* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The Arabic name for the animated series is ''Alkalb Aldhakiu'' (الكلب الذكي), which means "smart dog".
* FollowTheLeader: The animated series came not long after ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', another (far more successful) AnimatedAdaptation of a comic strip. Not only that, it was on the same network (Creator/{{CBS}}), made by the same studio (Creator/FilmRoman, though [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM Television]] acted as co-producer for some reason), and even had Creator/MarkEvanier as the head writer.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
** Archives of the strips from before 2004 seem to be largely nonexistent on the Internet.
** The animated series has never had an official home release of any kind, though thankfully all the episodes survived through bootlegs.
* NoExportForYou: The animated series has only been released in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and its origin country, the United States. For non-English releases, it was released in the Arab countries in the Middle East, Denmark, the Francophone countries, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.
* RealLifeRelative: Grimmy and Mother Goose in the cartoon were voiced by real-life couple [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Charlie Brill]] and Mitzi [=McCall=], who writer Mark Evanier had previously worked with on the short-lived 1970s game show ''Series/RhymeAndReason''.
