  • Executive Meddling: According to Bill Burnett, who composed the series' theme song and some of the music videos for the series, the producers weren't fond of him composing songs for the show because his role as the "Creative VP Director" for Hanna-Barbera at the time made them think that a "suit person" like him shouldn't be even doing that kind of work for a series. As a result, he was replaced by Robin Frederick, Alan Zachary, Michael Weiner, Megan Cavallari and David Goldsmith.
  • Follow the Leader: The series was H-B's attempt to cash in on the success of Rugrats. They even have some of the same voice actors.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes:
    • Well, only 6 episodes were released on VHS, and they're long out of print. You can usually find foreign dubs of the show on the particularly popular video site, though.
    • Averted as of April 2018. All eight episodes are available to purchase on iTunes and Google Play. Nothing about a DVD yet, though. On March 28 2019, the whole series was on the Boomerang streaming service. Which is of no help to those not living in the US...
    • And let's not get started on the series' soundtrack, which was published by Rhino records under their Kid Rhino label on CD and cassette. According to Rhino, the soundtrack contained one extra song that had never made it onto the show. You'll be hard pressed to locate it even on torrent sites.
  • Non-Singing Voice: Bamm-Bamm's speaking and singing voices are provided respectively by Christine Cavanaugh and E.G. Daily.
  • Real-Life Relative: Executive producer Sherry Gunther's daughter Taylor Gunther voiced Baby Pebbles.
  • Screwed by the Network: Production was pulled just eight episodes into the show, in part due to Hanna-Barbera shifting their focus towards The What a Cartoon! Show for Cartoon Network.
