- Follow the Leader: Twice over! The original 2001 pilot was one of several animated shows pitched in the waining days of the prime-time animation boom that happened after South Park and King of the Hill got big. By the time it was green-lit, it had been retooled into a shock humor-heavy Family Guy clone.
- He Also Did: Character designer Seth Kearsley was a director on Family Guy for several years prior to this show, along with a smattering of other prime-time animated shows like Dilbert. He also had his lone theatrical directorial credit in 2002 with Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: The first series did get a limited DVD release and while ABC has said, in 2008, that series two would be released for digital/online downloads (via iTunes and XBox Live Marketplace) this has yet to happen.
- What Could Have Been: The original 2001 pilot
was drastically different from the show it eventually became. For one, it was animated in stop-motion by the soon-to-be-defunct Will Vinton Studios with radically different character designs and, save Tabitha, an entirely different voice cast. It was pitched to The WB, who turned it down because they weren't interested in any animation at the time, which led to the turndown of other Will Vinton TV pilots such as the Boyer Brother pilot and the Klay's TV pilot that were made at the time aswell.
