistently featured {{Funny Animal}}s beyond Secret and Morocco Mole. It also introduced "Penny", secretary to DaChief (and an obvious [[CaptainErsatz counterpart to]] [[Film/JamesBond Miss Moneypenny]].)

Compare and contrast ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'', which ran alongside the series on TBS and most local stations and were both examples of shows bringing their own style with a good helping of PromotedFanboy love. Even though in content was pretty much different in every way (like being action-adventure instead of comedy). Ultimately they were both ended to focus on the ''What-A-Cartoon!'' project (though for a while, ''SWAT Kats'' fans believed Ted Turner was the cause, thanks to a misquoted interview). Also notable, was that Creator/CraigMcCracken and Creator/GenndyTartakovsky started their careers working on this series before given the chance to make their own shows, ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' and ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''.

Today, the show is notable for kickstarting the
